For Latinos in Oregon and across the country, this is a month of recognition, celebration, and reflection. We recognize the struggles and contributions of our community. We celebrate our ancestry and rich cultures. And we reflect on the sacrifices Latinos have made throughout history. “Oregon’s Sixth District is home to the largest Latino population in our state – a fact I’m tremendously proud of. Across our community, Latinos are starting families, opening businesses, and putting down roots, bringing with them a strong work ethic and incredible breadth of talents that will help our state and our society flourish. “Yet for all our success, there is still so much work to be done to move our community forward. We must break down barriers to education, health care, and housing. We must level the economic playing field for Latino workers and entrepreneurs. We must finally create a path to citizenship for Dreamers and other immigrants who contribute so much to this country’s success. And to achieve that and more, we must elect more Latinos to public office and encourage the next generation to get involved. Because Latinos deserve to have their voices heard wherever decisions are made. Not just today, not just this month, but every single day of the year.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:37:48Z |
