Amanda Renteria
Potential 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will reportedly name the first Latina chief of staff for a congressional lawmaker to her campaign team for the White House.
The possible addition of Renteria comes as Clinton attempts to court the Latino electorate. On the Republican field, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and former Gov. Jeb Bush could have the advantage to gain Latino voters. Rubio, a Cuban American, has voted for the bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill “S.744 – Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act” in June 2013. The senator, however, has backed away his support despite being a cosponsor of the legislation. Bush, as governor of the third most Latino-populated state, is fluent in the Spanish language and married to Mexican-born philanthropist Columba Garnica Gallo. The governor, however, opposes President Barack Obama’s immigration executive orders but supports a pathway to citizenship, by Congress, for undocumented immigrants known as DREAMers.
