Representative Adriano Espaillat Welcomes New York City Mayor Eric Adams as State of the Union Address Guest
Espaillat, Adams Signal Collaborative Efforts to Invest in New York City
WASHINGTON, DC – Representative Adriano Espaillat (NY-13) will be joined by New York City Mayor Eric Adams as his guest to President Biden’s State of the Union Address to Congress later this evening.
The State of the Union Address will highlight the achievements that House Democrats and President Biden have delivered over the past two years and the work that Democrats are doing to defend our American values from extreme MAGA Republicans.
“Thanks to House Democrats and President Biden, our country has made tremendous progress for everyday families. Democrats have delivered long overdue investments in infrastructure, landmark legislation to lower health care costs and tackle the climate crisis, a comprehensive effort to create good paying jobs for all, and action to prevent gun violence,” said Espaillat.
“Mayor Adams has been a champion of New York City families and on the front lines of challenges they face ranging from addressing public safety, ensuring affordable housing and educational opportunities, responding to the influx of migrant families seeking asylum, and bolstering our city’s workforce and training opportunities. Mayor Adams exemplifies the progress we have made to defend American values and ensure the American dream of hope and opportunities remain viable for all, and I am proud to have him join as my special guest during this year’s State of the Union address to help continue our collaboration to invest in families and programs across our city,” Espaillat concluded.
“I am honored to join Representative Espaillat at the State of the Union address to hear from President Biden about the progress we have made as a country and the work we still must do on behalf of New Yorkers and all other Americans,” said Mayor Adams. “We have been and will continue to work closely with him and our entire congressional delegation to make New York City stronger, safer, and more prosperous. I look forward to a continued partnership with Congress and the Biden-Harris Administration to implement a comprehensive immigration policy, deliver increased public safety for all New Yorkers, and ensure that our city remains the home of the American Dream.”
