The Putting People First PAC is on a mission to empower Latina and Latino communities by increasing representation and inclusivity in politics.
To advance a more inclusive political landscape, Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia established the Putting People First PAC.
Through education, advocacy, and coalition-building, we work to create a more just and equitable society for all. By supporting the political engagement and leadership of Latina and Latino individuals, we aim to build a stronger and more inclusive democracy that reflects the diversity of our nation.
