This resolution highlights the countless contributions that millions of Portuguese Americans have made to our nation.\n\n\u201cLike many Portuguese Americans, my parents came to the United States from the Azores Islands of Portugal in pursuit of the American Dream and greater opportunities for their children,\u201d said Congressman Valadao. \u201cThat same determination has inspired generations of Portuguese Americans to make lasting contributions to our communities here in the Central Valley and across the nation. As co-chair of the Congressional Portuguese Caucus, I\u2019m honored to recognize the impact of the Portuguese American community by formally designating June as Portuguese National Heritage Month.\u201d\n\n\u201cI\u2019m honored to represent a community with deep Portuguese roots.

Costa. \u201cAs we celebrate America\u2019s 250th anniversary, we recognize the lasting contributions Portuguese Americans have made to the San Joaquin Valley and our nation, as well as the enduring friendship between the United States and Portugal.\u201d\n\nRead the full resolution here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-06-25T06:30:03Z", "2026-06-25T06:31:21Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://valadao.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=3876"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4613159000873566, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
