Latina Leadership Making History: Maricela “Marci” Luna

January 13, 2026

History was made in Los Angeles as Maricela “Marci” Luna was honored by the U.S. Postal Service as the first Mexican-American Latina to serve as Postmaster of Los Angeles—a milestone more than 170 years in the making.

Los Angeles is one of the most diverse cities in the country, and for many communities—especially Latino and immigrant families—the post office is more than a public service. It is a lifeline. Marci Luna’s leadership represents progress, representation, and the long-overdue recognition of Latinas in roles that keep our cities connected and functioning.

Her appointment reflects years of dedication to public service and operational excellence, while also signaling a broader shift toward leadership that mirrors the communities being served. At a time when trust in institutions matters more than ever, Marci Luna’s leadership stands as a reminder that representation is not symbolic—it shapes how institutions serve the people who rely on them every day.
