Rep. Gutierrez Praises Senator Harry Reid


“His contributions have been immeasurable”

Washington, DC –(ENEWSPF)–March 27, 2015.  Today, Rep. Luis V. Gutiérrez (D-IL) issued a statement praising Senator Harry Reid (D-NV), the Democratic Leader in the Senate, who revealed today that he will not seek reelection in 2016.

“Harry Reid is a leader, a mentor, and a friend.  He has taught me a lot about tenacity and compromise.  And he has taught me a lot about fighting for justice.  His many contributions to the fight for justice for Latinos, immigrants, and all Americans do not get the recognition they deserve.  His contributions have been immeasurable.  When I have needed him, he was always there and I hope he feels that whenever he needed me, I was there.  I know he is not leaving the Hill immediately and that he will continue to lead with steady persistence and resolve.”

Rep. Luis V. Gutiérrez represents the Fourth District of Illinois, is a Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, is a Member of the Judiciary Committee and the Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security, and is the Co-chair of the Immigration Task Force of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.
