Rep. Nydia Velázquez-Democrat
Rep. Nydia Velázquez was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1992; this year will be her twelfth term. Before she served as a House Representative, she was appointed Special Assistant to Congressman Edolphus Towns. She was the first Puerto Rican woman to be elected into the House. Velázquez serves on two committees, House Committee on Small Business and House Committee on Financial Services. In 2006 she was named the first Latina to chair a full Congressional committee; the House Committee on Small Business. Nydia Velázquez sponsors bills such as commerce, housing and community development, health, financial and financial sector, and taxation.
Encrypt Act- I’m not sure if Nydia Velázquez would have a strong opinion on this act based on the committees she is in. Her vote could go either way on this act.
Aviation Reform Bill- This would be the same as the Encrypt Act because Nydia Velázquez isn’t involved in any committees concerning aviation. Her vote on the bill could go either way.
Sentence Reform Act- I think that Velázquez would vote for this act because of her involvement in housing community development.
