The Latino Coalition Hosting Hispanic Leaders Event at the RNC Convention

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Latino Coalition (TLC), the leading national non-partisan advocacy organization representing Hispanic businesses and consumers, will host the premier Latino event, “Honoring Hispanic Leaders,” on Wednesday, July 20 in Cleveland, OH during the Republican National Convention.

TLC’s event program will consist of a briefing entitled “Is it the Best of Times or the Worst of Times?” and an “Honoring Hispanic Leaders Luncheon“.  To date, the confirmed influential leaders and speakers include: former Presidential nominee New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Congressman Bill Flores (R-TX), Congressman Keith Rothfus (R-PA), Congressman Sean Duffy (R-WI), The Libre Initiative Executive DirectorDaniel Garza and key leadership from the Republican National Committee.

The exciting day will also include the release of the TLC Rising Latino Electorate: Latinos and the 2016 Elections poll – an on-going election-year study revealing how conservative Latinos are not a monolithic voting bloc.  The poll sampling confirms that the country’s growing Republican and Independent Hispanic population does not have an overwhelming favorable view of either presidential candidate, to date.  The complete poll findings will be released July 20 during the briefing.
