The National Hispanic Caucus of State Legislators (NHCSL) is a Washington, DC-based political organization that functions as a national association for Hispanic state legislators. Founded in 1989 as a nonpartisan nonprofit 501(c)(3), it focuses on developing policies and procedures intended to improve the quality of life for Hispanics across the United States. The organization describes itself as the principal voice for the nation's Hispanic legislators, a group that exceeds 470 members. NHCSL operates within the political organizations sector and serves its members—the Hispanic state lawmakers—by shaping policy priorities at the state level. In 2026, it conducted its Spring Meeting in New York City with collaboration from public and private sector leaders. A leadership update that year included Sen. Cindy Nava being named Vice Chair of the Housing Task Force for the 2026-2027 term.
