ENDORSEMENTS

LAPA endorses political candidates based on whom the general membership deems to be the most qualified candidate to represent the values and mission of the organization. Candidates for endorsement must demonstrate the greatest ability to promote benefits for the Hispanic community in line with the mission of LAPA as well as all San Diegans. A fifty percent (50%) plus one (1) vote of the members present who are active and in good standing is required to gain an endorsement.
