As you are aware, the random drawing to select the first eight commissioners resulted in zero Latinos
being selected.
In a state where Latinos comprise nearly 40 percent of the total population and nearly one third of its
citizen voting age population, a lack of Latino representation on the Commission would be unacceptable.
Fortunately, you have the power, and the legal obligation, to rectify the dramatic underrepresentation of
Latinos when you make your determinations regarding the final six commissioners.
