... is mistaken for formality but is actually the result of the rods implanted to correct a curved spine. Campoverdi grew up in Santa Monica, one of the Los Angeles area’s more upscale communities, but her home was a cramped, government-subsidized apartment where eight members of her extended family lived. Her father was absent. Her first teenage love was a gang member, she says. “That’s when you’re really negotiating your Latino identity,” she says. “Social mobility is traumatizing.”. “Hey, I still wear a necklace with my name on it,” she laughs, pointing to the gold chain around her neck that she’s paired with a simple black collared shirt and skinny black jeans.

... supporting a $15 minimum wage, driver’s licenses for undocumented immigrants and an expansion of paid family leave, Gomez’s opponents have seized on the endorsements he has secured from Becerra, Mayor Eric Garcetti and other prominent Democrats. “I feel like this is a coronation,” said Steven Mac, a deputy district attorney. “The same mistake we made with Hillary, we’re making right now.”. Sanders has not endorsed in the race. But Carrillo, a progressive activist, and Arturo Carmona, who served as a deputy in Sanders’ presidential campaign, are testing the transferability of his appeal. “Bernie did very well in the district, and obviously it’s a younger district, he did well with Latinos,” said Sean Clegg, a Democratic strategist advising Hernandez. “. In that sense, you have a little bit of a mirror image of the debate that’s going on nationally about the future of the party … It’s really the only test of what’s going on in the base.”.

What The Money So Far Says About The Latest Los Angeles Congressional Race
... raise money from political committees — he got a boost to the tune of $38,900 from those groups. Many included campaign committees for his Assembly colleagues, including Democrats Ian Calderon, Marc Levine and Blanca Rubio. Gomez also received a total of $3,750 from at least five California registered lobbyists, who are barred from giving money to his Assembly campaign account by state law. Most of the money is from California. Less than 20% of the money that poured into the race as of Dec. 31 was from out of state, according to FEC records. About $590,087 of all contributions — excluding money candidates gave to themselves and small unitemized contributions — came from California. Hernandez and Gomez were the big winners. Hernandez raised $167,046 from California residents. In-state donations to the Gomez campaign were $244,115. Campoverdi and Flores, at 56% and 65% respectively, raised the least from in-state donors as a share of their total.

... made for our family and for the community.". Campoverdi worked in the White House from 2009 to 2012, first as an assistant to a deputy chief of staff and later as deputy director of Hispanic media. While at The Times in 2015, she worked with the publisher's office on a video project about immigration and the American identity. She left in July to pursue opportunities with other media outlets. Campoverdi strikes a similar tone to many of her fellow candidates, vowing to "stand up against Donald Trump and his politics of hate.". Other candidates vying for the seat include. Assemblyman Jimmy Gomez (D-Los Angeles). Wendy Carrillo, a Democratic labor activist. Kenneth Mejia, a Green Party candidate who ran earlier this year as a write-in Democratic candidate against Becerra. Sara Hernandez, former staffer for Councilman Jose Huizar and a Democrat.

... and candidates. As recently as last year only a dozen-or-so paid Latina staffers could be counted amongst the hundreds of operatives in the party establishment. Campoverdi briefing President Obama in the Oval Office in 2011. With Tom Perez’s ascension to the chairmanship of the Democratic National Committee, he needs to have a real conversation with Vice Chair Maria Elena Durazo and Finance Chair Henry Muñoz about creating an meaningful integration of Hispanic perspectives at the top of the party establishment. Muñoz and Durazo are long-time establishment veterans who know the issues facing Hispanics up and down the ticket for Democrats, and in the halls of our national establishment. Backing outstanding Latina candidates like Campoverdi to shatter glass ceilings for our community is a necessary first step. In Campoverdi’s case, like Becerra before her, she’s a dedicated democrat, a skilled media operator and razor sharp negociator of policy that favor our community. She is also a die-hard Californian who understands our community. where we’ve come from, the ...
2014 Tea Party Favorite Chris Mcdaniel Mulls A Primary Against Roger Wicker
... and he said in his announcement that, "Absent extenuating circumstances, I intend to finish the job I was hired to do," which also gives him some wiggle room. ● NH-Gov: Because New Hampshire elects its governors to two-year terms, Republican Gov. Chris Sununu, who pulled off a tight 49-47 win against Democratic Executive Councilor Colin Van Ostern last year, will face the voters again soon. Aside from Republican Craig Benson's narrow 2004 defeat, New Hampshire voters haven't fired a first-term governor since 1926. However, Democrats are hoping that Sununu and his allies' conservative agenda, as well a Trump backlash, will give them the chance to retake the governor's office. It's unclear who is interested in challenging Sununu. A few weeks after his defeat, Van Ostern dodged questions about his 2018 plans , though he doesn't seem to have said anything about the race since then. WMUR's John Di Staso also says there's speculation that state Attorney General Joseph Foster, a former state Senate majority leader who leaves office at the end of the month, could run , though Foster hasn't said anything. In New Hampshire, attorneys general are appointed by the governor to a ...
A Woman Running For Congress Faces A Double Mastectomy
... experiences in order for their health concerns to be treated seriously by policymakers. But since their perspective is still a minority in both chambers of congress (both hover around 20 percent women generally, and 7 percent for women of color) they often have to speak up for women, who, although we often forget it, do make up a majority of the population. Like many other women who have been galvanized to run for office following Trump’s election, Campoverdi says she is eager to use her voice to elevate the voices and concerns of women. “I’ll make sure women’s voices are loud and well-represented on the floor of Congress, and will be a fearless champion for women’s health, using every megaphone at my disposal to channel the energy we are seeing around the country into Washington,” she told me. Campoverdi’s double mastectomy won’t be until 2019. She’ll be 39 years old — ten years younger than when her own mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. But she’s not afraid of the surgery, or of Donald Trump. In fact, she hopes to take her story and those of millions ...
