Presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke makes a stop at a Wichita coffee house

A Democratic candidate for president stopped in a Wichita coffee house on Tuesday morning to meet with Wichita Hispanic leaders, and he was spotted and photographed by a few locals.

Beto O’Rourke, a former congressman from Texas and one of almost two dozen Democratic candidates vying for a spot on the 2020 presidential ballot, was on his way from Tulsa to Des Moines, where he will appear at a town hall meeting this evening.

Angelo Rodriguez, who owns R Coffee House at 1144 N. Bitting in Riverside, said O’Rourke stopped in the cafe at about 9 a.m. and enjoyed a coffee and a cinnamon roll while he talked to several locals.

City Council member Brandon Johnson contacted Rodriguez a few days ago, he said, asking if he could bring the candidate to the shop. Rodriguez said he was happy to oblige.
