First up:
@SenCortezMasto, who is the definition of a trailblazer. She is the first woman elected to the Senate from NV, and the first Latina ever elected to the Senate. I’m proud to serve with my friend, and will continue to fight alongside her for Nevada’s hardworking families.pic.twitter.com/kyl2XohxWj

The East Las Vegas Library is an exciting and welcoming facility, thanks in no small part to Salvador Avila. Salvador has written books on serving Latino teens, earned Librarian of the Year awards, and is committed to fighting for our immigrant communities. #HispanicHeritageMonthpic.twitter.com/v8cGlbuAwS
