AHEPA Supreme President Kaitson Congratulates Philhellenic Community Following 2026 Midterm Elections

WASHINGTON, D.C. — AHEPA Supreme President E. Chris Kaitson, on behalf of the Order of AHEPA, extends congratulations to all the Philhellenes who participated in and ran for office during the 2026 midterm elections. As the leading, membership-based service association for the nation’s millions of American citizens of Greek heritage, and Philhellenes, we represent a non-partisan position within the U.S.A, maintaining our emphasis on civic engagement, high voter turnout and a non-violent display of American Democracy in action. As the 120th Congress begins in January, we look forward to continuing our legislative strategy of education and issue awareness for our numerous causes, including strengthening ties between the U.S., Greece and Cyprus, ending the Turkish occupation of Cyprus and maintaining a peaceful and stable Eastern Mediterranean. This strategy succeeds via our partnership with the Congressional Caucus on Hellenic Issues, the leading association of national lawmakers dedicated to advancing the Philhellenic cause. In such, we owe special congratulations to caucus co-chairs Gus Bilirakis and Chris Pappas as well as vice chairs Nicole Malliotakis and Dina Titus on all of their successful elections. In particular, Pappas successfully secured a position in the U.S. Senate, and while this means he can no longer serve as caucus co-chair, we wish him all the best and look forward to cooperating with his office as he begins the year in his new role. Congratulations Chris Pappas, congratulations Hellenic Policy Leaders, congratulations election winners and congratulations to all those who went out and exercised their civic duty.
