Luis Fortuño

 

In just two years since this dynamic Latino became Puerto Rico’s Representative to the U.S. Congress, he has proven his leadership abilities.   A rising star in the National Republican Party, he has fought for and protected 20,000 jobs in Puerto Rico, preserved historic sites, and authored legislation that established “El Yunque” as the only tropical rainforest wilderness in the national forest system.  He is clear on his mission and the role of Latinos in the U.S.

In Congress, does the fact that you are Latino impact your decisions?
Absolutely. I feel a moral obligation to my community – whether Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, or any other group.  I believe everyone should have a chance to have the American dream.

 

Why politics?
I am a strong believer that you can achieve your goals through community based involvement.   I also realize that our political system only recognizes those who stand up, participate, and are counted.

 

It’s so tough for Latinos in the U.S.   Where do you get your confidence to reach for our goals?

First and foremost my faith. along with my family and understanding that if you work hard enough, you will achieve your dreams.

 

How do you see Latinos impacting the future of the U.S.?
I believe that similar to other migratory waves, Latinos will impact our society for the better in every possible way.  However, we will do so while continuing to share the same values that make this country great.

 

What do you think is the Latino American Lifestyle?

It’s modern, but at the same time rooted in our values that highlight family, our work ethic, and our faith in God.
