Joe Latino deserves our support

Pueblo is a city that is facing significant challenges, but also great opportunities. We must have leaders who possess a deep understanding of our community and a wealth of experience to draw upon. Joe Latino, a proud native of Pueblo, is one such leader who is ready to take on the role of District 2 City Councilor, and he deserves our unwavering support.

Joe Latino's roots run deep in Pueblo, having been born and raised on Goat Hill and in the Belmont neighborhood. This gives him a unique perspective on the city's rich history, culture, and the issues that matter most to its residents. Joe's connection to Pueblo is genuine and unbreakable. He understands the heartbeat of this city like few others, and he is committed to preserving and enhancing the unique qualities that make Pueblo special.

In the field of education, Joe has witnessed firsthand the strategies and innovations that have improved educational outcomes for students in larger urban areas. He brings this knowledge to Pueblo, where our schools are central to the city's future. Joe's expertise will be invaluable in ensuring that Pueblo's children receive a world-class education and setting them up for success in an ever-changing world as well as being a key to Pueblo’s economic development efforts.

Joe has been actively involved in several civic organizations and boards for many years and showcases his passion for enhancing the quality of life in Pueblo. His knowledge of urban planning, revitalization, and community engagement can help Pueblo adapt to “big city” growth issues of crime, homelessness, drugs, and affordable housing while preserving its unique character and heritage.

Joe Latino is the right choice for Pueblo's City Council, and we wholeheartedly endorse him as the leader who will help shape our city's promising future. On Election Day, let's cast our votes for Joe Latino and take a step closer to the thriving Pueblo we all envision.
