Paul Bridges, the Republican mayor of Uvalda, Georgia (population 594), speaks fluent Spanish and is integrally connected to Uvalda’s Latino immigrant community. This includes his close relationship with the Hernandez family, many of whom are undocumented. After the State of Georgia adopts harsh anti-immigrant laws which make it criminal to drive or house undocumented people, Mayor Bridges stands up for his community and the Hernandez family, at home, and on the national stage.
