Democrats in Florida seek to win over Latinos on gun control

Annette Taddeo walked to a podium overlooking Miami’s Biscayne Bay and described to her audience how she had fled terrorism as a teenager in Colombia and now feared for the safety of her 16-year-old daughter at an American public school.

A blue and bright orange bus behind the Democratic congressional candidate carried this message in Spanish: "A future without violence."

"Latinos are here because of the American dream, and it is really hard to do that when you are worried about your kids’ safety," said Taddeo, a state senator who is challenging a Republican congresswoman, María Elvira Salazar.
