Candelaria Named Deputy House Speaker

To my Latino brothers and sisters.Just as we African Americans have Judas Goat leaders,You to have Latino Judas Goat Leaders who are selling you out. The Democratic Party thinks you LATINOS ARE SANGANOS.The Democratic Party has ignored and invisibilized your community for decades. Now they give you a bone. Just like African American elected officials are married to the Democratic Party because of the perks they consume.The same is for Latino elected officials. You must get the spirit of Jose Coll y Cuchi and Pedro Albizu Campos to form a Latino Nationalist Party.In fact The Puerto Rican Nationalist Party was founded on September 17, 1922 by Jose Coll y Cuchi and Pedro Albizu Campos.You must break a way from the White control male Democratic and Repulican Parties and form your own party.

My bad I forgot.The Puerto Rican Malcolm X

3/5's I have to agree with you. Blindly elected by a handful of people and no significant challenger in years. I have never had a coherent conversation with our representative. Maybe it was me?

At least after a significant time in the legislature, a deputy speaker position comes with an additional stipend/salary that should balance the many many hours spent at the capital working very very long hours representing.

Candelaria is simply unimpressive. Have tried talking to him about issues and no one seems to be home! As for this being a source of pride for the Latino community??? don't think so. No one cares and few will notice. He hasn't done much in all the years he's been in the Legislature. Has many bills has be sponsored -- not co-sponsored (jumped on the bandwagon)? Has Candelaria sponsored any bills on his own that really benefit working families and low-income people?

UBHolden - thank you for verifying my experience of the new deputy speaker. I thought it maybe it was just me. "Unimpressive" is a kind description. Thank you for your insight.

As some may know, I was head over heels for One City Henry Fernandez. I wonder if he would consider a run for Candelaria's seat? Competition is good. I think Henry is still around in Fair Haven, which is Candelaria's district. Hmmm. Oh possibilities!!
