SOUTHERN ARIZONA NATIVE LUIS HEREDIA NAMED EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ARIZONA DEMOCRATIC PARTY
TUCSON – The Pima County Democratic Party was thrilled to receive word late Wednesday that Luis Heredia has been selected to be the next Executive Director of our State Party. In Heredia, the ADP has found a combination of political and campaign expertise
that we are confident will help to ensure Democratic victories in Pima County and the State of Arizona as a whole.Having served as Senior Aide to Congressman Raúl M. Grijalva, Public Affairs Director for Union Pacific, and President of the Somerton Elementary School District Governing Board, Heredia has consistently demonstrated that he is not only an extremely capable operative, but a truly dedicated member of the community.
Congressman Grijalva stated, “Having worked with Luis, I know he’ll do a great job. I’m very happy for him.”
Pima County Democratic Party Chair Jeff Rogers said, “We’re particularly excited to have someone on board with such extensive field experience. Luis understands that Pima County must play a significant role in the 2010 election cycle if we are going to elect a Democratic Governor and Legislature.”
David Olvera, 2nd Vice Chair of the Pima County Democratic Party added, "As the Chairman of the Arizona Democratic Hispanic Caucus, we are proud to see one of our founding members appointed to this key position within the AZ State Democratic Party. Luis has years of experience in Arizona politics and his work at the grassroots level will bring invaluable insight to this position. We stand in full support of our new Executive Director.”
We would also like to thank Devin Rankin, who performed admirably these past months in her role as Interim Director. We are fortunate to have such a talented Finance Director, and we feel that Heredia and Rankin, along with the rest of the ADP staff will make a formidable team as we look towards the future.
