TEXAS LULAC UNVEILS COMPREHENSIVE 19-POINT LEGISLATIVE AGENDA FOR 2023
======================================================================
Nation's Oldest and Largest Latino Civil Rights Organization Says How Texas
Politicians Decide These Top Priority Issues Will Be a Bellwether for Latinos
Across the United States
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Washington, DC – The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) released
the organization's Texas Legislative Agenda [ [link removed] ]
for the first time nationally as a preview to Latino advocacy stakeholders across
the country of what is ahead in sharply divided statehouses.
"There is no doubt that the Texas Capitol will again be the scene of a
legislative battlefield," said Rodolfo Rosales Jr., Texas LULAC state director.
"2023 marks a point of demarcation where politicians in states like Texas and
Florida are setting out their very different policy views ahead of next year's
presidential race," adds Rosales.
Texas LULAC says the priority issues include the following:
• Affordable Housing
• Affirmative Action
• All Mail-in- Ballot
• Automatic Payroll Deductions
• Child Welfare
• Criminal Justice Reform
• Discrimination & Racial Profiling
• Economic Development
• Education
• Health Care
• Human Trafficking
• Immigration
• LGBTQ
• Persons with Disabilities
• Police Reform
• Redistricting
• Veteran's Issues
• Women's Rights
• Voting Rights

"We are also monitoring how Texas policymakers will allocate funds from a record
budget surplus of $33 billion," said Gloria Leal, LULAC General Counsel, and
Texas legislative expert. "We are tracking how policymakers match that money to
the needs contained in the LULAC Legislative Agenda. Our document serves to help
our members, sponsors, and community allies observe the debate as bills make
their way through the political process. LULAC is ready to add its voice to the
discussion and ensure that we are being heard," she added.
