NDN Hispanic Election Event - Tomorrow (Tuesday) AM

Submitted by James Crabtree on 11/13/06

Given the significance of last week's change in the hispanic vote, NDN is hosting a snap event tomorrow morning. Its a fascinating, and electorally vital, topic. Do forward to people you think might be interested. Our invitation is below.

-------------------------------------------
Immigration was one of the most hotly contested issues in the 2006 election. It is now clear that the Republican strategy to hurt Democrats with the issue failed to work in major races across the country; that it has caused a major backlash with Latino voters; and that those who are supporting Comprehensive Immigration Reform come out of the election with legislative and political momentum and a very good chance to make great progress on the issue next year.

To talk more about all this, NDN has pulled together a strong panel of experts to look at what happened with the immigration issue and Latino vote in 2006, and what we might expect in 2007.

I hope you will join us next Tuesday, November 14th for an important forum on the battle over immigration and the Latino vote. The forum will be held from 8:30-10:00am at the Phoenix Park Hotel, 520 North Capitol Street, NW.

Panelists:

  • Frank Sharry - Executive Director, National Immigration Forum
  • Sergio Bendixen - President, Bendixen and Associates
  • Celinda Lake (Invited) - President, Lake Research Partners
  • Cecilia Munoz (Invited) - Vice President Office of Research, Advocacy, and Legislation, National Council of La Raza

Moderator:

  • Joe Garcia, Director of NDN's Hispanic Strategy Center
