President's Message

Ed Cervantes
Welcome to LAPA.
It is a great honor to lead and represent such a professional organization with such a history in San Diego County.

For almost 50 years LAPA, a non-partisan political organization, has been on a mission to ensure issues important to the Latino community, their families and businesses are represented in all levels of government.  We promote leadership and unity within the Latino community and promote and increase Latino participation in the political process and representation in all forms of government. 

Our 
members come from all walks of life and political parties. 

With Covid behind us, it’s time to get back to LAPA business. A lot has happened the past couple of years; a border crisis, fentanyl overdoses, defunding the Police,
crime, education concerns, inflation, the war in Ukraine and most recently, the collapse of a bank in the Silicon Valley are all cause for concern. What can we do about it?

It’s for these reasons that LAPA exists today! We need to continue to involve ourselves in the political process to get the right people in office to help address these issues. With the 2024 elections around the corner, LAPA will soon be sought out for endorsements. So, let’s do our
part and be ready.

Our 2023 LAPA Board was recently installed and brings a wide range of experience, to include past and current Elected Officials. The Board is motivated and eager to get back to our in-person meetings.

I welcome you to come join us and become a part of this unique and storied team as we engage, educate and edify our communities.
​
​Bienvenidos!
