Congressman Robert Garcia Brings Los Angeles County Labor Leader as Guest to President Trump’s Joint Address to Congress

March 4, 2025

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Robert Garcia (CA-42) announced that Yvonne Wheeler, President of the L.A. County Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO, and champion for working people, will be his guest to President Trump’s Joint Address to Congress on March 4, 2025.

“Yvonne Wheeler is a tireless champion for working people, and I’m proud to have her join me to represent the resilience of Long Beach families and workers nationwide,” said Congressman Garcia. “Since day one, co-Presidents Donald Trump and Elon Musk have attacked our workforce by gutting union protections, ripping away healthcare and benefits for employees, and pushing DOGE cuts that crush the middle class. Workers’ rights are under fire, but we will always stand with labor to fight back and win.”

The President’s Address to a Joint Session of Congress will be held on Tuesday, March 4 at 9 p.m. ET.

Congressman Garcia is a strong advocate for workers' rights and expanding labor protections. The son of an SEIU worker, Congressman Garcia believes that union jobs are a critical pathway to the middle class and has supported passing the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act to strengthen workers’ right to organize. Congressman Garcia is committed to protecting workers and securing fair and equitable workplaces. Last Congress, Congressman Garcia called on the CEOs of Fortune 1,000 companies to affirm their commitment to workplace equality and stand against coordinated conservative efforts to dismantle programs and policies that foster inclusive workplaces.
