No group has more at stake in the upcoming Gubernatorial race than California’s 15 million Latinos.
That is why the Latino Community Foundation (LCF) partnered with Univision to host The 2018 Gubernatorial Forum with a laser focus on the issues that matter most to Latinos in California.
Jorge Ramos and Ilia Calderón, the award-winning Univision anchors, moderated the Forum with the six leading Gubernatorial candidates. The topics discussed included economic mobility for Latinos, health care, higher education, census, climate change and immigration reform.
It is our time to lead! The 2018 elections will set the tone and stage for 2020 and beyond. Latinos in California make up the largest voting bloc in the nation. Let’s make our voices heard! Latinos have the power to set and advance an agenda for a more equitable California—and nation! Thank you for joining us for this critically important event.
