Why I’m running
 
I became a LULAC member in 2006 with a mission to improve the civil rights of all Americans.  I became impressed with the organization, its people and the gains we have made. I am running for District Deputy Director because I want to step up to the plate and get this region even more organized.  We got a lot new faces and energized veteran community activists who want to stay involved. I believe that my abilities to fundraise, to dialogue effectively with elected officials and to lead volunteer groups are essential to the mission of the League of United Latin American Citizens.

LULAC

LULAC is the largest and oldest Hispanic Organization in the United States. LULAC advances the economic condition, educational attainment, political influence, health and civil rights of Hispanic Americans through community-based programs operating at more than 700 LULAC councils nationwide. The organization involves and serves all Hispanic nationality groups.

District III

District III is made up of the following counties in Northeast Texas: Archer, Bowie, Clay, Camp, Cass, Collin, Cooke, Dallas, Delta, Denton, Ellis, Fannin, Franklin, Grayson, Gregg, Harrison, Hopkins, Hunt, Jack, Kaufman, Lamar, Marion, Montague, Morris, Rains, Red River, Rockwall, Smith, Titus, Upshur, Van Zandt, Wichita, Wise, Wood and Young.

I'm ready

My main role will be to support our District Director.  The person elected to this position will have his or her mission that I will help carry out.  My promise to you is that I will make sure that the wishes of the District are honored.  I will stress the need for voter registration, citizenship workshops for our immigrant brothers and sisters, more appointments of Latinos on city and county boards and commissions, and continued dialogue with school districts to improve the education experience of our Hispanic children.
