Washington, D.C.—Latino Victory Fund announced the endorsement of Eddy Morales for Oregon’s 3rd Congressional District. If elected, he would be the first LGBTQ Latino to represent Oregon in Congress.
Statement from Sindy M. Benavides, Latino Victory Fund President & CEO.
“Eddy is a dedicated and effective organizer who understands that true meaningful change begins within the community. He’s fought successfully for fair wages for farm workers, immigrant rights, reproductive freedom, and voter rights, all key issues that impact the Latino community and for which we need more passionate advocates in Congress. As a Gresham city councilor, Eddy advocated for policies to expand affordable housing, strengthen public safety, and preserve green spaces, and continued his advocacy for the underserved. Congress needs more leaders like Eddy who possess strong organizational skills to break through the chaos and extremism on Capitol Hill. Latino Victory Fund is proud to endorse Eddy for Congress and will work tirelessly to ensure he wins.”
