HOPE-PAC
Our Mission
HOPE Political Action Committee is the state’s only political network that raises campaign contributions specifically to assist Latinas running for public office. It is a nonpartisan organization committed to promoting and increasing the active participation of Latinas to elective office at the local and state level, on public and private policy-making boards and commissions, and in all aspect of the political process.
How We Support Latinas
HOPE Political Action Committee endorses and contributes to Latina candidates who work toward creating effective public policies that empower Latinas, their families and their communities throughout the state of California. HOPE Political Action Committee raises money to help make Latinas credible contenders in a political campaign. It provides essential dollars at the beginning of a campaign when financial support is critical, particularly in a first run for office. Our underlying principle is to invest our dollars to truly make a difference in a Latina’s campaign.
Our Plans for the Future
Goals for the 2009 calendar year include our primary purpose to actively support Latina candidates running for office and/or seeking appointments to policy-making boards and commissions.
In addition, the HOPE Political Action Committee will work to:
1. More actively market HOPE Political Action Committee to provide more visibility for the organization and its activities among new constituencies as well as old friends;
2. Establish HOPE Political Action Committee as a membership organization so individuals can contribute and strengthen the organization’s ability to support Latinas;
3. Establish a closer working relationship with Latina elected officials to support our efforts;
4. Establish a formal relationship with the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) to train Latina candidates and policy makers;
5. Motivate its members to assist as volunteers on Latina candidates’ campaigns and mobilize women voters to vote on HOPE Political Action Committee candidates on election day;
6. Through special seminars geared towards candidates, help women strategize and organize strong winning campaigns.
