Dear Family and Friends:
A surprising fact: in spite of the Spanish/Mexican presence in California since the 1770s, California HAS NEVER elected a Latino to the office of US Senator. California became a state in 1850.
Read the facts in the August issue. I've included graphs which visually demonstrate the points.
This may be the year, a 166 years later to finally have a US Senator who will expess the Mexican/Latino/Hispanic perspective. We have a strong candidate in Loretta Sanchez.
In 2016, our country is experiencing one of the most dramatic national election of the centuries. Both parties are troubled to their foundation by the demands of the American people to put the power of their vote back into their hands. Clearly Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush were being pushed by their party machines, the old established in-siders vs the new faces of outsiders.
I want to present to you the facts of another, to me equally as important, or possibly historically eventually will be viewed as an even more important California race. Barbara Boxer, California's US Senator office is retiring. Under the Constitution, members of the United States Senate may serve an unlimited number of six-year terms and members of the House of Representatives may serve an unlimited number of two-year terms. It is a very politically powerful position. Barbara Boxer served 10 years in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1983 to 1992, before being elected US Senator in 1993.
Two well qualified candidates, U.S Representative, Loretta Sanchez and California Attorney General Kamala Harris are running for the office. Sanchez has twenty years experience serving in the US House of Representatives. However Sanchez is little known outside of California and is the party outsider, because Harris is a good friend of the president, who is campaigning for her with all his resources and those of the Democratic party.
Sanchez was born to working class parents. Sanchez's mother is a teacher in the Santa Ana School District. She told me, she earned a teaching credential, while raising her family. "I wanted to set an example. I was going to school, while they were going to school." Harris life was one of privilege, the daughter of a black Stanford University professor and a South Asian Indian physician mother.
So much neglect, injustices and confusion is explained by this historically monumental absence of a Latino presence in the US Senate. After reading the historical evidence in the August issue of Somos Primos, I believe that all Americans, in fairness, will agree that Latinos in California, in the Southwest, and nationally have not been historically presented, and will share the information with primos and friends, no matter wherever they live. Please voice your support for Loretta Sanchez and our history.
God bless America
