Related: About this forumBERNIE SANDERS GETS MORE ENDORSEMENTS FROM ARIZONA LATINO LEADERS
Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders, who already has received the nod from Democratic Arizona Congressman Raul Grijalva, has scored more endorsements from state Latino leaders.
State Senator Martin Quezada (D-Phoenix) and Maricopa County Supervisor Steve Gallardo joined about a dozen other Latinos most of them members of the Arizona Legislature to announce their endorsement of Sanders. Among those endorsing him also were non-Latinos, including state Representative Reginald Bolding (D-Laveen) and state Senator Andrea Dalessandro (D-Sahuarita).
Quezada said he is behind Sanders because he believes the Vermont senator has stayed true to the ideals that Americans want in an elected official.
Hes an individual who puts American ideals before special interests, Quezada said. Hes a candidate who puts the voters ahead of lobbyists. And hes a candidate who puts people ahead of corporations. Those are things that so many politicians nowadays do not do anymore.

He almost takes the stench away from McCain, Flake, McSalley and Ducey(our guv)
