Jessica Trinidad Endorses Tom Steyer for President
(Des Moines, Jan 24) Presidential Candidate Tom Steyer was endorsed by LULAC Deputy State Director for Young Adults Jessica Trinidad. Trinidad, a daughter of Mexican immigrants, lived in Mexico for most of her childhood and moved to Iowa when she was 18. Since then she’s established herself as an advocate for the Latino and immigrant community in Des Moines and across the state. Trinidad recently attended a Latino Leader Lunch with Steyer and was impressed by both him and Kat Taylor who have worked alongside the Latino communities in California on economic and environmental justice for years. Trinidad said this about her endorsement:
"I heard of Tom back when the need to impeach campaign started. I was really Impressed I thought finally somebody is actually doing something. When I had the opportunity to meet him in person I was really impressed with his knowledge and plans to alleviate key issues affecting our country specially immigration, climate change, and the wage gap. I had the opportunity to ask if he would be open to making it possible for the Mexican people fleeing the drug war to seek asylum and he completely understood why I had asked that question and he said yes he would be open to that and that was when I said ok he gets it."
