NEWBURGH – The fastest growing population across the nation is Latino and with that said, one area organization wants to recruit more Hispanics to run for public office.
Latino Democratic Committee of Orange County Coordinator Sonia Ayala said the move is on to attract candidates.
“We are going to be reaching out to recruit qualified Latinos to run for office and train them and discuss the issues that are affecting the community, and it’s not just Latinos that it’s affecting, it’s affecting everybody,” she said.
Ayala said there needs to be more diversity in local governments in the region.
