Latina Candidates for the State Legislature.

A number of Latina candidates are running for seats in the state legislature and could make history in California’s Central Valley. Statewide, the number of women legislators could rise to history-making records. What’s driving this surge? What’s the outlook for Nov 8? What races to watch?

Guest: Juan Esparza, Editor, Vida en el Valle/The Fresno, Bee, Fresno, CA.

Key Close Contests. Traditionally conservative Kern county is now the scenario of fiercely competitive races. And Latinos in the barrios of East Bakersfield and farm working towns may cast the key vote in three highly-watched races for Congress, the state Senate and the Assembly. What’s at stake?

Guests: Dr. Gonzalo Santos, Sociologist, Professor Emeritus, CSU Bakersfield, Bakersfield, CA.
