I’ve spent the weekend walking precincts in Latino neighborhoods with farm workers up in Santa Rosa and Salinas. Hundreds of farm workers and UFW members walked door to door statewide in 15 agricultural communities. Even though it was often pouring rain, they were committed to talking with Latino voters about issues directly affecting their lives and families. The passion, sacrifice and enthusiasm demonstrated by these farm workers never ceases to amaze me. Their dedication and humility inspires me every day.
