Ecuadorans are one of the fastest growing immigrant groups in the New York area. Many of them hold strong views on Ecuadoran politics. But at least one Ecuadoran community leader in Queens, NY is trying to get his fellow immigrants to focus on the US presidential election. As part of our special series La Ruta del Voto Latino - The Road to the Latino Vote, journalist Diego Graglia spoke to Francisco Moya, a delegate to the Democratic National Convention. In fact, he's the first Ecuadoran to be a delegate to a major party convention in the US. In this self-contained module Moya talks about the challenge of getting Ecuadoran immigrants, including those who are US citizens, to pay attention to US politics.
Diego Graglia is on the road from New York City to Mexico City, talking to Latinos about the issues and the candidates in this year's presidential election.
