Well not quite. But I just got this e-mail from La Puente Mayor Louie Lujan. He can add secretary of the Hispanic Elected Local Officials to his resumé:
Orlando, Fla., Nov. 13, 2008 - Bridgeport, Conn., Council Member Carlos Silva was elected the 2009 president of the Hispanic Elected Local Officials (HELO) constituency group during the annual membership meeting at the National League of Cities' (NLC) Congress of Cities.
Silva was elected to the Bridgeport City Council in 2003 and to the Town Committee in 2004. He is a member of the Black and Hispanic Caucus, Latinos for Action in Bridgeport, and the National Association of Latino Elected Officials (NALEO).
