Hispanic Federation Strongly Supports Nomination of Dr. Miguel Cardona

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 22, 2020

New York - Today, Hispanic Federation, one of the nation’s leading organizations dedicated to supporting and empowering the Latino community, issued the following statement on President-elect Joe Biden’s nomination of Dr. Miguel Cardona. Hispanic Federation President, Frankie Miranda said:

“The selection of Dr. Miguel Cardona by President-elect Joe Biden to lead the Department of Education is a critical step to build back our nation’s classrooms as places where all children can learn. Dr. Cardona brings with him a unique background as a product of public schools, a former elementary school teacher, and an innovative and accomplished administrator. Most critically, Dr. Cardona has been a leading voice in calling for a holistic national education policy that addresses K-12 learning through the lenses of housing, healthcare access, and poverty—a perspective our nation’s students, particularly Latino, Black, and other disadvantage children desperately need.

Latino communities understand that the road to economic success and stability runs through public school classrooms. We look forward to partnering with Dr. Cardona and the entire Biden Administration as they work to rebuild confidence and support for public education at this critical moment.”
