With 54 members of the U.S. House of Representatives and five U.S. Senators, the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) is one of the most influential political organizations in the United States. Over the years, many of its members have also been valued friends and supporters of the Albanian-American community.
Last weekend, CBC PAC—the political arm of the Congressional Black Caucus—hosted its annual retreat in New York City. The event brought together elected officials, community leaders, advocates, and supporters for discussions on public policy, political priorities, and community engagement, while also providing opportunities to strengthen existing relationships and build new ones in an informal setting.
Vehbi Bajrami, publisher of Illyria newspaper, board member of the Albanian American Relations Council (AARC), and former director of the Albanian Language Service at Voice of America, attended the retreat and met with members of Congress and other political leaders.
