Asked to list some of the highlights from his 12 years in the House, Rep. Tony Cárdenas points to one that might not seem like a “big deal.”
“But I think it’s a big deal,” he said of Congress establishing the National Museum of the American Latino. “Not just for me, but for the Latino community. It’s going to educate a lot of other people about how amazing our contributions are.”
The California Democrat also cites his work on health care issues and his time spent “making sure that our bodies of elected officials look like America.”
