Latino Candidate Forum Saturday: 2 candidates
consider support for plan to allow early voting
rights for immigrants before citizenship granted
SACRAMENTO – Two candidates for statewide office participating in a
county-sponsored "Latino Candidate Forum" here Saturday are expected to say
they support a plan to grant full legal status to undocumented immigrants
immediately, and possibly allow them to vote even before that in certain
cases.
The first-ever "Latino Candidate Forum," hosted by the Sacramento County
Voter Registration and Elections Office, will be held Saturday, from 2 to 5
p.m. at the Teichert Boys and Girls Club (5212 Lemon Hill Ave.).
At least 22 candidates for offices ranging from Governor, Lt. Governor,
Attorney General and Secretary of State to local races for City Council,
Supervisor and Sheriff are expected to attend.
Among them is gubernatorial candidate Peter Miguel Camejo, and Secretary of
State candidate Dr. Forrest Hill – both are Green Party candidates who
support amnesty and full legalization of undocumented immigrants. They will
make public their views on immigrant rights, and voting rights for all
immigrants during the debate.
Others, besides Camejo and Hill, confirming attendance are Sen. Deborah
Ortiz, Sec. of State race; Sen. Liz Figueroa, Lt. Governor race and
Councilman Steve Cohn, Sacramento City Council Dist. 3 race.
