Luis Dávila Colón
Puerto Rican journalist
Luis Dávila Colón (born March 4, 1952) is a Puerto Rican political radio commentator.
His daily radio talk show, which was broadcast for a decade, until December 2009, from 4:30 to 7:00 pm by the NotiUno 1280 radio network moved to Univision Radio WKAQ-AM in 2010. His twice-weekly columns ran for years in El Vocero daily newspaper, where he serves as an editorial consultant. These mediums provide a wide audience for his political analysis. Since 1988, he has run WKAQ-TV Telemundo's political broadcasts during the election year and has been the principal analyst during election night coverage.
An attorney born in Cidra, Puerto Rico, Dávila Colón is of counsel at the Castellanos & Castellanos law firm in San Juan and Washington, DC. He has associated with economist Carlos Colón De Armas to provide political and economic strategic analysis to corporate clients.
Shortly after obtaining his B.A. cum laude from Marquette University in 1974 and his J.D. at the University of Puerto Rico School of Law, where he served as associate editor of the UPR Law Review from 1976 to 1977, he was the editor of Breakthrough from Colonialism, An Interdisciplinary Study of Statehood, published by the UPR Press and considered by Library of Congress experts as the definitive study on the statehood admissions process in the United States. The multi-year multi-disciplinary research project that preceded publication involved a dozen talented young professionals who went on to assume roles in government, the judiciary and the private sector, including Appellate Court Judge Nélida Jiménez and former Corrections Administrator and current Government Ethics Office Director Zulma Rosario. Dávila Colón supports statehood for Puerto Rico.
Since publishing that book, he has authored nearly a dozen additional books, many of which have held the number one spot in the best-seller lists for the Puerto Rico market.
