Washington, D.C. — Please see below for a statement from César J. Blanco, Latino Victory Fund interim director about Senator Bernie Sanders’ endorsement of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton:
“We want to thank Senator Sanders for his work to promote and advance issues that are important to the Latino community. Latinos will always be grateful for his advocacy and tenacity in fighting for justice and for a better future for our families.
“Senator Sanders understands what lies ahead, what’s at stake, and the importance of making sure we elect Hillary Clinton. It is time for us to come together and unite behind Hillary for the well being of our families, of our community, and of this country. Only she can deliver on the issues that matter to us greatly – a higher minimum wage, equal pay, clean energy, quality affordable healthcare, immigration reform with a path to citizenship, and protecting DACA while keeping our families together. Thank you again Senator Sanders, and we look forward to seeing you on the campaign trail.”
