Hola miembros y amigos—
Like those flat-earthers of years ago who suddenly realized that the world is in fact round, Republicans are starting to realize that their “safe” districts are not at all “safe Republican seats.” As the dust settles from the mid-term primaries now completed in Idaho, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Nebraska, Democrats with bold agendas have emerged as strong contenders for challenging establishment, do-nothing officials.
And with that, Democrats Abroad’s Hispanic Caucus fully endorses the following candidates running for office (with their names in bold font).
