“Frank Rodriguez, a labor activist and the first Hispanic elected to the Minnesota House, died Friday after suffering a heart attack, his grandson said. He was 86.
Known as Poncho or Ponch to his close friends, Rodriguez lived most of his life on the West Side of St. Paul, where he was well-known for his work on behalf of Hispanics and for his pioneering election to the House in 1979.”
