Since 1998, the Rhode Island Latino Political Action Committee (RILPAC) has been interviewing and endorsing candidates for public office in Rhode Island. As the largest Latino political organization in the state, our endorsements are significant, and much sought-after by candidates for municipal and state-wide office. As the Latino communities grow, so does the need for RILPAC’s participation, so that all Latino voters — and our friends in other communities — will know which candidates best serve Latino interests.
Endorsement Process • All municipal and state-wide contests will be evaluated to determine appropriateness for consideration within the RILPAC endorsement process. • Candidates seeking office within the selected races will receive a RILPAC endorsement questionnaire. • Candidates that submit the RILPAC questionnaire will be scheduled for an interview with the RILPAC membership. • Candidates will be evaluated on their responses to the questions on the questionnaire and by their responses in their interview. • The RILPAC membership will reach decisions by consensus and communicate its decisions to the candidates and to the press.
