Aiming to increase representation at all levels of politics

Patricia Campos-Medina of Latina Civic Action is spearheading an effort called Latinas: Building the Bench, an effort to stock the political pool with qualified, eager Latinas. The year-long program is aimed at bringing together Latinas across New Jersey to develop the next generation of Latina office-holders. Starting next month, the organizers will hold networking events in all 21 counties.
