What:   Univision is proposing the first-ever presidential candidate debates that will focus exclusively on issues of particular interest to the Hispanic community.

Why:   The time is now for candidates to speak directly to the U.S. Hispanic community – Hispanics are the fastest growing segment of the U.S. electorate and, as such, will play a pivotal role in this presidential election.

Dates:   Sunday, September 9, 2007 (Democratic candidate debate)
              Sunday, September 16, 2007 (Republican candidate debate)

Location:   BankUnited Center at the University of Miami, in Miami, Florida

Broadcasts:   National, primetime broadcasts on the Univision Network, RadioCadena and Univision Online

Moderators:   Univision’s award-winning and highly respected network news anchors Jorge Ramos and Maria Elena Salinas

Topics:   Each 90-minute debate will focus on topics of particular importance to the U.S. Hispanic community, including education, economy, Latin American foreign policy, immigration and health care.

Format:   Univision has created a format where candidates can talk to – not just about – Hispanics and the issues that matter most to them, hosted by the network that they rely on and the news organization they trust the most.
