Themes of Immigration in Fedele Nominating Speech

…But not as you would expect from a GOP convention. Tony Hwang, a rising star from Fairfield and current state rep., uses the theme of an immigrant background that both he and Lt. Gov Fedele share. Fedele supporters highlight their presence after his daughter’s seconding speech with loud applause and many signs. The theme of immigration in the American dream sense continued in his video as well. If he can pull off the nomination for governor, it would be just another step on the ladder for a guy with humble roots. Perhaps stressing family values and an American dream success story is the key to standing out among a slew of jobs and business oriented speeches. It certainly is unique for this year’s fare. For a first time convention-goer and rookie at this kind of stuff, I appreciate that his themes are at the very least a refreshing change of pace.
