With the election coming close, Governor Andrew Cuomo tried to attract more votes from Hispanics by taking a brief trip to the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. He explained his trip as a sign of respect for the Hispanic New Yorkers. Cuomo already has many women voters by traveling the state on a bus called the Women's Equality Express, and appealed to many Jewish voters with his visit to Israel. This trip was to help Cuomo's support with Hispanic leaders since Cuomo showed little interest in pushing for the Dream Act which would give state tuition aid to students who are not documented immigrants. Astorino, Cuomo's opponent also made his effort to appeal to Hispanic voters by speaking to them in Spanish and campaigned with State Senator Ruben Diaz Sr.
I think that it is great that Cuomo is reaching out to different groups of people that populate New York. He is showing that he truly cares about the people, unlike his opponent Astorino who is only involved in showing Cuomo's faults to the public as a way to get elected.
