Washington, DC-Congressman Gene Green(D-Houston) hosted an annual Tamales and Margaritas Celebration at his office in Washington, D.C. in order to bring an old Mexican tradition, which was adopted by Tejanos long ago, of celebrating the holidays with hot tamales to his friends and colleagues in D.C.
The Congressman hosted a number of Members and staffers from the Energy and Commerce Committee, the Texas Delegation and member of the Democratic Leadership. Members and staffers mingled as they enjoyed tamales brought back from the Congressman’s District in Houston, margaritas and chips and homemade salsa.
“We’ve been having this party now for years,” said Congressman Gene Green. “It’s an opportunity for us to spend some time with our colleagues in a different setting other than work. Back home its tradition to celebrate Christmas and New Years, with a hot batch of tamales, and I love that tradition. Judging from the number of people that were here last night, I would say they enjoyed it too.
