“As the Latino community continues to significantly grow in Georgia, the effort to activate and engage the Latino electorate is critical. Jerry Gonzalez has been spearheading this work for over 15 years and as a result, Georgia has experienced a significant increase in Latino voter turnout and in the number of Latino elected officials. On behalf of GALEO’s Board of Directors, we congratulate Jerry for being recognized as one of Georgia’s 100 Most Influential Georgians. We are excited and proud to have Jerry’s contributions to the state once again recognized by Georgia Trend Magazine.
