HRC hires DREAMer for Latino Outreach

Way to walk the talk, HRC. Bravo!

"Hillary Clinton's campaign has hired Lorella Praeli to lead their Latino outreach effort, a key component of the Democrat's presidential bid.

Praeli most recently served as the advocacy and policy director of United We Dream, the youth immigration group that routinely confronted Clinton on immigration and the DREAM Act in 2014. Most notably, the group questioned Clinton after her first political event in Iowa and interrupted speeches in New York and Maryland.

As Latino outreach director, Praeli will be the campaign's primary contact for Latino community and advocacy organizations. She will also serve as a campaign surrogate on issues like immigration reform.

"We are thrilled to have Lorella Praeli, a DREAMer, join our team because of her courage and perspective in the fight for Latino families across the country," said Amanda Renteria, Hillary for America National Political Director, in a statement issued Wednesday."

cuts, jobs programs, big social security increases, welfare reform, tax hikes, etc., to get 40% of the vote.

And if anyone can pull that off, she can.

OK, some of that might have to wait for second term.
