Transcript:

[Daniel Hernandez]: I’m the son of a construction worker and a Mexican immigrant.

Public schools gave me a shot and when I was sick it was Medicaid that helped save my life.

And in 2011, when I survived a mass shooting, it opened my eyes.

Now I’m running for Congress to fight back against Donald Trump’s attacks.

Today our eyes are open, but tomorrow we’ll fight like hell.

I’m Daniel Hernandez and I approve this message.
