Folks,

We are thrilled to welcome Lizet Ocampo as our Executive Director -- a new position for the organization. Her wealth of experience and knowledge in the Latinx political space will be invaluable to our organization’s efforts.

As Lizet is coming on board, can you let her know what your priorities are for Latinx voters over the next two years?

Lizet is a seasoned political operative with a keen understanding of the needs of our community. Her decade of electoral work has demonstrable results. I look forward to what we will be able to accomplish together in the days ahead, and election cycles to come.

Here’s what Lizet says about her new role:

“I’m honored to be joining Voto Latino and the exceptional work they do in registering and engaging Latinx voters, as well their growing leadership to combat disinformation in the Latino community.

I’ve seen first-hand the issues that resonate with Latinos and the voting power the community has to help create positive change. With the growing assault on voting rights and impending redistricting battles set to disproportionately disenfranchise voters of color, now is the time to get to work, protecting the rights of Latinx voters and shepherding the next generation to be politically engaged. I can’t wait to get started!”

Thank you for joining me in welcoming Lizet to the team. You’ll be hearing more from her in the weeks to come.

CEO, Voto Latino
