Dominican Bar Association Congratulates Senator Luis R. Sepúlveda on Appointment as Chair of the New York State Senate Judiciary Committee

New York, NY — The Dominican Bar Association (DBA) proudly congratulates Luis R. Sepúlveda, Senator for New York’s 32nd Senate District in the Bronx, on his appointment as Chair of the New York State Senate Judiciary Committee, a vital leadership role responsible for overseeing legislation affecting New York’s judiciary and court system, as well as reviewing and advancing judicial nominations.

Senator Sepúlveda’s appointment represents a historic milestone and a significant moment for the legal community across New York State—and particularly for the Bronx, a borough long shaped by its rich diversity and deep commitment to justice and civic engagement. As Chair of the Judiciary Committee, Senator Sepúlveda will play a central role in shaping the laws that govern the administration of justice and in safeguarding the integrity, independence, and effectiveness of New York’s courts.

Throughout his distinguished career in public service, Senator Sepúlveda has been a consistent and principled advocate for the broader Latino community across New York. Representing a Bronx district with one of the state’s largest Latino populations, he has worked to ensure that Latino voices are represented at the highest levels of judicial decision-making and within the judicial nominations process, helping to promote a judiciary that reflects the communities it serves.

The Dominican Bar Association is grateful for Senator Sepúlveda’s continued support of the Latino legal community and his longstanding commitment to equity, access to justice, and inclusive leadership. His appointment underscores the importance of diverse perspectives in positions of judicial oversight and serves as an inspiration to Latino attorneys, law students, and community leaders throughout the Bronx and across New York State.

The DBA looks forward to Senator Sepúlveda’s continued leadership and partnership as he assumes this critical role in service of New York’s justice system and its diverse communities.
