This story originally appeared in Spanish in La Voz Hispana. It was translated into English by Gilah Benson-Tilsen.
The political arena in New Haven is heating up with seven candidates for the coming election, which will determine the successor to John DeStefano Jr. as mayor. DeStefano is retiring from that position after 20 years of heading the local administration. Among the candidates for mayor, the presence of Henry Fernandez stands out. He has been directly involved in the development of this area for more than two decades, in addition to being at the head of advocacy and support organizations for the general Latino community, not only on a local level, but also on a national level. We spoke for a while with the young candidate and graduate of Yale Law School.
