2017 National Directory of Latino Elected Officialsi

PREFACE

The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) Educational Fund is pleased to publish the 2017 National Directory of Latino Elected Officials, which marks the thirty-third year that the NALEO Educational Fund has compiled and disseminated a comprehensive enumeration of Latino elected officials throughout the nation. The Directory includes the following information in Excel database format:

• The names and the addresses of the nation’s Latino elected officials; • Their geographic distribution; • The levels of government they represent; and • Their political affiliation.

For each year between 1984 and 1994, prior to the publication of the Directory, the NALEO Educational Fund published its National Roster of Hispanic Elected Officials, which provided a listing of Hispanic elected officials, organized by jurisdiction. In 1996, the NALEO Educational Fund decided to change its methodology for compiling information about Latino elected officials, and initiated its publication of the National Directory of Latino Elected Officials, which contains a listing similar to the one published in the Roster. However, where the Roster for any given year had included elected officials who had served in office at any time during that year, the Directory generally includes only those elected officials who were in office as of January of the year of publication. Because so many significant elections occur in November of each year, this change enables the Directory to reflect the results of the previous year’s November elections. For the reasons explained in the “Methodology” section on page iv, as a result of this change, data on the number of elected officials in the Directory should not be used to make statistical comparisons with the data in previous Rosters.

We hope that this Directory provides our readers with a useful resource both to identify Latino representatives and to measure the civic activity of the Latino community.

2017 National Directory of Latino Elected Officialsiii

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS2017 Edition

The NALEO Educational Fund extends its sincere appreciation to all the individuals who assisted in the compilation of this Directory. Without their assistance it would not be possible to complete this work. While it is impossible to acknowledge all, the NALEO Educational Fund is particularly indebted to the following persons.

We are appreciative of the Latino office holders and their staff who were so responsive to our verification phone calls and who referred the names of other Latino elected officials. Many of these individuals generously gave of their time to review sections of the Directory to help ensure its accuracy and completeness.

Additionally, we wish to acknowledge the many significant contributions made by the late Dr. Harry Pachon, who laid the foundation for the Rosters that preceded the Directory and guided their development during his tenure as the NALEO Educational Fund’s Executive Director. Finally, we are grateful to the members of the NALEO Educational Fund staff for their efforts on the Directory. First, we extend a special thanks to Martha Recio, who coordinated the entire Directory production process, and personally conducted a significant amount of the elected official verification. We also appreciate the contributions of Monica Medina, who assisted with verification and proof-reading, and Rosalind Gold who provided overall guidance for the publication of the Directory. The NALEO Educational Fund is grateful to all those individuals who helped make the Directory a successful reality.

2017 National Directory of Latino Elected Officialsiv

Since 1984, the NALEO Educational Fund has conducted an annual verification to ascertain the number of Latino elected officials nationwide. To initiate the enumeration process, the NALEO Educational Fund turned first to its own constituency, Latino elected officials identified during past verifications. Potential Latino office holders were also identified through state and local government directories and World Wide Web sites on the Internet, major newspapers’ listings of national and local election results, and membership lists of national, state and local organizations.

Because turnover in elected office occurs so frequently, the NALEO Educational Fund also conducted an extensive phone verification process. The NALEO Educational Fund staff contacted all Latino elected officials identified by phone or fax, and more than 6,000 inquiries were completed during the verification period. Typically, questions asked in the verification process included “Is the office holder Latino?” and “Does he or she know of other Latino elected office holders in the jurisdiction?” In the overwhelming majority of cases, the individuals contacted were cooperative with the NALEO Educational Fund staff, generously providing mailing addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, fax numbers, party affiliations, term of office expiration dates, and demographics of Latino office holders.

The phone verification process proved invaluable. Many individuals having Spanish surnames were in fact, not Latino. Conversely, other individuals with non-Spanish surnames were identified as being Latino.

As noted in the “Preface,” in 1996, the NALEO Educational Fund changed its methodology for the compilation of information about Latino elected officials. The 2017 Directory generally includes only those elected officials who were in office as of January 2017. Thus, although the Directory contains some basic data on Latino elected officials for the nation as a whole and each state, the data in the Directory should not be used to make statistical comparisons with the data in the National Rosters of Hispanic Elected Officials published by the NALEO Educational Fund between 1984 and 1994.

Additionally, past Rosters and Directories included a listing of Latino Chicago Local School Councilmembers (LSC’s) in the Illinois section. However, the NALEO Educational Fund found that the number of Latino LSC’s fluctuates widely from year to year, and their inclusion in the statistics presented in the Directory created questions about using Directory data to make comparisons between different states and different time periods. To enhance the comparability of Directory data, the NALEO Educational Fund has decided to discontinue the inclusion of statistics about LSC’s and their listing in its Directory.

Although the NALEO Educational Fund employed an extensive variety of methods to identify Latino office holders, and we are highly confident of the names included, as a result of the frequent turnover in elected offices, the Directory may contain some errors or omissions. It is our hope that in future editions of the Directory, these errors will be corrected. All readers of the Directory are urged to contact Martha Recio of the NALEO Educational Fund by phone at (213) 747-7606, ext. 4448, or by e-mail at [email protected], to provide information on Latino elected officials not currently included.

aDoes not include Chicago Local School Councilmembers (LSC’s). The number of Latino LSC’s fluctuates widely from year to year, and their

inclusion in the statistics presented in the Directory has created questions about using Directory data to make comparisons between different states and different time periods. To enhance the comparability of Directory data, the NALEO Educational Fund has decided to discontinue the inclusion of statistics about LSC’s in its Directory.

Additionally, in 2004, New York City replaced its community school boards with 32 community education councils, each governing a community school district. Members of the public elected representatives to the community school boards, and past Directories included those representatives as elected officials. However, for the reasons set forth in the note on page 14, we do not classify the members of the new community education councils as elected officials. This change should be taken into account when making comparisons between data in this Directory and those of previous years.bIn Directories published before 2001, Latino elected officials who were elected statewide or who served on certain state governing boards were

classified as “State Executives.” Starting with the 2001 Directory, “State Officials” replaced the category of “State Executives,” and includes only those state officials who are elected statewide. As a result, the Public Regulation Commissioners of New Mexico who were formerly included in the category of “State Executives” in earlier Directories have now been included in the category of “Special District Officials,” and this reclassification should be taken into account when making comparisons between data in this Directory and those of previous years.

Additionally, the foregoing data pertain to the Latino elected officials who held office as of November 2017 (for Members of Congress and State Legislators) or as of January 2017 (for all other elected officials). As noted in the “Methodology” section on page iv of this Directory, these data should not be used to make statistical comparisons with data contained in previous editions of the NALEO Educational Fund’s National Roster of Hispanic Elected Officials.

aIn 2004, New York City replaced its community school boards with 32 community education councils, each governing a community school district. Members of the public elected representatives to the community school boards, and past Directories included those representatives as elected officials. Members of the new community education councils are selected by either officers of the community school district’s parent and parent-teacher associations; the borough president; or the community superintendent. Thus, we do not classify community education councilmembers as elected officials. The 2003 Directory included 31 Latino New York City community school board members. As a result of the replacement of the school boards with educational councils, the 2017 Directory does not include any Latinos serving in comparable elected office. This change should be taken into account when making comparisons between data in this Directory and those of previous years.
