Latinos have always been proud, educated and deserving people and now many are showing up and showing out, winning coveted positions throughout the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and State Legislatures. Here are 8 Latinos that won positions in the United States government.

Last night was incredible, and I have all of you to thank.

Have you met Tony's wife, Lauren? Here she is talking about how they met, what their values are, and why they are both fighting so hard to continue serving our community.

He is ready to listen and he will be honored to serve you in the Nebraska Legislature. Please, vote for Tony in the election on Tuesday, November 8th.
