| https://gonzalez-colon.house.gov/media/press-releases/house-responds-jennifer-gonzalez-and-approves-35-billion-disaster-relief-funds | House responds to Jennifer Gonzalez and approves $35 Billion for disaster relief funds that will benefit Puerto Rico | 2017-10-12 | 2017 | 2017-10 | Republican | House | PR | Jenniffer González-Colón | G000582 | gonzalez-colon.house.gov | legacy | Washington DC - The House of Representatives approved today by a vote of 353-69 the Supplemental Appropriation for Disaster Relief Bill, HR 2266, which allocates over $35 billion for emergency response and would benefit Puerto Rico in the recovery phase after the devastation from two hurricanes in less than two weeks. This was reported by the Resident Commissioner, Jennifer González Colón, who earlier today addressed the House chamber calling on fellow congressmen to vote in favor of the measure. “The Supplemental Appropriation for Disaster Relief Bill that we have in front of us is a big one, however, it is the first step of our goal. The funds included this bill are urgently necessary to provide resources for American families and communities that are suffering. It will help to continue current efforts, provide immediate relief and helping to start the reconstruction process. Yesterday in a press conference, PR’s Resident Commissioner announced the filing of the legislative piece that appropriates $35 billion in emergency funding and includes PR and the U.S. Virgin Islands. GOP House Leadership members who hosted and endorsed that press conference included Speaker Paul Ryan, Conference Chair Cathy McMorris, Majority Whip Steve Scalise and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy. “I want to thank [Puerto Rico Congresswoman] Jenniffer [González-Colón] for the work she has been performing I want to echo what [Majority Leader] Kevin [McCarthy] has said. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people in Puerto Rico. We’re going to show it with action and expressing our concern directly to them on Friday”, said Speaker Paul Ryan, who arrives tomorrow with González Colón to Puerto Rico, along with other congress members. “Puerto Ricans are American, and as Americans we take care of our own. This island is totally devastated and I’m pleased that the delegate from Puerto Rico, Jennifer Gonzalez, is with us today and has been such a tireless advocate and tremendous leader, as they begin a long process of rebuilding” stated … | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||
| https://gonzalez-colon.house.gov/media/press-releases/house-committee-discuss-situation-puerto-rico-and-us-virgin-islands-after | House Committee discuss the situation in Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands after hurricanes Irma and Mara | 2017-10-05 | 2017 | 2017-10 | Republican | House | PR | Jenniffer González-Colón | G000582 | gonzalez-colon.house.gov | legacy | Washington DC- House Committee on Natural Resources Chairman Rob Bishop (R-UT) organized an informal roundtable yesterday for the members of the committee to discuss the situation in Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands after hurricanes Irma and María. Puerto Rico Resident Commissioner Jenniffer González Colón and USVI Delegate Stacey Plaskett each presented to the committee a report on the situation in their respective territories, describing the total physical and economic devastation caused by the storms and the stages of progress in the response and recovery effort, as well as estimates of damages. Both spoke passionately about the experiences of their constituents and thanked the members of the committee for the commitment expressed to support the rebuilding needs. Committee staff reviewed for the members the jurisdiction and competencies of the committee, which has oversight over the territories’ administration. This enables the committee to act in aspects such as streamlining administrative regulations; however, for other financial, labor or health service type actions it will require working together with the other committees with primary jurisdiction. That includes moving forth the emergency response legislation that may be pending before these committees. One issue that is within the Natural Resources Committee jurisdiction is Title V of PROMESA, which defines critical infrastructure projects and that may be something to which to consider having the Fiscal Board change focus or even to amend. The Chairman and members of the committee agreed with both the Caribbean Congresswomen that there must be a new vision of FEMA’s mandate, so that it should not be merely to restore what existed on the day of landfall as it was, but to cooperate with a reconstruction that is up to current standards and less vulnerable to future hazards. The delegations from the other insular territories equally expressed their interest to have that be applicable in the future to all jurisdictions “I thank Chairman Bishop and al… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||

Seúl, República de Corea del Sur- La comisionada residente, Jenniffer González Colón, presentó las oportunidades para hacer negocios en Puerto Rico a varios conglomerados de empresas, como parte de su visita, junto a una delegación congresional bipartita, para estrechar los lazos comerciales y de seguridad entre Estados Unidos y Corea del Sur. La comisionada resaltó los incentivos económicos, la infraestructura de la isla, la mano de obra local especializada y las regulaciones federales como atractivos para hacer negocios en Puerto Rico. González Colón participó de una mesa redonda de trabajo con la Cámara de Comercio Americana en Corea, donde discutió en más detalles las ventajas de invertir en Puerto Rico. Allí conversó con el presidente y CEO de la organización, James Kin. En la noche, la congresista habló ante cientos de empresas que integran el Korea International Trade Association (KITA) sobre los incentivos que ofrece Puerto Rico en áreas especializadas como farmacéutica, tecnología, biomedicina, industrias creativas, textiles, informáticas, entre otros. Los congresistas se reunieron además con el presidente de SPC Group, Hur Young-in, gran conglomerado en Seúl que reúne productores de alimentos y confitería; y con el presidente de CJ Group, Sohn Kyung-Shik, otro conglomerado, pero en esta ocasión de compañías de inversión. La delegación congresional busca reforzar la alianza comercial entre Estados Unidos y Corea del Sur ante el Tratado de Libre Comercio entre ambas naciones o KORUS que entró en vigor el 15 de marzo del 2012. La comisionada residente visitó, además, la zona desmilitarizada (DMZ) entre Corea del Norte y Corea del Sur donde se reunió con el secretario de las Naciones … | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
