Lebanese Man Bids To Represent Latinos In American City

I couldn’t help but smile when reading this story about a Lebanese man who barged into Latino politics in the American community of Bell in California

“Buenas tardes,” he would say as residents cracked open their doors, handing them a flier. Like his father and others in the Lebanese community, he learned Spanish assisting customers and instructing employees in the clothing stores and warehouses. Saleh was running on a campaign of public safety, fiscal prudence and quality-of-life issues like clean, safe parks and untangling traffic congestion.

No matter where they are, those pesky Lebanese just can’t leave politics alone can they?
