US Congress

A bill has been introduced to US congress for the expansion of Haitian Hemispheric Opportunity Through Partnership for Encouragement

HOPE II Act likely to extend deadline until 2030

It would certainly be a shame to stop the good work being done by the HOPE II Act project that has already seen to growth of the textile sector in the country. the current deadline for the act is 2018, but Senator Bill Nelson, in US Congress on February 12, introduced the notion of extending the HOPE II Act (Haitian Hemispheric Opportunity Through Partnership for Encouragement, and the HELP Act (Haiti Economic Lift Program), which expires in 2020. Both acts seek to be extended to 2030.

There you have it folks. History has been made. The Haitian American candidate just won a seat in US Congress

She beat Democrat Doug Owens by taking 50 percent of the vote, with Mr. Owens's 47 percent.

Mia Love who is 38 years old is the first Haitian-American to win congressional office. She is the baughter of Haitian immigrants. She was the mayor of Saratoga Springs

Recently, Haiti has celebrated a lot of firsts in American politics throughout many states including Florida, New York and D.C., but one woman would have not one, but two firsts. Mia Love, not only the first Haitian-American to win the House seat in Utah, is also the first Black Republican woman to do so. She won over her Democratic rival, Dough Owens, to take the congressional seat with 50% of the precincts. Her victory was welcomed after the loss in 2012 for the same seat.
