Arlington County Board Member J. Walter Tejada was included in post-election news on newly elected Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. The Washington Dateline noted that Tejada “is the lone member of an exclusive club -- the only Hispanic elected official in a state where more than 5 percent of the population is Latino.” Walter declared that “I did not set out to enter politics. The road for me was activism … in leadership development, citizenship [drives], voter registration.”
