Republican Candidates Presidential Forum at UM

History repeated itself on the University of Miami's Coral Gables campus Sunday, December 9, 2007. Three months after Democratic presidential hopefuls participated in a first-of-its-kind Spanish-language forum, seven Republican presidential candidates vying for their party's nomination took to the stage at UM's BankUnited Center, wooing Hispanic voters in a similar forum broadcast to millions of viewers on Univision's television, radio, and online platforms. Student volunteers had a unique opportunity to play a role in an event that received international media coverage.

Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Governor Mike Huckabee, Congressman Duncan Hunter, Senator John McCain, Congressman Ron Paul, Governor Mitt Romney, and Senator Fred Thompson debated issues ranging from education and immigration to the Iraq War, health care, and U.S. foreign policy in Latin America.
