Walter Tejada is chairman of the Arlington County, Virginia Board [1]. He's also a former leader of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC). And, back on June 26 at the convention of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) he was presented with the Ohtli Award, given by the country of Mexico to elected officials in the U.S. who, not to put too fine a point on it, advance that country's agenda [2]. More on the award here; more on Tejada here, here, and here.
Note that both Barack Obama and John McCain spoke at the same convention, and readers are urged to ask both of them whether they have any qualms about appearing at events where awards like that are given out.
