D.C. Happy Hour Raises Hundreds for Hillary!


On Monday April 21, Latinos for Clinton came together to support Hillary before the Pennsylvania primaries. Despite the rainy weather supporters enjoyed Latin/ Mediterranean fused appetizers and drinks and LIMA Restaurant and Lounge. The event opened with the spectacular ballads of Juan Carlos Molina, a Guatemalan native with Colombian background who recently released a CD called Sueños with 16 tracks of Ricardo Arjona. After that, Alicia Menendez (daughter of Senator Bob Menendez of NJ), political activist and freelance writer grabbed to mic and ensured us that Hillary is still in this race and has potential for victory! Our key note speaker for the night Ana Sol Gutierrez gave a motivational speech about Hillary and the importance of the Latino Vote! Her last words were to DONATE DONATE DONATE! The night ended with a wonderful performance by Renato Cruz a local artist that blew us away with his Salsa performance. Overall the fundraiser was a success, hundreds were raised and supporters were confident about Hillary's future victory in Pennsylvania.
