Page "Joe Baca" Paragraph 18

According to the Los Angeles Times, Baca, chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, directed Caucus funds from its PAC BOLDPAC ( Building Our Leadership Diversity ) to the unsuccessful California campaigns of his sons, Joe Baca, Jr. and Jeremy Baca.

At the time, Rep. Loretta Sanchez ( D-CA ) and five other members dropped out of the PAC in protest of these actions.

They alleged that the funds, meant to elect Hispanic candidates, should not have been used to help Baca's sons run against Hispanic candidates and that in a previous race funded by the PAC, Joe Jr. had run against Hispanic candidates.
