We want to express our gratitude to Diana Maldonado for her leadership at Jolt. As we move forward, Jolt remains dedicated to building the political power of young Latinos in Texas. In her time as our fearless leader, Jolt was proud to expand our network, successfully unionize our workforce, and surpass 20,000 voter registrations this year. Thank you Diana for being part of this legacy —empowering Latino voices and ensuring the importance of being both registered and informed voters! #GraciasDiana Jolt will continue to lead efforts as we plan for the upcoming legislative session and ensure our student chapters are equipped to make an impact. Be sure to stay tuned for future news! #JoltTheVote
