Kevin McCarthy Taps Florida Congressman to U.S.-Mexico Interparliamentary Group

Last week, U.S. Rep. Carlos Giménez, R-Fla., was appointed by U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. to the United States – Mexico Interparliamentary Group for the 118th Congress.

The U.S. – Mexico Interparliamentary Group brings members of Congress from both countries together to work on immigration, security, trade and other issues and continues to build the foundation of the two countries’ relationship.

Giménez said he looks forward to working with his U.S. colleagues and his Mexican counterparts.

“I am more than honored to have been selected by Speaker Kevin McCarthy to serve on the U.S.-Mexico Interparliamentary Group,” said Giménez. “As the representative of nearly 30,000 Mexican Americans in South Florida, I look forward to working with my colleagues to enhance our nation’s economic ties to Mexico, strengthen security cooperation, and address the migrant crisis.”

Giménez serves as the chairman of the U.S. Homeland Security Subcommittee on Transportation and Maritime Security and on the Select Committee on China and the Armed Services Committee. He is the only Cuban-born member of the 118th Congress, having been forced from his homeland shortly after the Communist takeover of the island. Giménez represents parts of Miami-Dade County and the Florida Keys.
