Dear League of Women Voters of Houston Family,
I am honored and humbled to serve as the first Latina President of the League of Women Voters of Houston, a dream come true! I have been involved with the LWVH since 2007. I started as a volunteer at the Naturalization Ceremonies, registering newly Naturalized Citizens to vote and helping them achieve the American Dream.
For over 20 years, I have focused on advocacy for non-profit organizations and under-resourced communities as well as raising awareness for social concerns through education, naturalization, census, and voting. For nearly three years, I served as the District Director for the 29th Congressional District of the U.S. House of Representatives for one of the first Latina’s to ever represent the State of Texas. I also worked as the Southwest Regional and Texas State Director with the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) Educational Fund for over a decade.
I am excited to continue to work hand in hand with the Board of Directors, Executive Director, Membership and Volunteers to empower voters by meeting them where they are! Expanding our outreach in the underserved and under-resourced communities is essential to building the trust that allows us to demonstrate that the League's support can be counted on day in and day out. To achieve these goals, we are looking to continue to grow our membership programs by offering more opportunities for members to engage and participate. It is inspiring to see how the community relies so heavily on the League of Women Voters, and our reputation for providing reliable and nonpartisan voting information is our most valuable asset as well as our biggest responsibility.
¡Es un honor ser parte de la Familia de League of Women Voters of Houston!
¡Muchas Gracias y Adelante!
Claudia Ortega Hogue
