What they stand for
Espaillat has spent time focused on a few core fights. Each is tied to bills actually introduced or votes actually cast.
- 01Supports limits on immigration enforcement near sensitive locationsEspaillat sponsored the Protecting Sensitive Locations Act (HR.1061), which would restrict immigration enforcement actions at or near designated sensitive locations such as schools, churches, and hospitals. The bill has been reintroduced and has drawn between 100 and 199 cosponsors, reflecting sustained interest in the legislation.
- 02Supports recognizing gun violence as a public health crisisEspaillat sponsored HRES.835, a resolution declaring gun violence a public health crisis. The measure has been reintroduced, indicating continued legislative priority. Separately, he also voted against the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 (HR.2670) on final passage.
- 03Supports U.S. participation in international climate financeEspaillat sponsored the Green Climate Fund Authorization Act of 2025 (HR.2997), which would authorize U.S. contributions to the Green Climate Fund, an international mechanism for directing resources toward climate-related projects in developing nations. The bill has been reintroduced and is in committee.
- 04Supports disaster housing protections for survivorsEspaillat sponsored the Housing Survivors of Major Disasters Act (HR.426), a reintroduced measure in committee that would address housing access and stability for individuals affected by federally declared major disasters. The bill has drawn a small number of cosponsors.
- 05Supports commemorating Harlem's cultural and historical figuresEspaillat sponsored the enacted Holcombe Rucker Park National Commemorative Site Act (HR.6852) and the resolution honoring the legacy of the Harlem Renaissance (HRES.146). He also sponsored measures recognizing fencer Peter Westbrook (HRES.758) and the Roberto Clemente Commemorative Coin Act in multiple sessions (HR.1787, HR.6751).

01 · Background
Who they are, where they came from
Adriano Espaillat represents New York's 13th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives, a seat he has held since January 2017. He is the first Dominican American and first formerly undocumented immigrant to serve in Congress. Before his election to the House, Espaillat served in both the New York State Senate and the New York State Assembly. His legislative record in the House spans commemorative legislation, public health, immigration enforcement limits, disaster housing, and environmental policy. He sponsored the Holcombe Rucker Park National Commemorative Site Act (HR.6852), which was enacted into law, establishing a national commemorative site honoring the legacy of a Harlem playground legend. He has sponsored two versions of the Roberto Clemente Commemorative Coin Act (HR.1787, HR.6751), each drawing substantial cosponsor support in committee. On defense appropriations, he voted against final passage of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 (HR.2670), a vote that placed him against the majority of his party. He has also sponsored measures addressing immigration enforcement near sensitive locations (HR.1061), gun violence as a public health matter (HRES.835), and U.S. participation in international climate finance (HR.2997).
