CA Latinos & Chelene Nightingale

Chelene Nightingale is steadily attracting California's Latino voters.  The conservative gubernatorial candidate's past Latino affiliations are being remembered now --- with loyalty.

While campaign rival Meg Whitman spends big money to quickly appeal to Latino voters, Chelene Nightingale's past efforts have already created lasting, favorable impressions in Latino hearts throughout the American Southwest.

Nightingale's bond with Latinos is one of mutual love and respect.

Latinos remember that it was Chelene Nightingale who tirelessly fought for the justice of imprisoned border patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean --- and who assisted their family members until their release.

Latinos remember that it was Chelene Nightingale screaming in the streets for the constitutional rights of Deputy Sheriff Gilmer Hernandez.

Latinos remember that it was Chelene Nightingale who reached out to, and was applauded by, the National Latino Peace Officers Association.

Whether fighting for the rights of Latinos in Texas and Washington, DC, demanding justice for legal Latino residents in Arizona, leading marches against Mexican drug cartels near San Diego, or saving farm workers' jobs in the Central Valley, Nightingale has been there for Latinos all along.

Vicky Mendosa, from Ventura County, had this to say about her choice for California governor:

"Chelene has sweated with us, screamed with us, cried with us, and celebrated with us.  She is one of us.  Most Latinos are against the drug cartels illegally crossing into California, and so is Chelene," said Mendoza.

A growing number of Latinos are supporting Nightingale for California governor.

"She has the message that the people need to hear now in California.  Chelene Nightingale is a woman for our times.  We need answers for our questions, and she has the correct answers and, also, she has a history with Latinos," says Carla Salazar of Los Angeles.
