RNC Statement on National Hispanic Heritage Month

WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus and Co-Chairman Sharon Day released the following statement commemorating National Hispanic Heritage Month:

“During National Hispanic Heritage Month, we recognize the significant contributions of Americans of Hispanic descent to our great nation. Hispanics, throughout our nation’s history, have influenced and excelled in diverse fields and professions including business, law, politics, education, the arts, and the military,” said Chairman Reince Priebus. “We join Americans across the country to celebrate these accomplishments that help shape our rich American culture.

“The desire to achieve the American Dream and leave a stronger America for our children and grandchildren is something Republicans and Hispanics hold dear. That’s why the RNC is in Hispanic communities across the country communicating our shared values of faith, freedom, and opportunity for all. On the ground, we are building lasting relationships with Hispanics and listening to their cares and concerns. In Washington, Republicans are fighting for pro-growth policies that will help empower Hispanic individuals and families to unleash their full potential.

“Throughout this week we also wish a happy independence celebration to Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico and Chile.”

“Each year, this month-long celebration provides an opportunity for all to commemorate the warmth, richness, and diversity of the Hispanic community,” said Co-Chairman Sharon Day. “During this time we also reaffirm our shared commitment to building a stronger, more vibrant economy that opens doors of opportunity for everyone.”
