I have found that it is much more productive to focus on what brings us together—a shared commitment to education is the best investment we can make in our future, a focus on creating jobs and economic opportunity and to keeping government accountable to ordinary people.” In an effort to bring us together, we’re giving you 20 political debate topics that affect the lives of Latinas so that you know what to look into and where to research further.
