Adriano Espaillat, a U.S. Congressman representing New York's 13th district since 2017, has recently shared several statements on social media addressing both a national tragedy and local events. Espaillat, who succeeded Charles Rangel in Congress and has an extensive history of public service in New York, took to Twitter to express his condolences and provide updates from his district.
On January 31, 2025, Espaillat reflected on the recent DCA plane crash that claimed the lives of several innocent victims. He stated: "We pause to reflect on each of the lives of the innocent victims among the DCA plane crash and embrace their families during this time of national mourning."
In a subsequent tweet posted on the same day, Espaillat reiterated his sentiments in Spanish: "Hacemos una pausa para reflexionar sobre cada una de las vidas de las víctimas inocentes del accidente aéreo de DCA y abrazamos a sus familias durante este momento de duelo nacional."
Later that day, he shared information about an event occurring within his congressional district with a brief message: "Happening today in my district."
