Our Impact
In 2015, a group of Houstonians formed the Latino Texas PAC to provide a platform for electing and engaging the next generation of leaders in Texas politics.
Since then, our collective efforts have given way to an organization that belongs to each of us, and which amplifies our individual voices and power.

Events
We organize and co-sponsor events, such as membership meetings, meet-and-greet with candidates, town halls, and our annual holiday party. These events serve as the foundation for advancing our mission of engaging and preparing the next generation of Latino leaders.
Block Walking
We continuously volunteer hours dedicated to block walking, phone banking, and raising money for our endorsed candidates. We also canvass underserved and Latino neighborhoods that often go unnoticed.
Fundraising
We have been successful in providing critical seed financial capital to first-time candidates, help elect community champions, and engage Latinos through our candidates’ campaigns.
