Denny Altes is the Republican leader of the Arkansas Senate. He represents Sebastian County, Arkansas, Senate District 13.
On November 29, 2007 Altes publicly apologized for an email he had written in which he said that Arkansas is overrun with illegal immigrants and that "we are being out populated by blacks also." He was tearful in his apology but also stated that he did not feel his remarks were racist.
In response to his email, the League of United Latin American Citizens called for his resignation. Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe criticized the e-mail, calling Altes' comments divisive and insensitive.
