Town Hall: HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT – THE CAMPAIGN TO ENGAGE LATINO VOTERS – In Partnership with the Southern California Latino Policy Center Tremendous effort and resources are being focused on Latino GOTV efforts this year but are those efforts being focused only on “specific” Latino voters? And what about the ethics and corruption scandals involving Latino elected officials — how does that play with Latino voters as they decide whether to engage? Our high-profile panel explores these and other questions at the heart of one of this political season’s biggest challenges. Moderator: Victor Abalos, Executive Director, Southern California Latino Policy Center Panelists: Mindy Romero, California Civic Engagement Project; Mike Madrid, Grassroot Labs; Maria Garcia, City of Long Beach; Rep. Loretta Sanchez, U.S. Senate Candidate |

Issues addressed by Southern California policymakers during the Forum included:
