Ralph Alvarado became the first Hispanic elected to state office in Kentucky when he won his state Senate race in 2014. On Wednesday night, Alvarado, a medical doctor, will give a speech to the Republican National Convention. His convention speech is important for Donald Trump. Trump is struggling to win Hispanic support. According to a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC poll, Trump has the support of only 14 percent of Hispanics. Alvarado and Adryana Boyne, a Texas delegate to the Republican convention, were angry over Trump’s statements about Mexicans and his call to remove 11 million illegal immigrants. Both backed other candidates for the Republican nomination. But both Alvarado and Boyne told VOA they believe Trump will make a better president than the likely Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton. Alvarado said conservative policies supported by Trump and Republicans are better for Hispanics and other Americans than liberal programs backed by Clinton and Democrats.
