From Robert Rizzuto at Mass Live:

At least one candidate running for governor will participate in the Western Mass. Puerto Rican Parade in Holyoke this Sunday as independent Evan Falchuk is slated to attend.

Falchuk, who speaks fluent Spanish, will march in the parade, which is part of the 28th anniversary of the Hispanic Family Festival in the Pioneer Valley. The parade starts at noon at the intersection of Pine Street and Resnic Boulevard.

“My father grew up in Venezuela, so my connection to Latin culture through my family and later through my work is always something that has been deeply important to me,” Falchuk said. “It’s not just because I speak Spanish; for me, it’s been a point of great pride to have the opportunity to spend time in Latin communities across Massachusetts, and participate in events like these that celebrate the wonderful cultural heritage of Latin Americans here in Massachusetts.”
