Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the incredible life and legacy of Walter Francis Ulloa, a friend and trailblazer who transformed Spanish-speaking television. Walter grew up in the under-resourced, underserved city of Brawley with humble beginnings and a big dream. Walter was a visionary, a beloved husband, father, brother, and a dear friend. He started his career at KMEX in Los Angeles, a Spanish language television station where he worked his way up from writing commentary to becoming the news director. In 1996, he cofounded Entravision Communications, which grew to become a global digital media powerhouse with a presence in over 40 countries. Throughout his career, Ulloa remained deeply committed to diversity and Latino/Latina representation in the media. I introduced H.R. 8641 to designate the U.S. Post Office building in Brawley, California, as the Walter Francis Ulloa Memorial Post Office Building. My bill is a token of gratitude for Walter Ulloa's legacy, which continues to inspire the people in Brawley, in the entire California's 25th District, and our Nation. His legacy of service, leadership, and unwavering dedication will forever be a cornerstone of our community's history. I urge my colleagues to pass this bill.”
