"Joseph DiSalvo's support for communities of color is needed more than ever. Recent events make evident that those students who have been traditionally underserved need strong advocates who are willing to stand for justice and equal opportunity. I hope voters won't forget the difficult positions that Joe's taken in support of our community."
