Outstanding Achievers in the 2025 Latino Community
New York's Latino Trailblazers Paving the Way for Political Breakthrough
New York is witnessing a surge of Hispanic leaders making their mark in various sectors, with the potential for a significant political breakthrough in the near future. The Latino Trailblazers list, a collaboration between City & State and journalist Yunior Rivas, highlights some of these rising stars.
The list includes prominent Hispanic leaders in sectors such as health care, academia, organized labor, philanthropy, construction, affordable housing, and startups. Some of these leaders are carrying out essential functions at top financial institutions, trade associations, and lobbying shops.
Among the trailblazers are state senators Jessica Ramos and Zellnor Myrie, both of Hispanic heritage, who ran for New York City mayor but failed to gain traction. However, their campaigns served as a testament to the growing political ambition within the Latino community.
Antonio Delgado, the Afro-Latino lieutenant governor of New York, is challenging Gov. Kathy Hochul, indicating a strong desire for representation from the Latino community. Delgado's campaign could mark a significant step towards a political breakthrough.
The list may showcase leaders who are challenging for positions such as governor's lieutenant or speaker of the New York City Council. In the coming year, the only potential for a Latino to secure a statewide or citywide elected office may be through a new gubernatorial running mate or winning the insider battle for speaker of the New York City Council.
The 2025 Latino Trailblazers list by City & State New York includes influential figures such as Amanda Farías, the first Latina majority leader of the New York City Council, Joanne Fernandez, director of U.S. government affairs at Corning Inc., and Maria Fernandez, deputy secretary for education in the Hochul administration. These leaders have already achieved significant political breakthroughs and are likely to continue shaping policy and leadership in New York due to their prominent roles and advocacy for Latino communities.
While the path to political breakthrough may be long, the Latino Trailblazers list offers a glimpse of the promising leaders who could potentially secure a statewide or citywide elected office in the future. The list could potentially reveal leaders who are prominent in sectors not previously mentioned, and it could potentially showcase leaders who have gained significant traction in their respective fields.
As the Latino community continues to make its presence felt in various sectors, the prospect of a political breakthrough in New York remains a compelling narrative. The Latino Trailblazers list serves as a testament to the determination and potential of the Latino community in shaping the future of New York.
