LUPE begins search for progressive candidate for District 15
McALLEN — La Union Del Pueblo Entero is taking a firmer stance in the political realm and is now seeking a progressive candidate to back in the race for Congressional District 15, which is being vacated by U.S. Rep. Vicente Gonzalez.
LUPE organizers announced the launch of LUPE Votes, a 501(c)4 nonprofit group through which the organizations can endorse political candidates.
The organization aims to build power for “working class people and marginalized South Texans that, for years, have been ignored by power-hungry politicians loyal to corporate interests,” Daniel Diaz, the director of organizing for LUPE, said.
LUPE itself is a 501(c)3 nonprofit legally restricted from participating in political activities, such as campaign or endorsing specific candidates.
