HuffPost List of ‘Most Influential Latinos’ Includes Someone Who Isn’t Latino

Note to Huffington Post: next time you’re compiling a list of “40 Under 40: Latinos in American Politics,” make sure that everyone on the list is actually Latino.

According to Huffington Post, Sarah Isgur Flores is “one of the most influential Latinas you might not have heard of. The Harvard Law School grad and former Deputy Communications Director at the RNC has been an instrumental behind-the-scenes figure for Carly Fiorina. Now the Deputy Campaign Manager, Isgur Flores previously was the Communications Director for Fiorina’s Unlocking Potential Project and has also worked for Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign.”

It’s a pretty accurate bio, except for, uh, one minor detail:

Very flattering…Flores is my married name. For those curious, mom’s Irish and dad’s side is Russian. http://t.co/TfLmyNz05X
