Fernando Mateo: A Delegate and Speaker at the RNC

Fernando Mateo enjoyed an opportunity many only dream of – to represent his community at one of the most watched events of the year, the Republican National Convention (RNC). Fernando was invited to represent the Hispanic community of New York City as a delegate and speaker at the RNC.

With his speech Fernando spoke about the opportunities available to Hispanics and the importance of exercising our vote so we can have a hand in deciding the issues that are important to us. “During this election the Hispanic vote will be a deciding one,” Mateo said. “We need to register early and vote so we can take our issues to the highest power in the land. As a community we can’t wait around for our problems to be magically solved. And as the fastest growing demographic, we (Hispanics) can take part in deciding our future.”

HAA encorages all to cheer for Alex Rodriguezl.
