Rosie Perez was in Perth Amboy Saturday walking door to door to get out the vote for Mikie Sherrill for Governor. She said she came out to Jersey because Democracy is on the line. She says she is a Democrat because she never forgot growing up in poverty and how entitlement programs helped her family.
Recently she has been a guest on TCM and she is a boxing commentator. Rosie Perez has a significant presence in politics through her work as an activist for social justice, representation, and political empowerment, particularly for the Latino community. The movie star is recognized for her efforts in encouraging civic participation and advocating for Latino representation in media and politics, and was honored with a 2025 Hispanic Heritage Leadership Award for her activism.
