Houston LULAC District 8 and the District 18 Redistricting Task Force Committee presented their position on city charter changes for 16 one-member districts, zero vacancies and a mayoral form of government.
“Only through responsive, equal representation proportional to the city of Houston’s Latino population in districts with only one member can Latinos be assured of parity for their tax dollars. This is achievable with key Latino leadership in local government to ensure the necessary representation that identifies with the unique challenges and opportunities of the Latino community,” said LULAC National President Domingo Garcia.
