A New Generation of Cuban-American Leaders

POR: CAPITOL HILL CUBANS



November 4, 2010


Last night, the Cuban-American community elected a new generation of political leaders.

And -- once again -- it has disproven the myth of a generational disparity in Cuban-American views regarding U.S. policy towards Cuba.

By overwhelmingly electing Marco Rubio, as their next U.S. Senator, and David Rivera, as their next U.S. Representative, Cuban-Americans have sent a clear message to Washington that it rejects policies of unilateral concessions to the repressive Castro regime.

Together with U.S. Senator Bob Menendez, House Foreign Affairs Chair-to-be Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, and U.S. Reps. Mario Diaz-Balart and Albio Sires, they now join the Congressional battle for a free and democratic Cuba.

You simply can't push-poll your way around the voting booth.

Congratulations Marco and David!
