Washington, D.C.—Following the release of Alison Lundergan Grimes’ new anti-immigration ad in Kentucky, Latino Victory Project President Cristóbal Alex released the following statement:
“Immigration reform is a critical issue that will require leadership and political courage to do the right thing,” Alex said. “To see a candidate from either party use this kind of language in advertising is unacceptable in 2014, and we condemn this attempt by Alison Lundergan Grimes to play ugly politics with an issue so important to our community and the nation.”
