Resolution comes ahead of the team’s visit to Capitol Hill to celebrate their championship win WASHINGTON, D.C. — Representative Jimmy Gomez (CA-34) is leading a House resolution to honor the Los Angeles Dodgers for winning the 2024 Major League Baseball World Series—their eighth championship in franchise history and first since 2020. “As the Representative for the heart of Los Angeles and Dodger Stadium, it’s incredible to see the Dodgers bring the World Series trophy home to LA, where it belongs,” said Rep. Gomez. This win continues to be a reason to celebrate the resilience, talent, and unity of our community in LA. This victory means everything to our city and every Dodgers fan, especially after the heartbreak of missing a parade to celebrate our 2020 victory and the loss of the legendary Fernando Valenzuela.” The Dodgers clinched the championship in Game 5 of the World Series, capping off a season that included 98 regular season wins, the best record in baseball, and their 11th National League West title in 12 seasons. The resolution also honors the late Fernando Valenzuela, whose legacy continues to inspire generations of Angelenos and deepened the Dodgers’ bond with LA’s Latino community. Valenzuela passed just days before the World Series began. Original cosponsors of the House resolution include Reps. Pete Aguilar (CA-33), Nanette Barragán (CA-44), Julia Brownley (CA-26), Judy Chu (CA-28), Laura Friedman (CA-30), Sydney Kamlager-Dove (CA-37), Luz Rivas (CA-29), Linda Sánchez (CA-38), and Norma Torres (CA-35). The Senate companion resolution, led by Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) and former Senator Laphonza Butler (D-CA), passed unanimously. Click here to read the full text of the resolution. ### |
