Washington, D.C. — Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) Chair Rep. Adriano Espaillat (NY-13) released the following statement to celebrate the swearing-in of Rep. Analilia Mejía (NJ-11).
“I am thrilled to welcome Analilia Mejía, a fellow Dominican-American and the second Colombian-American to serve in the House of Representatives, as the 44th member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.
Rep. Mejía is a special kind of fighter and public servant. She knows firsthand the difference a good union job can make for a family, and she knows how to give back to her community.
We need more representatives like her at all levels of government. Her presence will make us a stronger, better Caucus. Congratulations to the voters of New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District – your voice will be heard in Congress.”
