Washington, D.C. - Today, Congressman Carlos A. Giménez (FL-28), the only Cuban-born Member of Congress, has initiated a poster campaign at his Congressional office in Washington D.C. in response to the significant anti-regime demonstrations occurring in Cuba.
"Since March 17, much like they did on July 11, 2021, hundreds of thousands of brave Cubans took to the streets to demand freedom, power, food, and the end of the criminal Communist regime," stated Rep. Gimenez. He further expressed, "In response, the regime throttled internet access and mobilized its gang of thugs to brutalize and jail those clamoring for freedom. As the only Cuban-born Member of Congress, I am proud to use my voice to denounce the atrocities of the Castro regime and support the freedom-loving people of Cuba who continue organizing in cities and towns across the island."
Congressman Carlos Giménez is the sole Cuban-born Member of Congress, having escaped the island with his family shortly after the Communist takeover. Representing Miami-Dade County and the Florida Keys, he holds the position of Chairman of the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Transportation and Maritime Security, and is a member of the Armed Services Committee and the Select Committee on China.
