* Attention all Texas voters abroad! * On March 3, 2020, the Lone Star State will hold its Democratic primary. Among the several candidates battling it out to be the Democratic nominee is Jack Daniel Foster, Jr. (https://www.votejackdaniel.com/), a gentleman from a rural area east of Houston who believes strongly in local communities being the leader in providing solutions to issues. Mark your calendars! Jack spoke to us on the topics of: how Americans living abroad should be covered under the U.S. health care system, how counties and other local government entities could be a major economic engine if adequate and consistent investments were made on the local level, and how Texas' Latino families and indeed all Texan families would be part of his "Cycle of Return" plan that he is encouraging lawmakers to adopt. Have a listen to our interview with Jack to hear more on his thoughts on the issues. And although we're still months out from this important race, we encourage all Texans living abroad to become educated on the several candidates and to make sure they request their absentee ballots in a timely manner (https://www.votefromabroad.org/). "They always want us to invest in the stock market, but the real investment is in people, not businesses." -- Jack Daniel Foster, Jr., candidate for U.S. Senate from Texas. *Note: As the Democrats Abroad Hispanic Caucus is part of the Democratic Party, it does not formally endorse a candidate before a Democratic primary has occurred when there is more than one candidate running for the same seat. As such, we have invited all Democratic candidates running for this U.S. Senate seat to speak with us on our podcast to inform Texas' absentee voters about themselves and their campaigns. Not all candidates have responded to the invitation. We are grateful to hear directly from Mr. Foster and the other Democratic candidates who have accepted our invitation. Hispanic Caucus participants in this episode: Amerika García-Grewal (Fiji) and John Chudy (Guatemala). Postcast music provided by Carlos Colao (Spain).
