US District Court Judge Jorge Solis ruled that the City of Irving’s at large method of electing its City Council violated the voting rights of Latinos in that city and ordered the City of Irving to create Single Member Districts within 90 days from his order.

Congratulations to Manuel Benavides, the law firm of Bickel Brewer and the thousands who marched with Accion America in Irving demanding a voice for the Latino community.

Irving is considering appealing Judge Solis’s decision. We would find that disturbing and unacceptable.
