Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes Named Among
Top 50 Most Influential Latino American Republicans

 

Utah Attorney General ranked with Republican Latino American presidential candidates U.S. Senators Cruz and Rubio, and New Mexico’s Governor Susana Martinez
 

SALT LAKE CITY—As the 2016 presidential election heats up, the prominence of Latino Americans as both a major constituency and in business and political leadership roles is on the rise. An estimated 13 million Latino-American votes will be up for the taking in November. Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes, a Spanish speaker, whose father is Spanish and Filipino, was recently ranked twenty-first on Newsmax’s national list of Top 50 Most Influential Latino American Republicans.

            “When I heard I was ranked twenty-first, I asked my team if it was a Top 20 list,” joked Attorney General Reyes.

            “I am humbled to be included in the company of such luminaries and leaders from the Latino Community and my party, several of whom are friends and mentors,” he added on a more serious note. “As someone raised with a diverse cultural heritage, I have a very personal understanding of the positive influence Latino Americans bring economically, spiritually, athletically, artistically and politically to communities across the country, including many cities and towns in Utah. To be named to this list is an incredible honor.”

            In early 2015, Reyes was named as one of four Rising Stars by the Republican National Committee. Under his leadership, his office was honored by the prestigious Daniels Fund for ethics in government. The Reyes administration also won four Utah Best of State awards and the grand prize in the Public Sector category for restoring trust, honor and excellence to the office.

            Newsmax’s list of the Top 50 Most Influential Latino American Republicans includes state governors, representatives, mayors, business community leaders, pundits and commentators.

This year, Utah Attorney General will have run four campaigns cycles in five years, the most of any U.S. public official. This unprecedented process requires an enormous amount of resources. In a little over two years of service, his team has made significant and positive changes to the AG office by focusing on integrity, hard work and excellence in the courtroom; morale in the office is vastly improved and public trust is being restored.
