Introductory Post

Hi everybody! I'm going to start off this blog by linking you all to this article from The Daily Texan about the Democratic party's efforts to organize Hispanic voters in Texas. I think the article is noteworthy in that it brings up a somewhat untapped group of voters--who are known for mostly voting Democratic, but given their religious beliefs could potentially become Republican advocates. It's a big deal because Hispanics in Texas are growing in number, and soon won't fall under the "minority" category. The article talks about a political action committee (or PAC) that's trying to engage Hispanic voters by focusing on trying to put Hispanics in Texas legislature, which is pretty great, in my opinion.
