“Last week marked the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month, a time when all of us can take a moment and recognize the tremendous contributions of Hispanic Americans who have made our communities a great country. Mr. Speaker, I have the privilege of representing one of the most diverse congressional districts in the country. Our diversity has always been our strength, and Hispanic Americans are sewn into the very fabric of what makes our slice of Nevada special. To honor the history, culture, and contributions of Latinos to the United States, I am pleased to join my colleague from California, Congressman Tony Cardenas, as the original cosponsor of his resolution recognizing Hispanic Heritage Month. So, whether it is the innovative entrepreneurs who are starting businesses and creating jobs, the ambitious students studying to become tomorrow's leaders, or the brave men and women who serve our country in uniform, the story of Hispanic Americans is the story of all Americans. ____________________”
