28. The Sanders campaign had reached out and connected with the Latino community
Sun Feb 21, 2016, 01:13 AM
Feb 2016

in Iowa and in Nevada.

Sanders won 9 percent more Latinos that Clinton did, correct?

The Latino community in Iowa broke heavily for Sanders.

His message was resonating with them. There were many articles in Iowa, including the Des Moines Register, about the Latino community embracing Bernie Sanders. His solutions to income inequality, raising the minimum wage, campaign-finance reform and single-payer were very appealing to Latinos.

Latino participation in the Iowa caucuses was up 300 percent from 2008. A big move, since 2008 saw record caucus participation in Iowa.

I know many friends who flew to Nevada to worked hard on the Sanders campaign--knocking on doors and making phone calls--speaking one on one to Hispanics and introducing them to Bernie Sanders. Those were hard-won successes in Nevada.

That progress.
