DES MOINES -- Julian Castro, Beto O’Rourke and Bernie Sanders took to that stage at the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines Thursday night for a town hall hosted by The League of United Latin American Citizens.

Hundreds of Latinos attended

Bernie Sanders got loudest crowd reaction

Julian Castro impressed some with immigration knowledge It was an opportunity for not only the moderators--including Spectrum News’s own Annette Gracia--but the audience to ask questions. The candidates were surrounded by hundreds of Latinos ready to cheer on their favorites.

“Should we make public colleges and universities tuition free? Yes. Well you know what, that’s what the American people believe. Is health care a human right? Yes," Sanders said.

Sanders worked the crowd and got the loudest applause of all the candidates. But, audience members said popularity isn’t enough. We spoke to a few people who said they knew nothing about Castro, but were surprised by his knowledge on issues surrounding immigration and his proposal to decriminalize border crossings – something that’s drawn criticism from some prominent Democrats.
