Congresswoman Frederica S. Wilson issued the following statement to acknowledge Haitian Flag Day:

"On this day in history in 1803, Haitian Revolution leader Jean-Jacques Dessalines and his goddaughter Catherine Flon created Haiti's first flag. The small island nation was fighting for its independence and on the verge of making history for staging the only successful slave revolt on the Western Hemisphere. Each year on May 18, we celebrate Haitian Flag Day, honor Haitian culture, and applaud the many contributions Haitians make to the United States.

Congresswoman Frederica S. Wilson issued the following statement in response to the six-month extension of Haiti's Temporary Protected Status designation:

Congresswoman Frederica S. Wilson issued the following statement in response to the White House budget:

"The Trump budget is an all-out assault on the poor. Once again, the administration has prioritized the needs of the rich over the poor.

"The budget double-downs on Medicaid with a $610 billion cut on top of the cuts made in the Republicans' health care bill. It literally takes food out of the mouths of babes by cutting $190 billion from SNAP over a ten-year period.
