La Politica becomes Candidato USA After Legal Challenge
An electronic trade publication has announced that the name Candidato USA will replace La Politica, which covered the business of political marketing to Hispanics.
The publication also analyzes issues of education, health care, housing, foreign policy and free trade as they affect Hispanic voters in the United States.
Confronted with a legal challenge over its name by the publishers of Politico, owned by DC-based Allbritton Communications, LLC, the founders of La Politica faced the prospect of protracted litigation. They opted to avoid confrontation by launching under the new name and vowing to continue producing high quality content.
"Hispanic voters have distinct political interests and value systems from the rest of the electorate," said Luis Clemens, editor of Candidato USA. "We will continue to report on the attempts by the campaigns to navigate these complex waters and reach out to Latinos."
