Republicanos incluyen senadora hispana Anitere Flores entre futuros talentos

Washington, 15 ene (EFEUSA).- El Partido Republicano incluyó hoy a la senadora estatal por Florida, la hispana Anitere Flores, como una de sus "Estrellas en ascenso", un programa con el que los conservadores pretenden subrayar "la diversidad y el talento" dentro de sus filas.

Durante su reunión que estos días se celebra en San Diego (California), el Comité Nacional Republicano (RNC, en inglés) eligió a Flores, con una prolongada carrera política dentro de Florida, como uno de los rostros del futuro del partido a nivel nacional.

Volcada en la educación desde hace años y tras servir en la Cámara de Representantes estatal durante seis, la actual senadora también trabaja con diversas asociaciones educativas del país para promover un mayor acceso a la educación superior.

Meet The Group Getting Latino Republicans Elected In California — With The Southwest Up Next

In the state of California, more than 90 Latino Republicans have been in elected — in just the last two years. 

And there’s a group behind this eye-popping statistic, working to diversify the Republican Party one local and municipal election at a time in California. “What we’re trying to do with GROW Elect is create a party where Hispanics can see themselves — where they actually see themselves — not as a community that can be outreached to, but as voters and citizens that are included,” said Ruben Barrales, the group’s CEO and a George W. Bush administration veteran.

RNC Launches Pennsylvania Hispanic Advisory Council

Today, the Republican National Committee (RNC) and the Republican Party of Pennsylvania (PAGOP) launched the Pennsylvania Hispanic Advisory Council to strengthen ties with the Hispanic community and expand engagement efforts across the state.
 

State advisory councils are part of the RNC’s unprecedented commitment to engage Hispanic voters year-round to build a permanent foundation for future campaigns at the state and local levels. Council members will lend their expertise in developing better, more effective engagement strategies between the RNC, the state party, county parties and communities across the state. The Pennsylvania Hispanic Advisory Council will complement the work of the RNC and our National Advisory Council.

“The Republican Party is working to build genuine and permanent relationships with Hispanics across Pennsylvania, and our state advisory council will help make that a reality,” said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus. “Each council member is a leader in their own community and brings a unique perspective, and I look forward to working with them to grow the Republican Party in their communities.”

“The Republican Party is excited to be showcasing our shared values of individual freedom and economic opportunity with Pennsylvania’s Hispanic community,” said PA GOP Chairman Rob Gleason. “Our Hispanic Advisory Council is the latest step in celebrating the growing role of the Hispanic community in the Republican Party.”

The Sexist Sidelining of Susana Martinez

Yesterday, the ultra-liberal magazine Mother Jones published a piece by Andy Kroll that seeks to not only question the credibility of Gov. Susana Martinez of New Mexico, a Republican, but also frame her as being “nasty, juvenile, and vindictive.” Using secretly recorded private conversations and e-mails with advisors and staff, Kroll aims to link Martinez to Sarah Palin and show that she is foul-mouthed and “petty.”
