Pedro Pierluisi: “your bill, Resident Commissioner, Congressman Soto's bill, is the right approach.”

It should not be surprising that 105 years after becoming U.S. citizens by birth, Puerto Ricans want to vote for President and to have voting representation in Congress.

I want to thank you for holding the 'Puerto Rico's Post-Disaster Reconstruction & Power Grid Development' hearing last week.

Congress should call for a vote on the political future of Puerto Rico and commit to implementing the will of the majority.

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.
