Who’s the Mexican American mechanic and gun-owner from Washington who thinks we should hire more police?

She's a Democrat named Marie Gluesenkamp Perez. Check out her campaign ads and coverage of her campaigns. Fascinating stuff.

Geraldo, these are all excellent topics! 3 and 4 stick out to me the most. With 3, I’m noticing a significant rise of Atheists Latinos in my composition courses writing about Catholicism and their opposition to organized religion. Many are in their early 20s bringing a whole different outlook that I think will affect Christianity as well as Islam among Latinos here. With 4, it will be interesting to see what the future holds as more interracial marriages occur among Latinos. Dr. Glen Loury had an engaging discussion on his podcast with Greg Thomas on Albert Murray’s notion of being ‘omni-American.’ Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Tomas M.

Tomas, thank you so much for these thoughts! Yes, atheism is an important part of the faith conversation. Should definitely be more talk about that. And I'll go look up the Glen Loury/Greg Thomas conversation. I really appreciate the feedback.
