WASHINGTON, DC – The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO)
issued the following statement regarding U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s remarks
questioning Latino membership in the Republican Party:

“Latinos are as diverse in their political views as everyone else living in this great nation, and are not necessarily identified solely with one political party. The community strives to be full participants in the American political process, regardless of political affiliation.

NALEO appreciates the importance and enormous value of Latinos participating in all political parties.”
