President Sheinbaum has been a true leader in Mexico, as a professor and climate scientist, a Nobel laureate, as the mayor of Mexico City, and now in the country's highest office. About a year ago, I had the pleasure of meeting with Dr. Sheinbaum in Los Angeles, where we spoke about the strong relationship between Los Angeles and Mexico and our shared priorities, including support for L.A.'s Mexican-American population, the largest outside Mexico.

"Congratulations President Sheinbaum, and I look forward to our continued partnership as we continue to create safer and more equitable communities for those we serve, and to seeing all you will do for the people of Mexico."
