Dear LULAC Family,

With great pride and excitement, I write to you today as we continue the critical work of LULAC and our mission to advocate for our community. Today, I share some historic news that marks a new chapter in our organization's 95 years.

For decades, LULAC has been leading the fight for policies that protect our community's rights and their future. We have always been committed to ensuring that our voices are heard, that our issues are addressed, and that our people are represented in the centers of power.

For these reasons, we have been exploring the creation of a Political Action Committee (PAC) for quite some time. A PAC not only provides us with a stronger platform to influence policy development but also allows us to support candidates whose policies align with our community's needs and values.

Today, I announce that this vision has become a reality. We have officially created the LULAC Adelante PAC, a milestone for our organization. This powerful tool signals to politicians and policymakers alike that LULAC is not just watching from the sidelines—we are actively participating in the process and intend to use this lever to its fullest potential.

The contrast between the two Presidential candidates in 2024 could not be clearer. One path offers hope for our community, while the other threatens devastation based on their proposed policies. After careful consideration, the LULAC Adelante PAC endorsed the Harris-Walz ticket. However, this endorsement comes with expectations. We demand and will accept nothing less than a seat at the table—a direct role in shaping the policies that impact our community.

The LULAC Adelante PAC is fully operational, registered, and compliant with all Federal Elections Commission (FEC) and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requirements. We are ready to do business and make our presence known. I am also pleased to introduce the incredible team leading the LULAC Adelante PAC: Domingo Garcia as Chair, James Fukuda as Treasurer, Gloria Leal as Secretary, and Board Members Jose Barrera, Mari Corugedo, Lupe Torres, Elida Martinez, Manual Martinez, Victoria Neave, and Juan Lopez. Please join me in welcoming this dedicated team with open arms as they embark on the work we have needed for so long.

Together, we are stronger. Together, we will make our voices heard. Adelante con LULAC!

Warm regards,

Roman Palomares
LULAC National President
