Yesterday, Representative Adriano Espaillat (D-Washington Heights, Sugar Hill) announced the formation of the Friends of the Dominican Republic Caucus. The caucus kicked off in Washington D.C., with a reception on Capitol Hill. Espaillat made the announcement alongside several of his House colleagues and caucus members, and special guests, including the Honorable Jose Tomas Perez, Ambassador of the Dominican Republic to the United States. “With our growing population and representation across the United States, it remains vital that Dominican-Americans and individuals of Dominican descent have an opportunity to let their voices be heard on the issues and concerns facing their communities around the nation,” said Espaillat. “As a proud member of the Dominican American community and the first Dominican American elected to Congress, starting the Friends of the Dominican Republic Caucus was an honor and I’m appreciative to all who attended yesterday evening launch in Washington.”

El congresista dominicano por el Partido Demócrata en la ciudad de Nueva York, Adriano Espaillat, señaló que Republica Dominicana sigue siendo un destino turístico seguro y atractivo para los visitantes extranjeros. Sostuvo que no ha habido aumento en el número de turistas fallecidos en el país con relación a años anteriores. “El averaje de viajeros fallecidos en distintas circunstancias, en territorio nacional es inferior de años anteriores, según indica el informe del mismo Departamento de Estado de los Estados Unidos”, preciso Adriano Espailat, quien arribo al país en un vuelo de la aerolínea Jet Blue, desde Nueva York.

REVISTA110.- NUEVA YORK.- El congresista dominicano Adriano Espaillat, pidió al Gobierno de Estados Unidos y al congreso la prohibición inmediata de la venta y uso de las armas semi automáticas y revólveres, para evitar masacres como la perpetrada por un supremacista australiano blanco y fanático de Donald Trump, que asesinó a cincuenta musulmanes en la mezquita Christian Church. “Nosotros estamos empujando por un mayor control en el registro de las armas de fuego, con el que se pueda hacer un chequeo del récord de cada aplicante, que sea más meticuloso y profundo para que dé tiempo a detectar a cualquier persona que pueda tener un problema de salud mental y un pasado violento”, dijo Espaillat.

The hot button politician blowing up everyone’s Twitter feeds is the one and only AOC (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez). While she may be the youngest, most progressive Congresswoman on record, there is another Latino breaking records that you should have on your radar. Adriano Espaillat is a Dominican-born American politician representing New York’s 13th congressional district. And, he’s the first formerly undocumented immigrant to ever serve in Congress as well as the first Dominican to ever serve in Congress. He’s not just trying to fit in and make any power grabs either. He’s putting everything on the line to fearlessly serve the immigrant community. Espaillat isn’t abandoning his community and has made them his entire platform. Espaillat has led the Democrat party to introduce an Immigration Package to the floor. Espaillat came to the U.S. as a child with his family. The Espaillats had to live as undocumented until their green card applications were approved a full year later. Espaillat was only 11 years old when this happened. Espaillat led the initial effort to Impeach Trump. When Verizon and DirectTV dropped Televisión Dominicana, Espaillat called on the companies to change course.
