Raymond L. Telles fue el primer Mexicano-Americano alcalde elegido de El Paso. Era conocido como un pionero en la política de El Paso , un amigo y asesor cercano del presidente John F. Kennedy y ex embajador en Costa Rica . Telles devoto su vida a el servico publico, sirviendo cuatro veces como empleado para el Condado de El Paso y dos veces como alcalde de El Paso (1957-1961). Tambien devoto mas de 30 años de servicio en la militar y como un solucionador de problemas civiles y como un asesor para el gobierno federal. A través de los años, Telles fue ampliamente aplaudido por retar a los círculos políticos dominados por los blancos en El Paso en los 1940's y 1950's y por refutar la idea de que los mexicano- americanos no podían ser elegidos para un cargo público o ejecutar con eficacia una ciudad. Un símbolo de la dignidad , Telles ha sido más aplaudido como el líder que dio a mexicano-americanos una voz en la política de El Paso. Telles recibido numerosos reconocimientos en su vida, incluyendo el reconocimiento en 2006 como Alcalde Emérito de El Paso. Murió en 2013 a la edad de 97. En la fotografía de arriba Raymond L. Telles está siendo reconocido y premiado por el presidente Lyndon B. Johnson 36o de los Estados Unidos.
