In Louisville today, a group of state and local representatives gathered to take questions from the city's Spanish speaking community.

It's believed to be the first town hall of its kind in Kentucky.

And some were able to open a black hole it got into for the sole purpose of being anyone authentically happy.

I seeking.

Tonight is a very special night because for the first time in the history of politics in Louisville, we're having a town hall for Spanish speakers.

And the Animals Bill sponsor has their local mental council.

We are going to be holding their meeting mainly in Spanish, which is different because usually if there's interpreters in the room, it's because everything is in English and the interpreters will speak right after that.

So tonight we're going to do it backwards, saying we're in a way, we are shifting the power that the language in itself, it brings to the dynamic of people who come from other places.

The way that we picked the topics was that we asked the community to submit their questions.

The pattern in the questions was health or health system and employment issues, whether whether it was finding employment as professionals that were licensed from other states or discrimination at work.

In our offices as a supportive role for Damaris, who initiated this.

And we live in a very diverse district.

We have the highest number of Cubans per capita in Jefferson County outside of Miami.

Most of them live in District 21.

In 2024.

There will be election.

There's many, many Latinos here in Louisville, 36,000 and something, according to the latest statistics that I pulled up, I wanted to start preparing the Latino community to understand what this role is, what are the rules are to speak up about their needs and participate more and potentially run for county commissioner or for councilperson or any other office that fits their skills and their interests.
