In this episode ofThe Oliver Bardwell Podcast, I sit down with Jose Reyes, a dedicated advocate for Iowa’s Latino community and a passionate conservative voice in politics. Jose shares his journey—from arriving in the U.S. as a child under DACA to navigating the challenges of legal status, cultural identity, and political engagement.

We dive into the complexities of immigration, the misconceptions surrounding DACA recipients, and the importance of conservative values in the Hispanic community. Jose opens up about his deep love for America, his unwavering support for the flag, and his belief that hard-working immigrants deserve acknowledgment and a pathway to citizenship.

We also discuss:
✔️ The Perry Project and engaging Latino voters
✔️ The need for representation in Iowa politics
✔️ The impact of recent immigration policies
✔️ Finding common ground in the political landscape

Jose’s story is one of resilience, faith, and an unshakable commitment to the American dream. This is an episode you don’t want to miss!
