The Chicago City Council Latino Caucus Demands More Latino Representation in Top City Leadership
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
December 23, 2023
CHICAGO – Yesterday, Mayor Brandon Johnson made three city leadership appointments. We are extremely disappointed that once again no Latinos were appointed.
Latinos account for nearly 33% of Chicago’s population. It is imperative that our voice is heard and that top city decision makers reflect the population of those they serve. As the Mayor continues to build out his cabinet, the Latino Caucus, the Chicago Latino Caucus Foundation Leadership Program, and local community leaders stand ready to assist in identifying the many talented Latino professionals within. We are hopeful we can work together with the administration to recommend Latinos for the remaining open positions.
