Publication Type: Proceeding Abstract: This paper examines the electoral, ideological and institutional implications for Latino Minority-Majority Districts. Using data from state legislative districts in 20 states, the study finds that 1) Latinos are more likely to be elected from MMDs than non-MMDs, 2) that Latino Democratic legislators are more liberal than other legislators, including other Democrats, 3) MMDs increase the tenure of Latino legislators, 4) Latino MMDs create compact districts that are proximate to the median in each legislative chamber, and 5) tenure and proximity to the median chamber are positively associated with Latinos ability to hold legislative leadership positions.
