Diaz-Balart: U.S. Citizens in Puerto Rico Will Help Determine the Future of the Island

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) released the following statement, encouraging the U.S. citizens of Puerto Rico to vote in the upcoming plebiscite that will help determine the future of the island:

“The people of Puerto Rico have contributed greatly to the American society and our way of life since the island became a territory more than a century ago.  However, the question of Puerto Rico’s ultimate status has not been resolved.

On November 6^th, the U.S. citizens of Puerto Rico have the remarkable opportunity to take a critical step towards resolving a significant issue facing the island’s future. 

I strongly encourage the voters to make their voices heard and take part in this important process of self-determination.”
