U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, today spoke with incoming president of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), Margaret Moran, and congratulated her on her recent election:
"I had the pleasure of speaking with my friend Margaret today and congratulating her on her recent election to serve as the President of LULAC. LULAC represents some of the most accomplished and motivated Latino leaders in the country, and Margaret is well prepared to sit at the helm of this powerful organization. As a Texan, she also brings a unique perspective to this national organization, with firsthand knowledge of the dynamic Hispanic population in Texas, the challenges they face, and the many contributions they make to our society, economy and culture.
"As the Hispanic population in the U.S. continues to grow at record speed, and Latinos take on new leadership roles in every facet of our society, from education and politics to health care and the financial industry, LULAC will play a critical role in representing these voices on the national stage. I look forward to a continued, positive working relationship with LULAC and its new president as we seek to build a more prosperous and secure future."
