Latino Family Politics « Platicando
Tagged: blog, family, outreach, Spanish-languagePosted on: October 14th, 2007“The Richardson campaign has a Latino voter outreach program in Nevada and Georgia called “Mi Familia” (”My Family”).
The program is described in a Spanish-language press release as a “Latino community effort” (the translation is mine). Essentially, it is a way to aggregate Latino supporters. The first chapter was formed in Las Vegas in August “at the most grassroots level”, according to Martha Arevalo who is the Richardson campaign’s Latino communications specialist. A second chapter was formed in Atlanta earlier this month.
That Hispanics attach great importance to their families is a truism. That all members of a Latino family will want to vote for the same candidate is an untested proposition.”*
