Chicano/Latinx Icons Endorse Price Campaign
From Pamela Price:
“Two specific supporters who I am proud to call friends are Carlos and Norma Alcala. As chair of the Chicano Latino Caucus of the California Democratic Party, Carlos has a stellar history of advocating for civil rights. In fact, Carlos
served as Cesar Chavez’s chief trial attorney representing farm workers, then winning a ten million dollar judgment in the Lettuce Boycott trial for bad faith bargaining. And a key witness was – Dolores Huerta.
“Norma is also leading the way. She was first elected to the West Sacramento City Council in November 2020. Norma is the Past President of the Washington Unified School District, where she was twice elected to the Board: in 2018 and 2014. After her 2018 election, Norma announced she would not seek a third term in order to allow others a chance to lead. When a vacancy occurred on the City Council in 2020, Norma successfully ran for office. West Sacramentians also elected her to the Yolo County Democratic Party Central Committee in 2017. “
