Doy las gracias al Presidente de la Cmara por su atencin al pueblo de Puerto Rico y le deseo una Feliz Navidad con su familia. Sin embargo, no pude votar por el presupuesto general que fue considerado hoy, ya que no garantiz que los maestros estarn en las escuelas para los nios, que la polica estar en las calles protegiendo los barrios, y que los doctores y enfermeras estarn all para ayudar al pueblo de Puerto Rico. A pesar de las buenas intenciones expresadas por accin el prximo ao vot en contra del mnibus hoy y estoy seguro de que otros comprometidos con el pueblo de Puerto Rico hicieron lo mismo. El pueblo de Puerto Rico necesita gente que luche por ellos. Este voto es un momento revelador acerca quin est con ellos y quin no. Rep. Gutirrez representa al Cuarto Distrito de Illinois, es miembro del Comit Permanente Selecto de la Cmara sobre Inteligencia, es miembro del Comit Judicial y el Subcomit de Inmigracin y Seguridad Fronteriza, y el Subcomit de Crimen, Terrorismo, Seguridad Interna e Investigaciones. # # # Washington, DC On Friday, Rep. Luis V. Gutirrez (D-IL) spoke with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI) and they discussed provisions to help the people of Puerto Rico cope with the Islands financial crisis both in the short- and long-run. The following is a statement by Rep. Luis V. Gutirrez: I had a conversation with Speaker Ryan this morning and he reiterated to me that he is committed to working on a comprehensive legislative framework for action in the New Year in which Republicans will take all the best ideas of Puerto Rico and consider in an honest and fair manner ways to restructure Puerto Ricos debt. I thank the Speaker for his attention to the people of Puerto Rico and wish him a Merry Christmas with his family. However, I did not vote for the omnibus budget today because it does not guarantee teachers will be in schools for the children, police will be on the streets protecting neighborhoods, and doctors and nurses will be there to help the people of Puerto Rico. Despite the good intentions expressed for action next year I will vote against the omnibus today and I expect others committed to the people of Puerto Rico will have done the same. The people of Puerto Rico need people to stand up for them. This vote is a telling moment about who stands with them and who does not. Rep. Gutirrez represents the Fourth District of Illinois, is a Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, is a Member of the Judiciary Committee and the Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security, and the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security and Investigations. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
