BETHLEHEM, Pa - First Lady Jill Biden will visit Allentown on Tuesday, according to Rep. Susan Wild's office.
Wild will join Biden, Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chair Nanette Barragán, Rep. Nydia M. Velázquez, and local members of the Latino community to focus on education and workforce development resources available in the Greater Lehigh Valley, according to Wild's office.
Wild's office says the visit is part of CHC on the Road, an initiative that creates opportunities for lawmakers and White House officials to engage with Latino communities.
In a press release published by the CHC, Barragán expressed her excitement around the event:
"Allentown's population is more than 50% Latino, so our Caucus prioritized a trip to engage the city's Latino residents for this CHC on the Road event with First Lady Jill Biden. We will meet with local community members and key stakeholders to let them know about the educational and workforce development resources that the Biden-Harris administration and Democrats in Congress have delivered and made available and accessible to communities throughout America."
The visit will mark the fourth time this year that a White House official has visited the Lehigh Valley.

throughout day between the hours of 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm in the following areas:
