Puerto Ricans have the numbers to seize control of a 93-year-old civil rights group founded by Mexican Americans in Texas, but the organization could end up in a messy legal fight over it.
The League of Latin American Citizens, established in Corpus Christi in 1929, is holding its annual conference in San Juan, Puerto Rico, this week, the group's first in-person gathering and elections since 2019 because of Covid.
Dallas attorney Domingo García, who is Mexican American, could very well be defeated by his challenger, Juan Carlos Lizardi, a New York resident born in Puerto Rico and son of longtime board member and Puerto RicoA woman waves the flag of Puerto Rico during a news conference on Puerto Rican statehood on Capitol Hill on March 2, 2021.
David Contreras, a Houston LULAC 688 member and a group historian, said creating “paper councils” has been done in the organization for years. The paper councils are made up of people who pay the membership fee but have not been active in LULAC before signing up but can vote. There have been attempts to change that, as well as the requirement for voters to attend the conference, but so far those efforts have failed.While the prospects of a LULAC president of Puerto Rican descent is exciting to some members, the fast increase in councils has raised alarm bells and could once again throw the group's elections into dispute.
