ICYMI: NV State Senator Edgar Flores: “Harris-Walz and the Latino Dream in Nevada”
20 SEPT 2024
Washington, D.C. – Today, Nevada State Senator Edgar Flores published an op-ed in the La Opinión highlighting the Harris-Walz campaign’s opportunity to continue galvanizing Nevada voters with a popular and balanced vision for immigration reform, one that addresses border security and provides pathways to citizenship for long-settled undocumented immigrants. The op-ed is available in English and Spanish.
Key excerpts:
“By continuing to advocate for accessible routes to citizenship like the Keeping Families Together Program, the Harris-Walz campaign can keep showing they understand our struggles and are committed to advancing earnest solutions. For Nevada immigrants’ communities, these solutions offer the chance to live and work without fear and to fully participate in the American Dream. Every family deserves that chance.
[…]
“The Harris-Walz campaign must keep drawing bold lines between their compassionate, inclusive vision and the dangerous, divisive rhetoric of their opponents that is deeply unpopular with a majority of battleground voters (58% oppose), especially Latinos (69% oppose). By emphasizing their commitment to keeping families together and treating immigrants with the dignity they deserve, Harris-Walz can connect with Latino voters who are eager for leaders that reflect our values and our dreams for a better future.
“Let’s remember: this election is about people. It’s about our friends, our neighbors, our coworkers, and our families who feel the impact of these decisions every day.”
