Rep. Nydia M. Velázquez (D-NY) released the following statement regarding the start of the Lunar New Year:
"For so many New Yorkers, the Lunar New Year is an important holiday, when friends and family gather to pay respect to elders, honor tradition and give thanks for blessings in our lives. The festivals, parades and celebrations throughout New York City, and especially in Chinatown, add to the cultural vibrancy of our community and I am proud of how they enrich our City. For all those observing the Lunar New Year, I wish happiness and prosperity for the Year of the Ram."
