LAS VEGAS — The Nevada Hispanic Legislative Caucus is building a coalition of community organizers, medical professionals, and strategic leaders to work together and share critical information from the local, state, and federal government.
Edgar Flores, Chair of the Nevada Hispanic Legislative Caucus, said, “Our community is powerful, resourceful and resilient. We will make sure our community is well informed about COVID-19 and the changing landscape.
