Political Training & Development:
In April, Latino Texas PAC board members traveled to Austin to participate in the “Latino Path to Victory” training organized by Latino Victory and Annie’s List. Latino Victory is dedicated to empowering Latinos to secure political power and influence across all levels of government. Annie’s List passionately champions women’s participation in politics in Texas, promoting reproductive justice and social equity.
This essential workshop equipped aspiring leaders and campaign volunteers with valuable insights on navigating the political landscape. Houston was well-represented among attendees, many of whom expressed a strong desire to run for office or support campaigns in the near future.
