Hoyer Statement on the Upcoming Election in Puerto Rico
WASHINGTON, DC – House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement on the upcoming election in Puerto Rico this weekend:
"Puerto Ricans will have an opportunity this weekend to choose the future status of their island. I hope they will vote for statehood and remain part of our country as a full and equal member of our union. Puerto Ricans, all American citizens, have been a part of the American family for generations, and ties between the island and the mainland run very deep. Ultimately, Congress must respect the decision of the Puerto Rican people as they raise their voices through the ballot box."
