Detroit — Tacos and tostadas weren’t the only items on the menu Friday at several food trucks in southwest Detroit. Patrons of the tasty fare also had the opportunity to register to vote in an event held by Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
The effort, in a neighborhood with a largely Latino population, comes two weeks after a Donald Trump supporter remarked there would be “taco trucks on every corner” unless Mexican immigration was regulated, a comment that gained national attention.
The comment by Marco Gutierrez of Latinos for Trump on MSNBC sparked criticism and the use of taco trucks in voter registration drives and political protests.
Clinton’s campaign placed volunteers Friday at eight southwest Detroit taco trucks on Vernor Highway, Dix Avenue, Springwells, Olivet and Michigan Avenue.
“Our organizing events are part of a statewide effort to make sure that Michigan residents are registered to vote ahead of the October 11 deadline, and to highlight Hillary Clinton’s message that we have to build an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top,” said Mitchell Rivard, Michigan communications director of Hillary for America. “Our coordinated campaign to elect Democrats up and down the ballot has hired a team of committed organizers that are focused on recruiting volunteers, registering voters, and turning out the vote on November 8.”
