I’m proud to co-chair the U.S.-Mexico Congressional Caucus and help foster strong relations between our two countries... I look forward to this caucus serving as a forum to deepen that relationship.
Use the U.S.-Mexico Caucus to deepen the U.S.-Mexico relationship and foster strong bilateral relations on trade, security, and culture.
Occurrences
Evidence
“This week, Congressman Rudy Yakym (IN-02) and Congressman Joaquin Castro (D-TX-20) launched the bipartisan U.S.-Mexico Caucus. They will lead as co-chairs of the Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives, which will focus on strengthening the relationship between the U.S. and Mexico and facilitating a dialogue on trade, security, and culture.”
“Today, Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar ... joined bipartisan colleagues in launching the U.S.-Mexico Caucus. The caucus will serve as a dedicated forum in the U.S. House of Representatives to strengthen the U.S.-Mexico partnership and advance cooperation on critical issues including trade, security, migration, energy, and regional stability.”
Assessments
Yakym promised to use the U.S.-Mexico Caucus to deepen bilateral relations around trade, security, and culture. The evidence shows that while serving as U.S. Representative for Indiana's 2nd District, he launched the bipartisan U.S.-Mexico Caucus with Rep. Joaquin Castro and became a co-chair, with the caucus explicitly focused on strengthening the U.S.-Mexico relationship and dialogue on trade, security, and culture. That directly matches the promised action and occurred during his same federal House term.
