Representative Adriano Espaillat will deliver the Democratic Spanish language response to President Trump’s Joint Address on Tuesday, March 4, 2025.
Said Rep. Espaillat, “Democrats must lead the American people’s response to many of the Trump administration’s most egregious violations of our laws, our social norms and of the principles that bind us together as Americans. As chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC), it is my honor to bring that response to the millions of people in our comunidad who speak Spanish, whether at home, at work, at church, or just out of choice. Our diversity is a source of strength when we tap into it – that’s why I’ll be elevating the Democratic message to more than 50 million Americans in the language they choose.”
“Adriano Espaillat embodies the very essence of the American dream…”
“Adriano Espaillat embodies the very essence of the American dream. Throughout his career, Adriano has fought to keep that same promise of the American dream alive for millions of American families. As Chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, he has worked tirelessly to advance an agenda for all Americans by lowering the price of groceries, making homes more affordable, and providing stability,” said Leader Chuck Schumer .
Leader Jeffries said, “Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chairman Adriano Espaillat is an extraordinary trailblazer and advocate on behalf of his constituents in New York’s 13th congressional district, the Dominican American community and the country. He has been a critical voice in creating opportunities for Latinos and immigrants all across the United States and a courageous leader as we fight for social and economic justice for everyone. House Democrats are proud to have Chair Espaillat leading the way as we reach out to Spanish-speaking households across the country.”
