Adventures of the Coconut Caucus

Grace Flores Napolitano was, until a few minutes ago, the fearless leader of the Caucus.

She was the only woman to support the new fearless leader, Joe Baca, who won his new post after a nasty inter-caucus alboroto,  which may lead to another blog: The adventures of the Mujeres on the verge of a nerveous breakdown Caucus.

About the photo, it is her with an influential somebody.

Place of Birth: Brownsville, Texas. After high school, she married and moved with her husband to California where they raised 5 children. (Obviously the perfect mujer Latina)

Childhood Trauma:  Let’s see, she grew up in Brownsville, enough said.

Sueño Americano:   To retire again, (retired from Ford) and now with a Congressional pension

 Random Quote:  “I am honored and delighted to welcome Sugar Shane Mosley to our nation’s capital.  Shane, I am impressed not only by your boxing victories, but more so because you are a true role model and family man,” Napolitano commented.

Claim to fame:  Dead last in the Congress Fantasy game. And to add insult to injury her press person felt the need to respond to why she is loosing in a video game.  

Was the First Latina to… be elected to city council of Norwalk City (Wherever that is)

Totally Random Factoid:  Won her first election in 1986 by 28 votes to Norwalk City Council.

Random Award: THE MEXICAN AMERICAN OPPORTUNITY FOUNDATION (MAOF) ANNUAL AZTEC AWARD

Legislation sponsored or cosponsored:  Sponsoring bills? Why bother with that legislative stuff? I say that because she is one of 2 members who hasn’t even sponsored a brigde to their name. 

And yeah, the voting record
