“They are an integral part of the fabric of daily life here, they have the same hopes and dreams of a better future like everyone else, yet their presence among the movers and shakers in Rutherford County is conspicuously absent.

Like every other segment of the population, the county’s Hispanic community is booming. But look around and you will find few Hispanics in leadership roles. None hold an elected position, and there are no Hispanics among the 90-plus names on the Aug. 3 ballot.”
