Both the Democratic and Republican Parties are trying to woo the ever-important Latino vote, especially in certain swing states with growing Latino populations. But to what extent is this pandering, or are the concerns of the diverse and complex Latino community across the country being shortchanged by both major parties in the name of politics as usual. This panel will examine these and other questions about the Latino vote.
Panelists
Robert Martinez, Hofstra alumnusand local Immigrant Rights attorney
Angelo Falcón, President, National Institute for Latino Policy (NiLP)
Organizers
Phi Iota Alpha, and HOLA, Hofstra Organization of Latin Americans
