Pineda Consulting » The First Latino Big City Mayor: Raymond Telles

Thanks for the tip Andre. I didn’t know this.

“Daniel Hernandez has a story in the LA Times today called “Villaraigosa Aims to Make Most of “Latino Mayor’ Role.” In it, Hernandez repeats the frequent mistake of calling Henry Cisneros the first Latino mayor of a U.S. big city. That honor actually belongs to Raymond Telles, who was elected Mayor of El Paso in 1957.”
