(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 05, 2004 ) Miami, FL -- In a year when Hispanics have demonstrated their growing role in the country's political landscape, Democratic Presidential Candidate John Kerry will sit down with Univision news anchor Jorge Ramos to answer questions about issues important to the Hispanic community. This first exclusive one-on-one nationally televised interview with a Spanish-language television network will air on Univision tomorrow, May 5 at 6:30pm (5:30pm Central) and 11:30 pm (10:30pm Central).

Among the topics to be discussed are Kerry's position on amnesty toward undocumented immigrants, the embargo on Cuba, the high dropout rate of Hispanic high school students, the war on Iraq and the U.S. economy.

"For Kerry to have chosen the Univision Network as a medium to reach U.S. voters is extremely significant since it demonstrates that politicians and presidential candidates need to speak to Spanish-language media to attract the Hispanic vote," said Jorge Ramos.

Jorge Ramos' interview can be seen tomorrow only on "Noticiero Univision," America's most-watched Spanish-language evening TV newscast.
