Orange County, CA (July 10, 2020) – Colonel Greg Raths, USMC (Ret.), a Mission Viejo Councilman, has earned the endorsement of the Hispanic 100 FED PAC for California’s 45th Congressional District.

“As a retired U.S. Marine Colonel, a Mayor, and a City Councilman, Greg is a proven leader in advancing the social and economic success of Orange County residents,” said Mario Rodriguez, Chairman of the Hispanic 100. “The Hispanic 100 is proud to endorse Greg Raths for California’s 45^th Congressional District because of his dedication to serving our country and to improving Orange County.”
Based in Orange County, the Hispanic 100 FED PAC endorses national candidates who support issues impacting the Hispanic population as it relates to the overall social and economic good.
“It is an honor to be endorsed by the Hispanic 100, an organization so vital to our community,” said Raths. “My entire life has been dedicated to representing all groups and races. When I served in the Marine Corps, I took all my Marines with me, Hispanic, Asian American, African American or White. When elected to Congress, I will fight to protect all of us in our diverse community.”

A combat decorated fighter pilot, Greg flew 75 combat missions in Iraq, Kuwait, and Somalia flying the F/A-18 Hornet.
