Mr. Santiago is a great guy and understands diversity and the needs and challenges of the people in the city of Boston. I am very happy to hear this news and will definitely do what I can to help get him elected. Mr Santiago is a very fair and passionate person and in my opinion by far the best candidate in the race!!
