Republican lawmakers in California have established a new California Hispanic Legislative Caucus to address the lack of representation for Latino voices in government. Founded by Senators Suzette Valladares and Kate Sanchez, the caucus aims to include voices traditionally sidelined by the long-dominant Democratic Latino Legislative Caucus. Valladares emphasizes that many Latino families have been excluded from the California Dream, with members advocating for a focus on economic issues relevant to younger Latino voters, signaling a shift in priorities from conventional immigration and racial justice topics.
Latino families in California have been priced out of the California Dream...millions of Latino voices that are not being represented in Sacramento.
There are more and more of us that are second- and third-generation born Californians who care about these middle and working class issues.
