Latino leader touts the power of the Hispanic vote

The Latino vote of 2012 is shaping up as a powerful force that must be reckoned with, said Andres Ramirez, Vice Chair of the National Democratic Hispanic Caucus, who spoke to a crowded room of WashoeDEMS, Feb. 7.

“It’s huge,” said Ramirez, when giving statistics of the burgeoning numbers of Latinos throughout Nevada, in the North, in the South and in the rural communities. The average age is 26 years old, and many of these voters speak both English and Spanish.

Washoe County Women Stand Up for Shelley Berkley & Access to Health Care

At a press conference at Party HQ this week, Congresswoman Shelley Berkley blasted appointed Senator Dean Heller for his attack on women's health care.

“Instead of focusing on job creation and getting our economy back on track, Washington Republicans like Dean Heller are spending their time pushing a radical social agenda that restricts access to basic women’s preventative health services,” said Berkley.  "Voters will have a clear choice this election between my commitment to putting Nevadans back to work and Dean Heller's attacks on women's healthcare and pro-Wall Street agenda.”
