Living United for Change (LUCHA) in Arizona faced challenges earlier this summer in discussing the Biden administration's immigration policies with voters. However, the organization's executive director, Alejandra Gomez, now expresses enthusiasm following Vice President Kamala Harris' nomination as the Democratic presidential candidate and her selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate.
Gomez views Harris' choice of Walz as a significant political move that signals a commitment to a progressive and decisive presidency. In Minnesota, initiatives such as offering free college tuition to certain undocumented students and expanding driver's license eligibility regardless of immigration status have garnered support.
