WASHINGTON, D.C. - California Secretary of State Alex Padilla, a co-chair of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) Educational Fund’s National Latino Census Commission, will participate in the Latino State of Census 2020 briefing on May 22, 2019 from 11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. ET at the National Press Club in Washington D.C.

During the briefing, the National Latino Commission on Census 2020 will release a new report outlining the state of Census 2020 for Latinos and its findings and recommendations for how Congress, the U.S. Census Bureau and the Administration can act now to ensure that the Latino community is fully counted.

NALEO Educational Fund established the National Latino Commission on Census 2020 with nine prominent Commissioners (as well as one Guest Commissioner) from different regions of the country to compile crucial information and seek the best recommendations about the 2020 Census.  The Commission held five hearings across the nation (Cleveland, Los Angeles, New York City, Orlando and San Antonio), taking testimony from deeply knowledgeable panelists and other experts from the front lines.
