The Latino Caucus was created 50 years ago to identify, promote and advocate on behalf of the professional, educational, social, political and cultural interests of the Latino community.

The Members of the California Latino Legislative Caucus hold various leadership positions in the Legislature, including Chairs/Vice Chairs of legislative standing committees and leadership appointments in both houses.

It is a priority of the Latino Caucus to ensure every student in California has the necessary support and resources to succeed academically.

Each year the Latino Caucus honors the achievements of leaders in our community who are representative of the Latino experience and who exhibit a true Latino spirit.
