Meet the Mexican immigrant working at a Trump hotel and canvassing for Harris in Las Vegas
LA TimesOn the eve of the election, amid a bitter chill, Marisela Olvera, a member of the Culinary Workers Union, rapped on doors in North Las Vegas to make her pitch. The 12-year employee of Trump International Hotel Las Vegas was trying to get out the vote — not for her employer, former President Trump, but for his rival, Vice President Kamala Harris. “Kamala Harris has risen from the bottom and has achieved everything she has achieved, being a prosecutor, being vice president, and now perhaps the future president,” said Olvera, 52. “The work was really, really heavy.” Olvera fought to unionize Trump’s hotel, with that campaign launching in mid-2015, around the time Trump announced his first candidacy for president. She added that she was grateful that in this country, there’s “freedom of expression.” Olvera said she won’t talk badly about her employer, but did acknowledge what she saw as differences between the candidates.
