Latinos compiling a candidate list in Utah

“Energized by recent protests that drew thousands of illegal immigrants and their supporters to downtown Salt Lake City to call for legal status, some community leaders are now turning to voter education.

Tony Yapias of Proyecto Latino de Utah is among those working on a list of candidates who support comprehensive immigration reform ”” and a hit list of opposing candidates who don’t.

Yapias said the lists are still being compiled and should be made available this week. He said candidates who have openly supported documented and undocumented immigrants will get an endorsement. Those who haven’t will not.”
