Governor: Rossello's credibility as statehood lobbyist remains intact
Gov. Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia said Thursday that neither the judicial process that Ricardo Rosselló Nevares has faced in the Appeals Court nor the Department of Justice investigation into possible electoral and penal code violations on the part of Rosselló and his wife Beatriz will affect the former governor’s work as a congressional delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives.
“They are all focused on the common goal, which is the equality that statehood guarantees,” Pierluisi said in response to questions from the press. “All those voices contribute. All six [congressional delegates] are different, they have their own skill sets and access.”
When asked if Rosselló’s access to members of Congress could be affected by questions about his credibility, Pierluisi replied that “he has ample access in any way, he is well known and knows the issue very well.”
“He can argue in favor of that equality very well, similar to the rest,” he added. “Once again, they complement each other.”
