The people of Puerto Rico voted and chose permanent union with the United States through statehood as their path forward.
For about 3 years, the spending that happened in Puerto Rico was emergency spending by FEMA.
I am pleased to report that Puerto Rico is emerging from a challenging period with strength and optimism into a new era of stability evidenced by the island's economic upswing.
