State Rep. Clarice Navarro of Pueblo will again have a role in the Donald Trump’s political universe next month.

Navarro is on the host committee for the Jan, 19 inaugural ball a few blocks from the U.S. Capitol in Washington at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. The black-tie affair aims to showcase U.S. Latino culture.

“Our inaugural celebration is expected to attract 600 attendees representing the Who’s Who of political, policy, business, and community leaders,” the host committee said. “The event will offer high-ranking networking with of?cials from the incoming administration as well as thought leaders and in?uencers.”

Tickets are $200 each.

“I’m excited to ring in a new year with a new administration,” Navarro said, after I texted her about the news Thursday.  “I’m just a Southern Colorado girl that gets to be a part of this distinguished host committee.

“Each and every one of us on the host committee are ready to do what we can to assist the Trump Team  ‘Make America Great Again,’ but this will be a special evening to celebrate the hard work that so many took part in to make this awesome victory happen.

When Trump was struggling to connect with Latino voters in August, Navarro was one of the leaders summoned to Trump Tower for help.

She also penned an op-ed column in USA Today to make his case to Latino voters.

Navarro wrote:

Latino voters are American voters. They want the laws followed, a safe America and a future of hope. While we may not have loved the delivery of some of Mr. Trump’s comments, his vision for “making America great again” is what matters.
