Under RILPAC's Endorsement Review process, candidates were asked
to submit responses to a questionnaire regarding health care, education,
housing and other issues that affect the Latino community. In addition,
every candidate who submitted a questionnaire was asked to participate
in an interview with the RILPAC membership. Members voted to
support those candidates who they feel will best represent and address
the interests of the Latino and urban community.
RILPAC is a nonpartisan political action committee. RILPAC's goals are
two-fold:
A. to endorse candidates who support issues benefiting Latinos and
other individuals from urban communities while raising awareness on
issues and/or candidates that could adversely impact the Latino
community; and B. to ensure that elected officials, political leaders and
candidates have a broad understanding of the concerns and priorities
among Rhode Island Latinos.
