Hey there — At NDTC, our mission is to equip Democrats with the tools to run for office, especially those who have been marginalized and traditionally excluded from positions of power.
So this Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re bringing you a special edition of our So You Want to Run for Office training alongside our partners at Insituto, Latino Victory, and Pa’lante Georgia with a focus on the unique challenges and considerations for Hispanic and Latinx candidates.
Not only that, the training will kick off with a very special welcome and introduction from Secretary Julián Castro!
Hispanic and Latinx culture is at the core of American life.
But there’s still a great deal of work to be done in ensuring Hispanic and Latinx voices are heard, respected, and validated in our political system.
Despite the amazing strides of trailblazers, only 2% of elected officials in the U.S. identify as Latino.
By considering running for office, you’re taking the first step in creating lasting change in your community.
This special training includes resources for running along with collaborative, interactive discussions! Don’t miss it.
