Newt Gingrich Unveils his Hispanic Inclusion Team in Illinois

 

Chicago, IL - Today, Speaker Gingrich unveils his Hispanic Inclusion team in Illinois. The team is headed by Hispanic State Leader, Joseph Galvan.

“The American Hispanic community of Illinois sees clearly that there is only one Republican candidate that is looking out for our interests, and that is Newt Gingrich,” says Galvan. “Newt has received the backing of top-notch Latino leaders throughout the state because of his sincere inclusion in his campaign. His willingness to address the issues that face all Americans, and in particular Hispanics, shows  that a Gingrich presidency would get to work on issues – such as jobs, housing and immigration that are important to Hispanics,” added Galvan.

The Hispanic team is released one day before an important Hispanic event at Judson University in Elgin, Illinois. The University  will host a Public Town Hall Meeting with Newt Gingrich at 10 a.m. on Thursday, March 15 in Herrick Chapel.

"It is a true honor to receive the support of top Latino leaders across the different states. I look forward to engaging with the Latino community this coming Thursday in Elgin,” stated Speaker Newt Gingrich.
