Obama Campaign Announces Iowa Latino Steering Committee
DES MOINES -- The Obama Campaign today announced an 88-member Latino Steering Committee that will engage Latinos across Iowa and talk with them about Obama's leadership on issues important to the Latino community, and his commitment to bringing about change we can believe in.
"Today more than ever, America needs a leader who will bring people together to reach for what we know is possible," said Storm Lake Councilwoman Sara Monroy Huddleston, one of four elected Latinos in Iowa. "Barack Obama, the one candidate who will bring new energy and respect to the Presidency, will work alongside all Americans to bring about change we can believe in."
Barack Obama has continued to fight for the Latino community by expanding opportunities for Latinos in education, health care, and economic development. Obama has been a leader in the fight for comprehensive immigration reform and is committed to putting politics aside and offering a complete solution that strengthens our security while reaffirming our heritage as a nation of immigrants.
"Real change comes from the bottom up and the Latino community is a vital part of our grassroots movement for change in Iowa," Senator Obama said. "I am proud to have the support of these leaders in the Latino community who will help ensure that our grassroots movement for change succeeds on caucus night."
