The Brownsville Chamber of Commerce was proud to participate in the Rio Grande Valley Partnership's Days in Washington, D.C., joining regional leaders from across the Rio Grande Valley to advocate for the priorities that drive economic growth, infrastructure investment, workforce development, and opportunity throughout our region.
🤝 During our time in our nation's capital, we met with the offices of U.S. Congressman Vicente Gonzalez, U.S. Senator John Cornyn, and U.S. Senator Ted Cruz to discuss the planning and priorities of our upcoming Brownsville Chamber Washington, D.C. Fly-In, taking place September 15–17, 2026.
