SOMETHING FROM D.C. YOU CAN ACTUALLY BE PROUD OF

On the occasion of the 2023 RIAA Honors in Washington, D.C., honorees Sebastián Yatra (who was named Artist of the Year and picked up some groovy plaques), Gloria Estefan (Icon Award), Emilio Estefan (Industry Trailblazer), Sony Latin-Iberia EVP & COO Maria Fernandez (Executive of the Year) and U.S. Reps. Veronica Escobar and María Elvira Salazar (Policymakers of the Year) joined RIAA dignitaries for this stately photo. Seen wishing we could be legislated out of existence are (l-r) RIAA Chief Policy Officer Morna Willens and COO Michele Ballantyne, Yatra, Gloria Estefan, Escobar, Salazar, Fernandez, Emilio Estefan and RIAA Chairman/CEO Mitch Glazier and SVP State Policy & Latin Music Rafael Fernandez Jr.

In other D.C. news, Kevin McCarthy found he didn't have the votes to prevent the conservative caucus from flooding the nation's capital with tarantulas.
