California lawmakers and actor Wilmer Valderrama were on Capitol Hill Wednesday to unveil their new census campaign urging Latinos to fill out the government form.
 
Maria Teresa Kumar, executive director and co-founder of Voto Latino, was also on hand for the press briefing in the Rayburn building. Reps. Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.), Michael Honda (D-Calif.), Judy Chu (D-Calif.) were all in attendance.

Latinos were one of the most underrepresented groups in the last census.
