SACRAMENTO, CA - Today members of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) announced they will begin airing two 60-second Spanish language radio ads in the hotly contested Congressional race in California's 10th District. "Representation" and "Education," are the first two ads in an aggressive Spanish-language radio campaign that will run in the Sacramento-Modesto and Merced media markets through Election Day.

"Time and again Jeff Denham has proven that he is against us here in California with his votes against Pell Grants, against the DREAM Act and even against help for us facing foreclosures," said Cathy Lowe, a home care worker from the 10th District. . "Working people need someone in the Congress who will fight for us. That's why I'm voting for Jose Hernandez for Congress."

"It's clear that Jeff Denham and Mitt Romney think alike when it comes to investing in our future and looking out for our community, but two wrongs don't make a right and that's why this November 6th Latino voters are going to vote to keep the state and country moving forward," said SEIU Secretary-Treasurer Eliseo Medina. "This election has enormous consequences for California and the country because we cannot afford Jeff Denham's extreme agenda anymore."

SENIOR MAN: Well who's the other option?

ADULT WOMAN: Jose Hernandez, remember him? He'll fight against these types of laws.

SENIOR MAN: Oh... yes, the astronaut, right?

ADULT WOMAN: He's one of us. He grew up in the Valley, he worked hard and he is going to take that same determination to fight for us in Congress.
