Continuing his tour of the island to promote voter participation in the Nov. 5 status plebiscite, Rep. José Aponte Hernández joined on Sunday with San Lorenzo Mayor Jaime Alverio Ramos, District 33 Rep. Ángel Peña Ramírez, District 7 Sen. Wanda “Wandy” Soto Tolentino and New Progressive Party candidate for resident commissioner William Villafañe Ramos to take the message to the streets of the importance of participating in the general elections.
“This next Nov. 5 is a very important moment for all those who treasure their U.S. citizenship and the permanent union with the United States, the equality of rights, statehood,” the veteran pro-statehood lawmaker said. “That’s why we are here, encouraging you to go out and vote in the general elections and the plebiscite; your vote is very important.”
Also present were at-large Senate candidate Leyda Cruz and House District 34 (Yabucoa, Maunabo, Patillas and San Lorenzo) candidate Christian Muriel and Humacao District Senate candidate Luis Daniel Colón.
In the afternoon, a motor caravan visited the San Lorenzo neighborhoods of Jagual, Quemado, Cerro Gordo an Espino, among others, as well as the traditional San Juan area, with the purpose of dialoguing with the residents about the status plebiscite, as well as the public work that the mayor has done since he was sworn in January, 2021.
“San Lorenzo today is an example of what a mayor committed to the social and economic development of his people can do, as is the case with my friend Jaime Alverio,” Aponte added. “His work, his project and the attention to our people is felt in every corner of this municipality, the so-called ‘51st State.’ For this, this Saturday we will accompany him in the ‘Rally de la Obra.’”
