When the giant Berryessa Flea Market in San Jose announced that it would close and become a housing development, Miguel Olivo worried its Latino vendors might be left out in the cold, without relocation assistance of any sort.
“We were upset,” said Olivo, an accountant and member of the local Hispanic chamber of commerce. “But we realized we really didn’t have the means to act politically on their behalf.”
About two years later, he and a few other chamber members have turned their frustration into action. They have started the Hispanic Political Action Committee of Silicon Valley, which will debut with a fundraising luncheon Friday in San Jose. State Senate Majority Leader Gloria Romero, D-Los Angeles, and Sen. Jeff Denham, R-Modesto, will speak on the state of Latino political power in California.”*
