Rep. Joe Morelle
Rep. Morelle of the 25th District plans to bring Angelica Perez-Delgado, president and CEO of Rochester’s Ibero-American Action League. He called Perez-Delgado a friend and advocate who is always looking to connect community members with resources they need to thrive.
Ibero serves as a dual-language and multi-service agency that aims to uplift the Latino community in Rochester, including through language access, elder services, and early childhood education. Perez-Delgado is the seventh president in the 50-year history of Ibero. In a statement, she said she’s proud to represent her organization in front of the nation:
“This invitation is not about me; it represents the resilient families and vulnerable communities we serve every day. At the Ibero-American Action League Inc., our work is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves dignity, opportunity, and the support to thrive. I am proud to stand on behalf of Rochester and the individuals whose strength and determination inspire our mission every day.”
Rep Claudia Tenney
Rep. Tenney of the 24th District plans to bring Wayne County Sheriff Robert Milby to D.C. with her. Tenney says Sheriff Milby represents the best of Upstate New York: Integrity, professionalism, and three decades of dedicated service protecting our families. Her statement says:
“At a time when law enforcement faces unprecedented challenges, it is important to highlight leaders who serve courageously every single day. His presence at the State of the Union represents my solidarity with law enforcement and the men and women who keep our communities safe.”
Milby, from Palmyra, started his law enforcement career in 1995 with part-time service at the Wayne County Sheriff’s Office and the Lyons Police Department. Not long after, he joined the sheriff’s office full-time. He is also a graduate of the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Va., and a founding member of the Wayne County Opioid Task Force and the Wayne County Child Advocacy Center Advisory Board. In a statement, he said it’s an honor to be chosen:
“Justice is strongest when every level of government stands shoulder to shoulder —protecting our citizens together and ensuring that accountability and responsibility are never optional.”
Senator Chuck Schumer
Senator Schumer plans to bring a Rochester startup business owner and a Rochester mother of seven children to the address. Ben Pearson owns a business that makes science kits and other products for classrooms across America. In a statement, Pearson said his business has struggled financially because of the Trump administration’s tariffs.
Eva Wood has relied on Affordable Care Act premium tax credits for health care for her family. In a statement, she said it’s been difficult to afford health insurance since the ACA tax credits expired, and the family must often choose which essential bills they can afford to pay.
