State Rep. Pedro "Pete" Marin, the highest ranking Latino Democrat in Georgia, was invited by United States Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Chairman of the Hispanic Task Force, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), along with other Latino state and local elected officials, to discuss economic challenges Latino communities throughout the country are facing.
Senate Assistant Majority Leader Dick Durbin (D-IL), Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), Senator Jack Reed (D-RI), Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Senator Michael Bennett (D-CO), and Senator Benjamin Cardin (D-MD) also participated in the meeting. This forum served as an opportunity for leaders at the national and state levels to express their concerns and ideas to ensure ongoing job creation and economic recovery efforts that can successfully provide relief to Latino communities across the nation.
"I enjoyed the opportunity to dialogue with federal, state and local leaders about establishing sound public policy to improve our economy and get all Americans working again. If Georgia and the United States intend to increase its capacity to compete within a 21st century global economy we have to get serious about investment, education, workforce development, establishing new markets and supporting entrepreneurs. I am committed to using my position on a state and national stage to improve the lives of those who live in my district and the state," said the four-term legislator from Gwinnett County.
"Hopefully, there will be more opportunities to further engage business leaders, educators and others who are the backbone of our economy," indicated Rep. Marin.
