Chairman Kaine Addresses the National Council of La Raza's Annual Conference

The National Council of La Raza is the largest Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the nation. NCLR held its annual conference in Chicago this year, and today, DNC Chairman Tim Kaine addressed an audience of approximately 1,600. Kaine talked about the Latino community’s growing influence and touched on a few key issues, including immigration and health insurance reform, during his lunchtime keynote address.

Kaine joined top Obama Administration officials– including Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Shaun Donovan and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan – at the conference. No national GOP official accepted an invitation to speak at the event.
