Alida Garcia @leedsgarcia@GabiDomenzain's hire by O'Malley operation is a major win 4 #immigration advocates. Our issue will surely be front & center w/ her there.
Gabriela Domenzain, former director of Hispanic media for Obama when he garnered a record 71% of the Latino vote in 2012, is joining OMalleys campaign as the director of public engagement where she will have a hand in communications, policy, and political outreach, a campaign source said.
In Maryland, you speak to Latinos and they call him the most pro-Latino governor of the United States, Domenzain told BuzzFeed News. In other states they dont know him but they should.
Domenzain, was considered for the director of Hispanic media position in Hillary Clintons campaign, according to sources with knowledge, and said she believes Americans want new voices on the left, especially voices as progressive as OMalley.
Domenzain ties her passion on immigration to OMalleys response to the surge of Central American undocumented minors across the border last summer, where she says national leaders like Clinton and Obama said the children should be sent back.
She was heartened however when OMalley, speaking at a Democratic Governors Association press conference last summer, said the country should act like Americans and give children fleeing death refuge. That brought the possibility of dignity back to the conversation and turned my head, she said.

He was definitely the most pro-immigration governor in the country and I like that they mentioned his using New Americans to refer to immigrants and how he treats the issue and people with dignity.
