Founded in 2015, the Latino Political Network was created to educate and empower Iowa’s next generation of Latinx elected officials. Although more than 185,000 Latinx Americans call Iowa home, the state has only 23 Latinx elected officials out of over 7,500 elected offices. Since its start, LPN has maintained a commitment to empowering Latinos to build a campaign.
