This family certainly played a significant role in making California a predominantly liberal state and creating the winning side. Sadly, we all lost Helen Chavez just yesterday.
Paul Chavez, Cesar Chavez’s son and president of the Cesar Chavez Foundation, who told BuzzFeed News the family largely supports Hillary Clinton. “The fact of the matter is most of us in the family that continue to work closely in the movement that my father began strongly support the candidacy of Hillary,” he said.
Paul Chavez said that support goes up to his mother, Helen Chavez, 88, who is in the hospital fighting an infection. Nevertheless, he said his mother has asked his sister to talk to him about running public service announcements for Clinton, urging people to get out to vote. “The same day she received her ballot, she voted for Hillary and sent it back in,” Paul Chavez said, referring to the imminent California primary.
“She’s always talking to people, ‘Are you registered to vote? You gotta vote for Hillary, we gotta stop Trump,’” he said of the presumptive Republican nominee. His mother told him that if she weren’t sick, she would be walking precincts for Clinton today, “the way she did for Bobby Kennedy back in the day.”
