For Immediate Release: Rep. Wesley Hunt Announces May 21st as Sneaker Caucus Day on Capitol Hill

Washington, D.C. - Congressman Wesley Hunt is proud to announce that he has joined the Congressional Sneaker Caucus as Co-Chair for the 119th Congress and has set Wednesday, May 21st, as Sneaker Day on Capitol Hill! This bi-partisan effort was created to foster new relationships within Congress and promote interaction between Members of Congress and staff from both sides of the aisle. 

The Congressional Sneaker Caucus is partnering with Soles 4 Souls, a well-renowned non-profit, to host a Shoe Drive on Capitol Hill with the goal of donating 50 pairs of sneakers to Americans in need. 

Wesley's passion for fashion, love for Jordans, and attitude toward partnership led him to spearhead this caucus in good faith that Republicans and Democrats can work together this Congress, despite what you may see on TV. 

Congressman Hunt will be donating one of his favorite pairs of Air Jordans as a part of this remarkable effort and looks forward to seeing his colleagues' most stylish pair of sneakers on May 21st! 

Co-Chairs Hunt (R-TX) and Moskowitz (D-FL) Commented:

"I am incredibly excited to serve as a co-chair of the Sneaker Caucus. I grew up in an era where we witnessed the greatest basketball player of all time, and the cultural phenomenon that followed,"said Rep. Hunt. "Michael Jordan represented excellence, elite talent, and the relentless pursuit of greatness—values that inspired an entire generation of Americans. Sneakers have become more than just footwear; they symbolize passion, history, and community. I look forward to championing the intersection of sports and culture to a bipartisan body in Congress on May 21st.  It’s proof that there are still common passions that unite us." 

“I am thrilled to be putting my best foot forward with my new co-chair, Rep. Hunt, as we re-introduce the Congressional Sneaker Caucus for the 119th Congress,” Congressman Moskowitz said. “As Sneaker of the House, I’ve always said that sneakers play such a big role in America’s culture, economy, and fitness. Not only that, but I also believe that bonding over common interests like this one can start conversations that’ll help break down some of the partisanship we see on Capitol Hill. I look forward to my colleagues and their staff joining us as we work together to restore the sole of Congress.”
