| Yvanna Cancela offers the former vice president inroads into the Latino community — and a critical labor union. Yvanna Cancela became versed on issues of race while studying hip-hop in college, and today listens to "a whole lot" of Rick Ross, and Jay Z's "Heart of the City" on repeat. She was appointed to the Nevada Senate in 2016, becoming the first Latina to serve in the chamber, a surprise even to herself. And the 32-year-old got behind former vice president Joe Biden, who has suffered humbling losses in Iowa and New Hampshire and is counting on non-White voters to bring him back. Cancela is critical not just for her identity, but as a bridge to the powerful Culinary Union Local 226. The majority-Latino, majority-female union — with its 60,000 members and extensive grassroots political operation — could make up 10 percent of the caucus turnout. |
