The Legislature felt so strongly about the dangers of conversion therapy that, with bipartisan support, they passed House Bill 19-1129, prohibiting conversion therapy for minors in Colorado.

Cada año, aproximadamente 1,4 millones de hispanos se vuelven elegibles para votar. Además, el electorado latino es más joven que el promedio nacional: su edad promedio es de unos 37 años, casi una década menos que la del conjunto del país.

One in 10 eligible voters in the US is a naturalized citizen. In recent years, Hispanic adults have made up the largest share (34%) of that population. More than half of naturalized citizen voters live in four states: California, Florida, New York, and Texas. Together, these states hold roughly a third of the US electorate. 

These facts show where many Latino families live, work, organize, and vote. But each household has its own story: a bus driver, a teacher, a small-business owner, or a college student. Each ballot represents those daily lives.

Independent agencies are key to maintaining stability during transitions between administrations. Their employees possess critical institutional knowledge that benefits the American people. Additionally, the independence of federal agencies provides an important check on presidential power. 

Since the second Trump Administration began, an estimated 199,000 civil servants have left the federal workforce. This has had a major impact on independent agencies, or government agencies that are within the executive branch, but whose leadership cannot be removed at will by the president, unlike cabinet secretaries.
