A report released by Hispanas Organized for Political Equality (HOPE) has revealed that, even though Latinas have made strides in political representation within New York State, there is still a lot of work to be done to combat disparity.
The study, which analyzed over 6,000 elected officials across various levels of government, underscored mixed success in achieving political and economic parity for Latinas. For example, even though Latinas hold 17% of City Council seats, they hold fewer than 1% of the 6,000 county, city, and town leadership among positions analyzed.
