Wendy Carrillo--Out of the Shadows, into Congress

Democracy in Color with Steve Phillips - A podcast by Democracy in Color - Thursdays

First-time political candidate, Wendy Carrillo, 36, went from fleeing war in El Salvador to campaigning for Congressional office. She is running to represent California’s 34th Congressional District (which is almost entirely within the City of LA) in a highly contested race to replace former Rep. Xavier Becerra, who is now California’s attorney general.
