Congressman Lee Zeldin, member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, released the following statement on the death of Fidel Castro:
"With the death of Fidel Castro, we remember those who suffered under his regime and all of the work still ahead to help secure freedom for the Cuban people. Fidel Castro hurt many people during his life and suppressed his own people to selfishly consolidate his own power. Hopefully we are approaching the end of a very dark chapter in the history of a nation with limitless potential to thrive with liberty and opportunity."
