National Hispanic Advisory Board
ARLINGTON, VA -- U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today announced its National Hispanic Advisory Board. The advisory board is made up of elected officials, scholars, and church and community leaders. The board will counsel John McCain on issues important to the Hispanic American community and will work to continue to build the campaign's growing grassroots organization across the country.
"John McCain is the only candidate prepared to lead our great nation as commander in chief from day one," said Representative Lincoln Diaz-Balart. "Throughout his career John McCain has shown leadership on issues important to the Hispanic community, including expanding economic prosperity and advancing democracy and freedom around the world. "John McCain's leadership on immigration reform proved that while he believes we must secure the borders first, we must also treat all people in our country with compassion."
Representative Illeana Ros-Lehtinen added, "John McCain understands that the Cuban people have been living under tyranny for far too long. John has been a strong supporter of the U.S. embargo and has long been working with us to help bring freedom and democracy to Cuba. We deeply value his commitment and are proud to stand with him."
John McCain thanked Reps. Diaz-Balart and Ros-Lehtinen, along with the advisory board members, adding, "I am proud to have the support of this distinguished group of Hispanic community leaders. I look forward to their support and expertise as I work to take on the tough challenges facing all Americans."
