 Latino Leaders Launch Campaign To Address Underrepresentation In Government

 
The National Hispanic Leadership Agenda (NHLA), a coalition of 34 preeminent national Latino organizations, in June announced its Latino Appointments Program. While Latinos have grown in population and political power, the number of Latinos appointed on the federal and state executive levels remain dismal.
 
The NHLA announce a re-energized federal appointments advocacy effort and the first-ever national campaign to increase the number of Latinos appointed to state-level executive positions in key Latino-populated states throughout the country.
 
Since its inception over two decades ago, NHLA has advocated for increased representation of Latinos in the federal government. While Latinos are nearly 17% of the U.S. population, they are just 8% of the federal career workforce and as little as 3% of the employees in several federal agencies, according to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management’s Eleventh Annual Report on Hispanic Employment in the Federal Government.
 
The Latino appointment gap is similarly striking at the federal level, where there is only one Latino pending a Cabinet-level confirmation, and at the state-level, where a recent study of 10 states finds Latinos were just 12% of 1,121 officials in those states.
 
With a renewed sense of political power after the November 2012 elections, NHLA is now embarking on a state advocacy effort to tackle this public service disparity and to increase the presence of Latinos in both federal and state executive level offices.
