If
he can just make it through his party’s nominating contest, Jeb Bush —
who speaks Spanish fluently and is married to a Mexican — has long held
up his ability to win
over Hispanic voters in a general election.
And
on Wednesday evening, he will field questions from the sizable Hispanic
population here, the latest Republican to speak at a policy forum
sponsored by the Libre Initiative.
Libre,
a grass-roots organization backed by the conservative billionaire
brothers Charles G. and David H. Koch, is dedicated to promoting the
Koch network’s guiding principles
of economic freedom and limited government to Hispanics. But it also
hopes to win them over through more traditional community organizing,
such as helping undocumented immigrants get driver’s licenses and
handing out turkeys on Thanksgiving.
Mr. Bush is expected to address the economy, education, health care, immigration and other issues.
His
scheduled appearance before the group comes a day after a bill to crack
down on so-called sanctuary cities, where the authorities do not
automatically try to deport
undocumented immigrants, failed to advance in the Senate. The bill,
which has outraged many pro-immigration and Hispanic groups, was
co-sponsored by two of Mr. Bush’s Republican rivals, Senator Ted Cruz of
Texas and Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, who addressed
a Libre forum this month.
