TODAY IS ELECTION DAY

Why Vote?
 
Voting gives you the power to create positive change for your community and determine a better quality of life for you and your family. Voting together with your neighbors, family, and friends ensures that your shared values and issues are prioritized and that you play a key role in choosing who represents us, and where government funding and resources will go. The more we vote, the more powerful our voices become, and the issues that are important to us will be heard.

Our community has, historically, been one of the communities with the lowest voter registration and voter turnout rates. In recent years, this has changed, and we are quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with at the ballot box. So, join the rest of our community and exercise your important right to vote!
 
Top 5 Reasons to Vote
 
  1. Elections Impact Your Everyday Life and Family
  2. Every Vote Counts
  3. Decide Where Your Tax Dollars Go
  4. Fight Against Racism and Discrimination
  5. Protect Our Voting Rights

Voting polls will remain open until 7:00 P.M. If you are in line to vote by 7:00, you will still be permitted to cast your vote.

Jacqueline Camacho-Ruiz: A “Pilotina” & More

In today’s episode of Latino Business Report, we sit down for a candid conversation with Jacqueline Camacho-Ruiz, a visionary social entrepreneur who has built an inspiring enterprise. Her unwavering commitment to service, combined with a powerful vision for positive impact, has driven her to create not one, but two award-winning companies and establish two nonprofit organizations.

Born in Mexico City, Jacqueline S. Ruiz embarked on a remarkable journey when she moved to the United States at the age of 14. There, she quickly mastered both English and German. But it wasn’t just languages that captivated her—she also devoured literature from influential authors like Dale Carnegie, Zig Ziglar, and Napoleon Hill. Their wisdom would later shape her path.
