Univision Los Angeles & Mi Familia Vota Education Fund to Host First Spanish-Language Mayoral Debate between Eric Garcetti & Wendy Greuel

KMEX-TV, the flagship station of Univision Communications Inc, the leading media company serving Hispanic America, and Mi Familia Vota Education Fund have partnered to host the first Spanish-language mayoral debate between Eric Garcetti and Wendy Greuel in an effort to provide viewers direct access to both candidates on issues that matter most to the community. Moderated by Univision 34 anchor Leon Krauze and morning news anchor Gabriela Teissier, the LIVE one-hour debate will air on KMEX-TV, Channel 34 on Friday, April 19 at 6 p.m. PDT.

“This mayoral debate is part of Univision’s on-going commitment to the Los Angeles Hispanic community in providing the most comprehensive coverage surrounding the topics of most relevance to them,” said Alberto Mier y Terán, senior vice president/general manager, Univision 34 – UniMás 46. “We thank both candidates for accepting our invitation to take part in this debate that will offer our viewers – their constituents – a better look at proposed plans for Los Angeles. We hope this debate will motivate our community to exercise their right to vote on May 21.”

Univision 34 and Mi Familia Vota Education Fund have come together to offer the candidates a platform where they can directly address the Latino community including education, gun control, healthcare, immigration and the economy.

“This debate is a testament of the power of the Latino vote, in a city where Latinos comprise 48 percent of the population and more than 70 percent of the student population in the district; mayoral candidates must engage Latino voters,” said Ben Monterroso, executive director of Mi Familia Vota Education Fund. “In Los Angeles as well as in other parts of the country candidates aspiring to be elected offices must listen to and converse with our community. This debate provides an ideal opportunity for each candidate to address key issues important to Latino voters such as jobs, education, healthcare, and immigration, on one of the highest rated local newscast in the country.”

As part of Univision’s ongoing partnership with ABC News, Teissier will also serve as co-moderator at Los Angeles’ KABC televised debate between Garcetti and Greuel this evening.
