            ADVANCING THE WELL-BEING OF THE LATINO COMMUNITY

  (Ms. GARCIA of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. GARCIA of Texas. Madam Speaker, I had the honor of hosting our 
Vice President Kamala Harris in my district as part of the 
Congressional Hispanic Caucus On the Road series just this week.
  Together with our Caucus chair, Nanette Barragan, we delved into 
critical issues, such as reproductive rights, mental health, gun 
violence, small businesses, and the challenges ahead impacting Latinos 
in Texas and across America.
  This visit also provided a platform to discuss the remarkable 
programs achieved under the leadership of the Biden-Harris 
administration, emphasizing the positive impact on our Latino 
community.
  As we reflect on the progress achieved, we are reminded that there is 
yet still so much work to do, and that every issue is a Latino issue.
  Our commitment to advancing the well-being of the Latino community 
remains steadfast, and we are determined to tackle the challenges 
ahead, putting people over politics. As I always say, ``si se puede,'' 
``yes, we can.''
