Houston’s First Latino Mayor

We will interview Houston’s First Latino mayor on our radio show. Now, we just have to find him or her, and we have to profoundly explore the Latino experience locally, nationally, and internationally.

Houston, Texas is a fascinating example of the current situation for our community.

Latinos are over 44% of Houston’s population, yet only 1 of 16 City Council representatives is Latino, but let’s get something straight. Latinos did vote in the last Houston Mayoral election.. That translated into a big boost for incumbent Mayor Turner but not into additional city council seats.

Latino News and Politics will explore why that is the case, and we will also break through the stereotypes and myths that predominate news and politics, and we will also interview candidates to find out how they have tailored their platforms to for our community as they compete for posts up and down the ballot, across Houston, across Texas, across the Southwest.
