Professor David Hayes-Bautista takes a moment with California Senator Ben Hueso, who is Chair of the Latino Caucus and a UCLA alumnus, during a recent presentation on Cinco de Mayo.
UCLA Professor David Hayes-Bautista is becoming a bit of a regular up in Sacramento these last two months, lending his unique expertise to legislators regarding the Latino experience in California and the country as a whole.
Hayes-Bautista is the director of the Center for the Study of Latino Health and Culture at the UCLA School of Medicine. In March, he visited several freshmen legislators for a briefing on a new book he just published, “La Nueva California: Latinos from Pioneers to Post-Millennials”.
He visited with Assemblymembers Sabrina Cervantes and Freddie Rodriguez, along with staff members of Assemblymembers Raul Bocanegra, Anthony Rendon, Blanca Rubio, Sharon Quirk-Silva, Monica Limón and Senator Ricardo Lara.
