One of those Democrats, Representative Sylvia Garcia of Texas, is </span> </p> <p> <span> facing a competitive primary on Tuesday. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> On Monday, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus’s political action committee </span> </p> <p> <span> injected new urgency into the incumbents’ efforts to hold their seats, announcing </span> </p> <p> <span> an effort called “Luchadores” aimed at defending the four key members. The </span> </p> <p> <span> committee, BOLD PAC, argues that Latino Democrats in Congress have been </span> </p> <p> <span> crucial in fighting ICE, and that their identities and experiences are especially </span> </p> <p> <span> important to have in Congress when so many Latinos in America are afraid of </span> </p> <p> <span> being detained or deported. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> But their challengers say the incumbents have simply not been fighting aggressively enough. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> As Democrats contend with an anti-establishment backlash and accusations that their party has </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> fallen out of touch with everyday people, a wide array of incumbents face primary opponents this year. At least one </span> </p> <p> <span> progressive, Analilia Mejia of New Jersey, has already scored an upset victory </span> </p> <p> <span> against an establishment Democrat in a primary race this year. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> In some of these races, as in many others, the challengers accuse the incumbents </span> </p> <p> <span> of being ineffective, of upholding a status quo that hinders the working class and of </span> </p> <p> <span> hoovering up donations from corporate interests and through groups like AIPAC, </span> </p> <p> <span> the pro-Israel lobbying organization. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “When you get to Washington and you are bought and sold by corporate PACs and </span> </p> <p> <span> right-wing lobbies, you don’t have to actually fight with the urgency that your </span> </p> <p> <span> community demands,” said Usamah Andrabi, a spokesman for Justice Democrats, </span> </p> <p> <span> a progressive group. It helped vault Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of </span> </p> <p> <span> New York to Congress and is backing two of the challengers to Latino incumbents </span> </p> <p> <span> this year. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Aside from Mr. Espaillat, who serves as chair of the caucus, and Ms. Garcia, the </span> </p> <p> <span> other Latino House Democrats facing primary challenges include Representatives </span> </p> <p> <span> Rob Menendez of New Jersey and Jimmy Gomez of California. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC has already spent $204,000 on mail advertising defending Ms. Garcia, </span> </p> <p> <span> whose primary election is on Tuesday. The committee has amassed an $11.2 million </span> </p> <p> <span> war chest so far this year across its aggregated committees. BOLD PAC has $6.8 </span> </p> <p> <span> million in cash on hand, it said. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> In 2024, the PAC spent $485,000 defending Mr. Menendez against a different </span> </p> <p> <span> primary challenger and $3.3 million overall backing the caucus’s incumbents that </span> </p> <p> <span> year. It spent $2.8 million to help incumbents in 2022. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> This year, the four incumbents face varying degrees of competitiveness in their </span> </p> <p> <span> challenges, and the races have unique quirks. Ms. Garcia, for instance, is running </span> </p> <p> <span> in a new Houston-area district after Texas Republicans redrew the state’s </span> </p> <p> <span> congressional map last year in an effort to oust several Democratic incumbents. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Much of her Latino constituency was drawn into a different district that is </span> </p> <p> <span> expected to become an easy pickup for Republicans. Ms. Garcia is now facing </span> </p> <p> <span> Jarvis Johnson, a Democratic former state representative who is Black, in a </span> </p> <p> <span> heavily Black district. He has argued that Ms. Garcia struggled to engage voters in </span> </p> <p> <span> her old district. Last month, The Houston Chronicle described Ms. Garcia’s political </span> </p> <p> <span> career as being “in serious jeopardy,” though a poll later found her leading Mr. Johnson by double digits. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> In an interview, Ms. Garcia said that she was optimistic about her chances but </span> </p> <p> <span> concerned about the contest — given the newness of the district — and that she </span> </p> <p> <span> was campaigning until the very last moment. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> A loss, she said, would mean that the three million Latinos in the Houston region </span> </p> <p> <span> would no longer have “someone that looks like them, that shares their values, their </span> </p> <p> <span> language, their culture, their heritage.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> In New Jersey, Mr. Menendez fended off a serious competitor two years ago, </span> </p> <p> <span> running in the shadow of the case against his father, Bob Menendez, the former </span> </p> <p> <span> senator who was later convicted on bribery and corruption charges. Now the </span> </p> <p> <span> younger Mr. Menendez faces Mussab Ali, a progressive former member of the </span> </p> <p> <span> Jersey City Board of Education whose campaign is backed by Jamaal Bowman, the </span> </p> <p> <span> former New York congressman who was part of the left-wing “Squad.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Last month, Mr. Menendez emerged from an immigration detention center in </span> </p> <p> <span> Newark called Delaney Hall looking drained after hours of meeting with </span> </p> <p> <span> immigrants and checking on their legal situations and living conditions. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Delaney Hall is set up to break people,” he said. “It’s difficult to comprehend why </span> </p> <p> <span> we collectively allow this to continue, and it’s infuriating.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Mr. Menendez said he had been fighting Mr . Trump’s deportation efforts for more </span> </p> <p> <span> than a year. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “What has he done?” Mr. Menendez said of Mr. Ali. “He talks and he’ll put out </span> </p> <p> <span> Instagram videos — what has he actually done?” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Mr. Ali responded that he has been “on the ground educating immigrant residents </span> </p> <p> <span> and business owners on their rights,” and that Mr. Menendez “didn’t say ‘Abolish </span> </p> <p> <span> ICE’ until we forced it into the race.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> In Los Angeles, Mr. Gomez faced a tough re-election bid in 2024 against a </span> </p> <p> <span> progressive candidate who earned 44 percent of the vote. An AIPAC-tied group </span> </p> <p> <span> spent money defending Mr. Gomez, support that his half-dozen primary opponents </span> </p> <p> <span> this time around hope will drag him down at a time when many Democrats have </span> </p> <p> <span> turned against Israel over the war in Gaza. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> One challenger, Angela Gonzales-Torres, who has the backing of Justice </span> </p> <p> <span> Democrats, said Mr. Gomez had moved far too slowly in combating ICE — a claim </span> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC denies — and in holding workshops for immigrants to learn their legal </span> </p> <p> <span> rights. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “We need someone in office that feels and acts on the urgency of this moment,” Ms. </span> </p> <p> <span> Gonzales-Torres said. “People are calling some Democrats ‘do-nothing Democrats’ </span> </p> <p> <span> — he is one of them.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Ms. Gonzales-Torres, an activist whose father was deported to Mexico over a </span> </p> <p> <span> decade ago, said the primary battle was less about identity and more about the </span> </p> <p> <span> working class versus the establishment. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “More than the fact that both Gomez and I are Latinos, this is about real </span> </p> <p> <span> representation and respect for our people and who we are fighting for,” she said. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> It’s a similar argument made by Mr. Espaillat, just in reverse. In New York, he, too, </span> </p> <p> <span> faces a younger Latina challenger backed by Justice Democrats, Darializa Avila </span> </p> <p> <span> Chevalier. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “It’s not just being Hispanic or young — you’ve got to know the district,” Mr. Espaillat said, listing off various demographic groups in his diverse Harlem region. “And I think I know that district better than anybody else in New York City.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Mr. Espaillat said he empathized with voters’ desire for new voices. But, he said, </span> </p> <p> <span> am a new voice.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “I’m the first Dominican American elected to Congress, and the first formerly </span> </p> <p> <span> undocumented member of Congress,” he added. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> He pointed to his insurgent bona fides: unsuccessful runs more than a decade ago </span> </p> <p> <span> against Charles Rangel, a Black former congressman, and an eventual victory over </span> </p> <p> <span> Mr. Rangel’s handpicked successor — all of which irked the Congressional Black </span> </p> <p> <span> Caucus. (It is now backing Mr . Espaillat.) </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Ms. Avila Chevalier, a Ph.D. student and organizer who helped lead protests </span> </p> <p> <span> against the war in Gaza at Columbia University, said that Mr . Espaillat’s </span> </p> <p> <span> acceptance of money from AIPAC-tied groups and corporate PACs undercut his </span> </p> <p> <span> stance as a fighter. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “The incumbent, even to this day, has not said ‘Abolish ICE’ — he’s been saying ‘dismantle,’” Ms. Avila Chevalier said. “I’m not even clear what that means — it sounds like reform. This is not an institution that can be reformed.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> Kellen Browning </strong> <span> <span> </span> </span> <span> is a Times political reporter based in San Francisco. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> Mon, 02 Mar 2026 22:05:46 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/new-york-times-latino-democrats-fight-to-fend-off-upstart-challengers press release thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/politico-democrats-next-push-to-be-more-likable-with-latinos <div> <img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/RUIDO+Logo+1.png"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> <span> Original Article: </span> </span> <a href="https://www.politico.com/newsletters/playbook-pm/2026/02/18/democrats-next-push-to-be-more-likable-with-latinos-00786524" target="_blank"> POLITICO </a> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <h1> <strong> Democrats’ next push to be more likable with Latinos </strong> </h1> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> By ALI BIANCO | February 18, 2026 </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> DOWN IN THE LONE STAR STATE: </strong> <span>  You may not have heard of  </span> <strong> Carlos Eduardo Espina </strong> <span> . But there’s about  </span> <strong> 14 </strong> <span>   </span> <strong> million </strong> <span>  people across the U.S. who follow the Uruguayan-American’s Spanish content on TikTok, almost religiously. And it’s influencers like him that are forming the bedrock of the Democratic Party’s latest bet to win back Latino voters going into the midterms. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> With the primary in Texas already underway, </strong> <span>  BOLD PAC, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus’ campaign arm, kicked off a new digital-first strategy called RUIDO aimed at mobilizing Latino content creators — about 50, to start — to reach voters and get them to turn out for Democrats. It’s a new approach for a coalition of voters that has historically had abysmal turnout in off-year elections, and who often never interact with a candidate in local races or receive traditional outreach. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> “I think Democrats quickly realized, </strong> <span>  we need to reach this new set and this new demographic, or this changing demographic, of people so we can understand what they’re feeling, what they’re thinking,” Espina told your author. And doing so could mean a “new brand of the Democratic Party.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> Democrats think they have an opening </strong> <span>  with Latinos as polling  </span> <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trumps-immigration-approval-hits-new-low-according-reutersipsos-poll-2026-02-17/" target="_blank"> increasingly shows frustration with Trump’s immigration agenda </a> <span>  and with the cost of living. But there’s another problem that influencers like Espina are hoping they can help with — Democrats just haven’t been likable, he told Playbook. That much is still evident  </span> <a href="https://apnews.com/article/poll-trump-democrats-republicans-parties-abc06b4ddc9b3aca7065ead47d43c75b" target="_blank"> in the latest AP-NORC polling </a> <span>  that shows positivity hasn’t bounced back in parts of the party compared to 2024. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> It was creators like Espina </strong> <span>  who started sounding alarms within the party back in 2021 that Latino voters were souring on the Biden administration’s immigration agenda. The shift of voters toward Trump — especially in Texas, where Espina lives — was something he saw coming for years. But these Latinos aren’t “permanent Trump voters,” as Espina put it, and can be reached through a more community-focused approach to politicking. Latinos especially  </span> <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/tiktok-growth-hispanics-latinos-platforms-users-rcna136817" target="_blank"> are among the biggest consumers </a> <span>  of social media like TikTok. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> “It’s very interesting how I’ve been </strong> <span>  able to break into a very non-political crowd,” Espina said. “My audience is not watching MS NOW. They’re not watching CNN.” The idea is a creator like Espina works with candidates to encourage early voting, to promote their message in Spanish and raise visibility across platforms like TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.

But there’s about  </span> <strong> 14 </strong> <span>   </span> <strong> million </strong> <span>  people across the U.S. who follow the Uruguayan-American’s Spanish content on TikTok, almost religiously. And it’s influencers like him that are forming the bedrock of the Democratic Party’s latest bet to win back Latino voters going into the midterms. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> With the primary in Texas already underway, </strong> <span>  BOLD PAC, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus’ campaign arm, kicked off a new digital-first strategy called RUIDO aimed at mobilizing Latino content creators — about 50, to start — to reach voters and get them to turn out for Democrats. It’s a new approach for a coalition of voters that has historically had abysmal turnout in off-year elections, and who often never interact with a candidate in local races or receive traditional outreach. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> “I think Democrats quickly realized, </strong> <span>  we need to reach this new set and this new demographic, or this changing demographic, of people so we can understand what they’re feeling, what they’re thinking,” Espina told your author. And doing so could mean a “new brand of the Democratic Party.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> Democrats think they have an opening </strong> <span>  with Latinos as polling  </span> <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trumps-immigration-approval-hits-new-low-according-reutersipsos-poll-2026-02-17/" target="_blank"> increasingly shows frustration with Trump’s immigration agenda </a> <span>  and with the cost of living. But there’s another problem that influencers like Espina are hoping they can help with — Democrats just haven’t been likable, he told Playbook. That much is still evident  </span> <a href="https://apnews.com/article/poll-trump-democrats-republicans-parties-abc06b4ddc9b3aca7065ead47d43c75b" target="_blank"> in the latest AP-NORC polling </a> <span>  that shows positivity hasn’t bounced back in parts of the party compared to 2024. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> It was creators like Espina </strong> <span>  who started sounding alarms within the party back in 2021 that Latino voters were souring on the Biden administration’s immigration agenda. The shift of voters toward Trump — especially in Texas, where Espina lives — was something he saw coming for years. But these Latinos aren’t “permanent Trump voters,” as Espina put it, and can be reached through a more community-focused approach to politicking. Latinos especially  </span> <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/tiktok-growth-hispanics-latinos-platforms-users-rcna136817" target="_blank"> are among the biggest consumers </a> <span>  of social media like TikTok. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> “It’s very interesting how I’ve been </strong> <span>  able to break into a very non-political crowd,” Espina said. “My audience is not watching MS NOW. They’re not watching CNN.” The idea is a creator like Espina works with candidates to encourage early voting, to promote their message in Spanish and raise visibility across platforms like TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. The influencers can then provide feedback to the party about what their followers say actually matters to them. “It’s in the very early stages, but I think it’s a great step in the right direction,” he said. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> The program’s aim </strong> <span>  is to lock in voters ahead of the general election, rather than waiting until crunch time in the fall when candidates start releasing Spanish ads. “Whatever votes turn out, you’re banking those votes for Election Day,” Rep.  </span> <strong> Jimmy Gomez </strong> <span>  (D-Calif.), one of the leaders at BOLD PAC, told Playbook. “It’s great that they’re doing this, because in order to win, we got to go where the voters are at.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> Republicans are also doubling down </strong> <span>  on their own push to keep Latino voters in their corner come Election Day, a Republican strategist, granted anonymity to discuss party strategy, told Playbook. “Do I think it changes anything?” they said of Democrats’ social media approach, “no, absolutely not.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> Just one day into early voting, </strong> <span>  there’s early signs that Democrats’ activation strategy may be paying off: the early vote among Latinos yesterday was 8 points higher than the first day of early voting in the last election cycle, BOLD PAC told Playbook.

The Houston launch event, held in the city’s North Side, featured </span> <strong> RUIDO Co-Chair Jimmy Gomez (CA-34), Houston Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia (TX-29), Carlos Espina, and 9 Houston-based Latino creators </strong> <span> <span> with a combined social media reach of hundreds of thousands. Texas state legislators, including Senator Carol Alvarado, and Reps. Christina Morales, Penny Morales-Shaw, Armando Walle, and Mary Ann Perez also joined the launch. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> “After 2024, Democrats can’t keep doing the same thing and expect different results,” said </span> <strong> CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda T. Sánchez. </strong> <span> <span> “RUIDO meets Latino voters where they are—on their phones and through trusted voices in their communities. Rather than waiting until a few weeks before a general election, it starts the conversation with Latino voters early, building excitement and turning early voting into a cultural norm starting in primaries.” </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> RUIDO, Spanish for “noise,” flips the traditional campaign playbook. Rather than treating social media as just another advertising channel, the program builds grassroots digital-organizing infrastructure by recruiting Latino influencers to serve as online community organizers. Creators receive strategic messaging guidance and use their unique voices and perspectives to talk to their audiences about why voting early matters.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> RUIDO is led by program Co-Chairs Representatives </span> <strong> Jimmy Gomez (CA-34), Sylvia Garcia (TX-29), Maxwell Frost (FL-10), and Delia Ramirez (IL-03) </strong> <span> , who are working to expand Latino voter engagement through innovative, culturally competent organizing strategies. </span> </p> <p> <strong> <br/> Latino content creators are encouraged to apply to join RUIDO’s cohort by signing up at </strong> <span> <span>   </span> </span> <a href="http://boldpac.com/RUIDO" target="_blank"> <strong> www.boldpac.com/RUIDO </strong> </a> <strong> . </strong> </p> <p> <span> <br/> “We know that Latino voters who participate in primaries and vote early are far more likely to show up again in the general election and vote early,” said </span> <strong> RUIDO Co-Chair Congressman Jimmy Gomez. </strong> <span> <span> “Early voting becomes a habit, and habits build momentum. When someone posts that they voted early, that’s more than just content—it’s social proof that encourages their friends and followers to do the same.” </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> “Our generation gets it—the most powerful organizing tool is someone your community already trusts. RUIDO is built on something I've seen firsthand: when young Latinos see someone who looks like them, and talks like them, and says 'I voted early,' it hits differently than any ad ever could. This program isn't about messaging </span> <span> at </span> <span> <span> people—it's about building a movement with them, one post, one story, one conversation at a time,” said </span> </span> <strong> RUIDO Co-Chair Congressman Maxwell Frost.  </strong> </p> <p> <span> <br/> “In communities like mine, voting is a way in which we can protect our families and fight for the resources our neighborhoods deserve. But too often, campaigns only show up in October asking Latinos for their vote. RUIDO changes that. By partnering with creators who are already part of the fabric of our communities, we're making sure Latino voters aren't an afterthought—they're an essential part of the strategy. Early voting starts with trust, and trust starts with showing up early,” said </span> <strong> RUIDO Co-Chair Congresswoman Delia Ramirez. </strong> </p> <p> <span> <br/> The program operates in two phases. The first phase, this spring, focuses on building early voting habits during the primary season through creator-driven content and early vote launch events in competitive congressional districts. The second phase, after the primaries, will expand the network to drive general election turnout by leveraging early primary voters to post to social media.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Research from </span> <a href="https://equisplaybook.com/" target="_blank"> Equis </a> <span> <span> Research shows that Latinos and Latinas are most likely to get news and information from Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok—platforms where traditional campaign tactics don’t reach. Pew Research </span> </span> <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/fact-sheet/social-media-and-news-fact-sheet/" target="_blank"> confirms </a> <span> <span> that Hispanic and Latino Americans are more likely than white Americans to regularly get news from YouTube, Instagram, and WhatsApp. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Latino voters are now the nation’s second-largest voting bloc, with 36.2 million eligible voters, but early-voting rates consistently lag behind those of other demographics. “The path to flipping the House in 2026 runs through Latino communities,” said </span> <strong> Chairwoman Sánchez </strong> <span> . “Boosting turnout in competitive districts is not optional—it’s essential to win back power for the people and hold Trump and his administration accountable.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> ### </strong> </p> <p> <span> <br/> CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

Ramírez representa el futuro del liderazgo demócrata: un futuro construido en las personas por encima del poder, en salarios dignos y en un lugar donde la Constitución y el estado de derecho garantizan que nadie esté por encima de la ley ni del sistema legal. <br/> <br/> “Los demócratas están listos para recuperar la Cámara de Representantes, y Lisa Ramírez será una pieza clave en el distrito CA-40”, </span> </span> <strong> afirmó la presidenta Linda Sánchez. </strong> <span> “Lisa representa lo mejor de nuestra comunidad: trabajo duro, servicio y un profundo compromiso con la igualdad de oportunidades y la justicia. Es el tipo de líder que luchará por nuestros valores y conseguirá que este escaño tan importante pase a manos demócratas”. <br/> <br/> “Es un honor contar con el apoyo de CHC BOLD PAC en nuestra lucha por restaurar la compasión, el debido proceso y la responsabilidad en nuestro sistema de inmigración. He visto de primera mano cómo la imprudente agenda de deportaciones de Trump ha destrozado familias y, al igual que muchos en nuestra comunidad, me niego a permanecer en silencio”, </span> <strong> afirmó Lisa Ramirez </strong> <span> . “En el Congreso, me opondré al extremismo y trabajaré para ofrecer soluciones reales que mantengan a nuestras familias seguras, unidas y respetadas ante la ley”. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Lisa Ramírez es una abogada especializada en inmigración conocida por ayudar a liberar a un padre migrante detenido con tres hijos marines estadounidenses. La falta de garantías procesales por parte de la Administración en su campaña contra la inmigración ha motivado a Ramírez a presentarse como candidata y luchar por su comunidad. <br/> <br/> El distrito 40.º de California es uno de los principales campos de batalla para los demócratas en su camino hacia la recuperación de la mayoría en la Cámara de Representantes.

The latest data from </span> </span> <a href="https://www.claritycampaigns.com/"> Clarity Campaign Labs </a> <span> <span> confirms what supporters across Arizona already know: Marlene has what it takes to defeat MAGA Republican Gina Swoboda and flip this seat blue. </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Despite Donald Trump carrying AZ-01 by 3 points in 2024, the new poll shows that Trump’s brand is now underwater in the district—and so is Swoboda’s. Meanwhile, Galán-Woods enters the race with stronger name recognition, higher favorables, and a decisive lead among independents. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> The full polling memo is available </strong> <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mv8EHWdA9ZWXKeyrmlpxudIM7z23cCJH/view?usp=drive_link" target="_blank"> <strong> here. </strong> </a> <strong>   </strong> </p> <p> <strong> <br/> </strong> </p> <p> <strong> Key Highlights: </strong> </p> <ul> <li> <span> Marlene begins with a stronger foundation than Swoboda. Galán-Woods’ favorability is net positive (+1%), while Swoboda is already underwater at net -5%. </span> </li> <li> <span> Marlene’s profile resonates strongly with a general electorate. Galán-Woods leads Swoboda 48% to 40% after voters learn about both candidates. <br/> </span> </li> <li> <span> Marlene’s profile is especially powerful among independent voters. Galán-Woods’ support with independents is more than double that of Swoboda and she leads 54% to 25%. </span> </li> <li> <span> Marlene also picks up substantial crossover support from Republicans, which will be critical to flipping this seat, winning 10% of Republicans against Swoboda. </span> </li> </ul> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Arizona’s first district will be key for flipping the House in 2026, and Marlene is not just competitive, she’s ahead,” </span> <strong> said CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez. </strong> <span> “Voters are rejecting Trump’s extremism and rallying behind a Latina leader who understands their everyday struggles. Democrats lost this seat by just 3.8% in 2024, and Latinos make up 16.4% of this district. It’s clear that we can flip this seat with a leader that Latino voters can believe in.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> AZ-01 is a top-tier pickup opportunity for Democrats, and this poll shows that margin is within reach. Galán-Woods’ momentum reflects broader shifts across Latino and swing voters in Arizona. It’s clear that Trump’s extreme tactics have gone too far, and Latino voters are the key to flipping AZ-01.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “The path to taking back the House runs through women like Marlene Galán-Woods,” </span> <strong> said Rep. Lois Frankel, Chair of Elect Democratic Women. </strong> <span> <span> “Marlene has built a strong coalition of supporters who know she’ll always stand up to extremists, work to lower costs, and fight for Arizonans. Voters are ready to send a mom, journalist, and fighter to Congress.” </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC and EDW are fully committed to flipping AZ-01 and elevating Marlene’s campaign as the national model for how Democrats can win in tough districts—by building broad, multiracial, multigenerational coalitions rooted in shared values and economic fairness. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> About Marlene Galán-Woods </strong> </p> <p> <span> Marlene Galán-Woods is a former broadcast journalist and mother of five who has lived in Arizona for the past 36 years. Her parents fled communist Cuba looking for a better life. Their risk paid off and allowed Marlene to pursue her career as an investigative journalist, which brought her to Arizona. She met the love of her life, Grant Woods, and they raised a family together before he passed away in 2021. Marlene is running for Congress to stand up to extremists and be a voice for all Arizonans. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Marlene is the only woman and Latina in the race. Last cycle, when Marlene ran for Congress, Republicans spent thousands of dollars against her in the Democratic primary because they knew she was the Democrat who could win and flip this seat in the general election. Marlene’s growing coalition includes endorsements from EMILYs List, AZ Attorney General Kris Mayes, former AZ Governor Janet Napolitano, and multiple labor unions. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> About CHC BOLD PAC </strong> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and is dedicated to increasing diversity in the House and Senate by helping more Latinos get elected.

Su apoyo demuestra lo crucial que es esta contienda para recuperar la mayoría en la Cámara en 2026,” afirmó </span> </span> <strong> Manny Rutinel. </strong> <span> <span> “Como hijo orgulloso de una madre soltera que emigró a este país con el sueño de una vida mejor, he sido testigo de los sacrificios que hacen las familias trabajadoras para ofrecerles a sus hijos y seres queridos un mejor futuro. Me llena de orgullo y honor unirme a estos líderes latinos que han luchado por comunidades como el 8.º Distrito Congresional de Colorado y que seguirán dando esa lucha a través de nuestra campaña.” </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Manny Rutinel se postula como candidato en el Distrito Congresional 8 de Colorado, donde casi el 40% de la población es hispana. Está comprometido con mejorar las comunidades de Colorado como abogado y legislador estatal. Manny está listo para aportar su experiencia al Congreso, luchando por las familias trabajadoras y asegurando que todos los habitantes de Colorado tengan voz en Washington. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> Robin Peguero, candidato al Distrito Congresional 27 de Florida </strong> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> “BOLD PAC apoya con entusiasmo a Robin Peguero para el 27.º distrito congresional de Florida. Robin representa lo mejor de Miami: es hijo de inmigrantes y un procurador que ha dedicado su vida a la justicia, a la equidad y a retribuir a la comunidad que lo vio crecer. Ha dedicado su carrera a poner tras las rejas a delincuentes y depredadores para que nuestras calles sean más seguras. Robin seguirá luchando por las familias trabajadoras, protegiendo a su comunidad y obteniendo resultados reales para el sur de Florida,” afirmó la </span> </span> <strong> presidenta Linda Sánchez.  </strong> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> “Me enorgullece recibir el respaldo de BOLD PAC. Como estadounidense de primera generación, conozco las dificultades que enfrentan las familias trabajadoras, como tener que escoger entre pagar la renta o ir al médico,” afirmó </span> </span> <strong> Robin Peguero. </strong> <span> <span> “Todos tienen una historia que contar y voy a luchar cada día para asegurarme de que los floridanos tengan la oportunidad de escribir la suya.” </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Robin Peguero es un procurador y funcionario público estadounidense de primera generación que ha dedicado su carrera a mantener la seguridad de las comunidades encarcelando a delincuentes y depredadores. Se postula como candidato en el distrito 27 del sur de Florida, donde el 74 % de la población es hispana. Robin se compromete a garantizar que todas las familias del sur de Florida tengan la oportunidad de salir adelante, sin importar su origen. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Estos tres candidatos son clave para la estrategia electoral de CHC BOLD PAC para 2026. La representación latina en el Congreso garantiza que las políticas reflejen e incluyan a la comunidad.

Marlene Galán-Woods (AZ-01), JoAnna Mendoza (AZ-06), Denise Powell (NE-02), Carol Obando-Derstine (PA-07) represent some of the most competitive races in the country – all in districts with sizable Latino populations – and are key to delivering that victory.  <br/> </span> </p> <p> <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/16gHFGN81iMkGdg9_GljVLs9p062D_kZY/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank"> <strong> WATCH THE VIDEO REMARKS HERE </strong> </a> </p> <p> <span> <br/> With Republicans bringing the government to a halt—jeopardizing health care for millions of Americans and stopping pay for federal workers—BOLD PAC’s Latina candidates made it clear: they’re stepping up to clean up the chaos. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> As Republicans like David Schweikert (AZ-01) and Don Bacon (NE-02) head for the exits, Latina candidates are stepping in to flip their seats and deliver stability, compassion, and common-sense leadership for their communities. </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <br/> “With Republicans shutting down the government, it’s women—especially Latina women—who are standing up and saying: enough,” said </span> </span> <strong> Chairwoman Linda T.

They fled to come to the United States of America to experience freedoms to come for opportunity, and those are the same freedoms that Trump and Republicans are threatening,” </span> <strong> said Marlene Galán-Woods, candidate for AZ-01 </strong> <span> . “Health care for children, for our veterans, and for seniors is all at risk because MAGA Republicans, once again, chose to shut down the government instead of protecting Americans' health care. It's shameful. So let's be clear, Republicans own this shutdown. I am so proud to be part of this powerhouse group of Latina candidates backed by BOLD PAC. Let's flip this seat. Let's win back the House of Representatives.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> “As a Marine Corps drill instructor, I had the honor of making the next generation of Marines. I know what servant leadership looks like. The only thing scarier than a United States Marine is a mom, and I am both,” </span> <strong> said JoAnna Mendoza, candidate for AZ-06 </strong> <span> . “The oath I took to defend this country does not expire, and I will not sit back while spineless politicians play games with our lives. I will fight to protect health care, lower costs, and deliver for working families across southern Arizona. That's why I am answering the call to serve again.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> “Washington Republicans have made one thing very clear: they’d rather shut down the government than make sure that the people here in my district and Americans all across the country can afford health care. This is completely reckless, and here in my state, that's almost 100,000 people who are going to lose their coverage or have their insurance premiums double,” </span> <strong> said Denise Powell, candidate for NE-02.  </strong> <span> “I'm a fired-up mom that is running for Congress because our communities are really hurting right now, and they deserve better than this mess that Republicans have created for us in DC.” <br/>   </span> </p> <p> <span> “Our families are already paying the price for this Republican shutdown. Monthly healthcare premiums are rising, and the average enrollee is seeing an increase in premium costs. But here’s the thing, I don't walk away from a challenge. I've cleaned up messes before, and I approach issues head-on,”  </span> <strong> said Carol Obando-Derstine, candidate for PA-07 </strong> <span> . “When I get to Congress, I'll never forget who I'm there to serve. We only need to flip three seats to take back the House in 2026 with the support of CHC BOLD PAC and this powerful slate of Latina candidates.

Music blasted from speakers as volunteers — most of them clad in navy blue “All in for Adelita” shirts— ate treats from a local Mexican bakery in the parking lot and waited for their marching orders.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The canvass kickoffs typically have a theme to rile up volunteers before they head out to the streets. This day, the rallying cry was around reproductive rights.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Grijalva gave a speech to the small crowd, describing how her 18-year-old daughter, Adelina, briefly had fewer reproductive rights than her great-grandmother. She was referring to a window of time last year, when the state Supreme Court upheld a near total abortion ban from 1864, when Arizona was still a territory. In November, voters enshrined the right to an abortion in the state constitution. “That is something that we can’t go backwards on,” she told the small crowd. “We are going to have to fight for things that have already been fought for.”  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> In a district where 52 percent of voters are Latinx, supporters see Grijalva as someone who not only understands the importance of defending reproductive rights, but also the rights of immigrants at a time when both are under threat.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> “Our rights are being stripped in every aspect of our lives, from the ICE raids, especially in this immigrant community, but even with abortion rights being rolled back,” said Jacqueline Ortiz, a volunteer with the campaign. “I think a lot of Democrats, especially young liberals, are a little bit frustrated with how our party has not taken an offensive position, and we’ve been on the defensive. And I know that she’s just going to hit the ground running in Congress to actually do something to fight against the immigration raids, for abortion rights.”  </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Grijalva is expected to cruise to victory in the solidly blue 7th District in a Tuesday special election and become the first Latina ever elected to Congress from Arizona. She’s up against Republican candidate, Daniel Butierez, a political newcomer, who has mostly self-funded his campaign. It’s a significant milestone for representation in a state that has the fourth largest share of Latinx voters, and where Latinx voters’ growing political power has made them a decisive bloc ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Latinx voters make up a quarter of all eligible voters in the state. Their numbers have more than doubled since 2000, a rate that is expected to continue outpacing non-Latinos. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Latinas, specifically, play a critical role for Democrats. Latinas register and turn out at higher rates than Latinx voters overall and they tend to favor Democrats by larger margins than Latino men. Latinas represent 1 in 5 women voters in Arizona.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “For the longest time in Arizona, the people that did the work and were behind the scenes have been women, particularly in movement and in electoral politics,” said Alejandra Gomez, the executive director of Living United for Change, or LUCHA, a Democrat-aligned advocacy group that represents working-class Arizonans and works to expand Latinx political participation.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “Through all of the work and years of women really sacrificing and being servant leaders, now we have the opportunity to have a woman lead.”  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Grijalva is running to fill the seat held by her father, former Rep. Raúl Grijalva, who died in March. He was known for his early activism in the Chicano rights movement, and later for his pro immigration stances in office, as well as his focus on environmental justice.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Grijalva became the Democrats’ nominee after fending off a challenge from Deja Foxx, a 25-year-old reproductive rights activist who captured the attention of young progressives through her social media outreach.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> To run for office, Grijalva stepped down from her position on the Pima County Board of Supervisors, a job that she was hesitant to leave. She also worried about how the new role would impact her family. But lurking in the back of her mind she knew that it was something her dad always wanted to see. “I heard it from every friend of his on the Hill. ‘Your dad always said he was just waiting until you were ready.’”  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Victoria McGroary, executive director of BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, which backed Grijalva in the primary, said Latinx representation matters in this heavily Latinx border district.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “There are so many amazing Latina leaders in the state, and we’re just so excited that Adelita finally gets to be the one to smash that glass ceiling and really make history for the state.” </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> As Regina Romero, the first Latina mayor of Tucson put it at the canvass event: “It’s pretty incredible that we’re still celebrating the first ‘Latina’ here in our community. What that tells me is there are a lot of impediments to getting women involved in the political process, and especially [for] Latinas, and women of color.” </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> U.S. congressional candidate Adelita Grijalva will be Arizona’s first Latina in Congress if she is elected. (Rebecca Noble/Getty Images) </span> </p> <p> <span> It’s also not lost on Grijalva what it would mean for her to be the first. “It’s very humbling. It is a huge honor and a huge responsibility. I want people to see me in these positions and say, ‘if she can do it, I can do it and push for change in their own communities,’” she said.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> After the kickoff, Grijalva returned to her office, where behind her were reminders of why she’s running in the first place. In a window nook, a small painting and a bobblehead of her father is on display, flanked by prayer candles and paper flowers.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> It’s still hard for Grijalva to talk about her father’s passing, and she tears up when asked how she’s doing. She’s running a campaign amid that grief because she feels a responsibility to protect his environmental legacy. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> At the same time, she made clear in an interview that she has her own priorities to spearhead if she’s elected to Congress — ones that are distinct from her father’s and speak to her identities as a woman and mother. “The issues that I feel I’m going to want to champion are different. I want universal preschool,” she said. “I want people to keep their hands off of reproductive health.” </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “Some of the fights will be the same,” she said. “[Indigenous] sovereignty is going to be very important, and environmental justice is going to be incredibly important.” </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> McGroary said Grijalva will play a critical role messaging to Latinx voters in Arizona headed into next year’s midterm elections.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <span>  </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> In 2024, Donald Trump won the state by 5.5 percent, winning an absolute majority of the vote, which no presidential candidate had managed to do in the state since Mitt Romney in 2012. Arizona’s 7th District includes voters who live in the counties of Yuma and Santa Cruz, which shifted 14 and 17 points toward the GOP from 2020 to 2024, respectively, according to an analysis by The New York Times.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> A report from the analytics firm Catalist estimates support among Latinx voters was 54 percent for then-Vice President Kamala Harris, compared with 46 percent for Trump, a narrower gap between the Democratic and Republican candidate than in past presidential elections. The same report estimates that about 60 percent of Latinas backed Harris, a 17-point drop since 2016. As for Latino men, support was lower at 47 percent, a 14-point since 2016.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> In the same election, however, Arizona voters elected Democrat Ruben Gallego to the U.S. Senate.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Grijalva has spent time touring the district, stopping in border communities like Yuma, where much of the country’s winter vegetables like lettuce is grown by migrant farmworkers, and Sells, on the Tohono O’odham Nation, a reservation that straddles the U.S.-Mexico border.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> She said voters are worried about the state of U.S. democracy, immigration, the economy, and cuts being made under Trump to Social Security and Medicare.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> In speaking to Arizonans on both sides of the aisle she’s hearing calls for immigration reform. It’s an issue she plans to work on while in Congress. She also hopes to elevate the stories of community members that can combat the narrative being pushed by the right depicting undocumented immigrants as criminals.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “There is a woman being detained right now, who has three businesses here in Tucson that are threatened to be closed down, she hires 70 people,” she said. “It’s telling those individual stories of how this policy and lack of process is impacting all of our communities repeatedly.” </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> She also hopes to hold a bipartisan hearing on the impact of border patrol on the Tohono O’odham Nation. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Outside of immigration, she’s focused on the rising cost of living, which McGroary said is a top issue for Latinas. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “Latino families are talking about costs, they are talking about job security,” McGroary said. “They are talking about, how do we make ends meet?” </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “Adelita is really focused on that, and I think that just speaks volumes to sort of the issues that Democrats should really be focused on,” McGroary added. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Gomez said that Grijalva’s election and her focus on the “pain points” of a community she understands really well will help her reach out to voters who may not have supported Democrats this past election. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “We’re living in a really complicated political terrain, and you need someone that believes that everyone deserves to be represented,” Gomez said. “That is Adelita.” </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> </div> Fri, 19 Sep 2025 13:59:49 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/why-tuesdays-special-election-in-arizona-marks-a-milestone-for-latinas-in-politics press release thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/icymi-denise-powell-calls-out-trumps-power-grab-on-redistricting <div> <img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/Bold-Logo.png"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <strong> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:  </strong> </p> <p> <strong> September 11, 2025 </strong> </p> <p> <strong> Contact: </strong> <span> <span> valeria@chcboldpac.com  </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> ICYMI: Denise Powell Calls Out Trump’s Power Grab on Redistricting </strong> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> WASHINGTON, DC - </strong> <span> <span> In case you missed it, as Trump and MAGA continue to push new schemes to redraw Nebraska’s congressional districts.

The Texas House committee expected to vote on the plan by Saturday, allowing the full House to vote as early as Tuesday, before going to the Senate. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Democrats have few options for thwarting the Republican plan during a 30-day special session called by GOP Gov. Greg Abbott, and calls for offsetting efforts in Democratic states intensified among Democrats outside Texas. Democratic legislators in Texas can walk out, go to another state and prevent either chamber from conducting but would face fines — and also block relief for victims of deadly flash flooding last month in the state’s Hill Country. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Republicans disputed that their plan dilutes the power of Black and Hispanic voters to elect candidates of their choosing and said it could give them better representation by uniting some communities that previously have been split. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> But the new lines likely would make it harder for four Hispanic incumbents and two Black incumbents to retain their seats in 2026. The Texas delegation would go from a 25-13 split in the GOP’s favor to a 30-8 advantage. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “I’ve never seen anything this brazen, this broken and this spineless,” said former Democratic U.S. Rep. Colin Allred, who’s running for the U.S. Senate. “If you do this, we’ll see you in court and at the ballot box.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> Defending the map and partisan motivations </strong> </p> <p> <span> Texas once was required by the 1965 Voting Rights Act to submit its redistricting plans to the federal government for review because of its past history of discrimination, but the U.S. Supreme Court declared in 2013 that the requirement was outdated and unconstitutional. The act requires states to have the number of districts in which minority voters can elect a candidate reflect their percentage of the population. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> The GOP plan creates five new districts without any incumbents, and sponsoring Republican state Rep. Todd Hunter noted that in four of them, at least half of the voting-age U.S. citizens are minorities, and there would be 10 Hispanic-majority districts, rather than the current nine. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “It’s a good plan for Texas,” Hunter said. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Hunter acknowledged that the lines were being redrawn “for partisan purposes,” which he said is allowed by the U.S. Supreme Court. He said a law firm was consulted as the map was being drawn. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Other Republicans testified in favor of the plan for other reasons, many of them mayors or local party chairs. Melinda Preston, Denton County’s GOP chair, said the new maps will reflect the booming population in the state of 30 million. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> The redistricting push could move to other states </strong> </p> <p> <span> Democrats argued that if Republicans succeed in redrawing the districts in Texas, Trump will push other states to redraw theirs before they’d normally do so, which would be in 2031 or 2032, after the next nationwide census. States are required to adjust the lines at least once every 10 years to keep the districts as equal in population as possible after population shifts. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> That’s led Democrats in California and New York to consider redrawing their states’ lines to help Democrats, though each state has an independent commission for drawing the lines. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly, chair of the Democratic Governors Association, also said Democratic governors should retaliate, if they can. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “We need to respond in kind, which I think we do to protect the American people,” Kelly said Friday at news conference during a DGA meeting in Madison, Wisconsin. “I hate the fact that we’re here, that we even have to consider something this drastic.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> Why walking out is hard for Democrats </strong> </p> <p> <span> Texas is unusual in requiring two-thirds of members to be present for the House or Senate to conduct business. That rule would allow Democrats, particularly in the House, where they hold 62 of 150 seats, to shut the chamber. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> But Democrats haven’t publicly promised to do that, though they’ve used the tactic in the past. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> House members now face a fine of $500 each day they’re absent, and the chamber’s rules prohibit lawmakers from tapping campaign funds to pay them. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> In addition, the chamber also couldn’t consider flood relief proposals — which Democrats have insisted should be the focus of the special session. Democratic state Rep. Rhetta Bowers accused Abbott and his fellow Republicans of holding that relief hostage so they could “slice up Black and Latino communities just to please Donald Trump.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Let me be clear: We will not allow flood relief to be used as a bargaining chip for racially rigged maps,” Bowers said during a briefing for reporters and others. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> How the map could change the partisan balance </strong> </p> <p> <span> Under the exiting lines, which were in place for the 2022 and 2024 elections, Republicans won all of their seats in districts carried by Trump by at least 10 percentage points. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Democrats won all 11 districts carried by Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, and Democratic Reps. Henry Cuellar and Vincente Gonzalez won reelection in districts that Trump won by less than 10 points. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> If the GOP’s proposed map had been in place in 2024, Harris would have won eight districts, and Trump would have won the other 30 by at least 10%. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> In San Antonio, Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro would be drawn out of a safe blue district into one that Trump would have won by nearly 22 points. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> And in Houston, Democratic Rep. Al Green would live in a majority-Hispanic district — but 72% of the Black voters he now represents would not. He would go from being in a district that Harris carried by 44 percentage points to one Trump would have carried by 15 points — with a GOP incumbent. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “This is not democracy,” Amanda McLaughlin, a North Texas resident, said. “Is it worth destroying Texas to give the president five more seats?” </span> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> Fri, 01 Aug 2025 18:11:53 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/the-washington-post-democrats-say-a-gop-plan-to-redraw-house-districts-in-texas-harms-black-and-hispanic-voters press release thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/bold-pac-texas-gops-redistricting-push-suppresses-the-latino-vote <div> <img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/Bold-Logo.svg"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <strong> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:  </strong> <strong> <br/> July 30, 2025 <br/> Contact:  </strong> <a href="mailto:valeria@chcboldpac.com" target="_blank"> valeria@chcboldpac.com </a> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <strong> <br/> </strong> <strong> BOLD PAC: Texas GOP’s Redistricting Push Suppresses the Latino Vote </strong> </p> <p> <span> Republicans Would Rather Change Maps Than Face Voters </span> </p> <p> <strong> <br/> WASHINGTON, D.C. –  </strong> <span> Today, BOLD PAC, the political arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, issued the following statement in response to the newly proposed Texas congressional map that carves up Latino communities in Texas to protect Republicans and silence working families. <br/> <br/> “Republicans know the American people don’t support their agenda that steals from working families to give tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy and demonizes Latino communities,”  </span> <strong> said Chairwoman Linda Sánchez. “ </strong> <span> Their solution? Change the maps so they don’t have to face the voters. The Texas GOP’s redistricting scheme is about one thing: silencing Latino communities so Republicans can escape accountability. It’s cynical, it’s cowardly, and it’s un-American. Latino voters will not be sidelined. BOLD PAC stands firmly against voter suppression and is doubling down on our commitment to ensure that our communities are seen, heard, and well represented in Congress.” <br/> <br/> The proposed map is effectively suppressing Latino voters in Texas, most egregiously suppressing Latino voters by merging Rep. Greg Casar’s TX-35 district with TX-37. At a time when the Trump Administration is pushing an anti-American agenda that puts Latinos in the United States at risk, we must stand up for Hispanic communities and their Latino Members of Congress who are being targeted. <br/> <br/> In South Texas, the new lines undercut Latino-majority districts that are central to the Democratic coalition.  </span> <strong> TX-34 (Rep. Vicente Gonzalez) and TX-28 (Rep. Henry Cuellar)  </strong> <span> are targeted for being border Democrats who won Trump districts. <br/> <br/> The map is a calculated move to protect far-right incumbents who supported tax handouts for billionaires while opposing relief for working families. Rather than earn support, Republicans are redrawing the rules to rig the outcome. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> ### </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress. Since its founding, BOLD PAC has more than doubled the size of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. </span> <strong> <br/> <br/> <br/> </strong> <strong> PARA DISTRIBUCIÓN INMEDIATA:  </strong> <strong> <br/> 30 de julio de 2025 <br/> Contacto: </strong> <span>   </span> <a href="mailto:valeria@chcboldpac.com" target="_blank"> valeria@chcboldpac.com </a> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <strong> <br/> BOLD PAC: El Plan de Redistribución del Partido Republicano de Texas Suprime el Voto Latino </strong> </p> <p> <span> Los Republicanos Prefieren Cambiar el Mapa que Enfrentar a los Votantes </span> </p> <p> <strong> <br/> WASHINGTON, D.C. </strong> <span>  – Hoy, BOLD PAC, el brazo político del Congressional Hispanic Caucus, emitió la siguiente declaración en respuesta al nuevo mapa propuesto para los distritos congresionales de Texas, que divide comunidades latinas para proteger a los republicanos y silenciar a las familias trabajadoras. <br/> <br/> “Republicanos saben que los Americanos no apoyan su agenda–una que le quita a las familias trabajadoras para regalar recortes fiscales a los ultra ricos y demoniza a los comunidades latinas,”  </span> <strong> dijo la Presidenta Linda Sánchez. </strong> <span>  “El solucion? Cambiar el mapa para no tener que enfrentar a los votantes. El plan de redistribución de distritos del Partido Republicano de Texas tiene un solo objetivo: silenciar a las comunidades latinas para evadir rendir cuentas. Es cínico, cobarde, y antiamericano. Los votantes latinos no serán marginados. BOLD PAC se opone firmemente a la supresión del voto y redobla nuestro compromiso para asegurar que nuestras comunidades sean vistas, escuchadas, y representadas con dignidad en el Congreso.”  <br/> <br/> El mapa propuesto está suprimiendo efectivamente a los votantes latinos en Texas, sobre todo al combinar el distrito TX-35 del Congresista Greg Casar con el TX-37. En un momento en que la Administración Trump está impulsando una agenda antiamericana que pone en peligro a los latinos en los Estados Unidos, debemos defender a nuestras comunidades y a sus representantes en el Congreso que están siendo atacados.  <br/> <br/> En el sur de Texas, las nuevas líneas debilitan distritos de mayoría latina que son esenciales para la coalición demócrata.  </span> <strong> TX24 (Congresista Vincente Gonzáles) y TX-28 (Congresista Henry Cuellar) </strong> <span>  son en blanco del rediseño por ser demócratas en la frontera que ganaron en distritos que Trump ganó.  <br/> <br/> Este mapa es un intento calculado de proteger a los congresistas de extrema derecha que votaron por regalos fiscales para multimillonarios mientras se opusieron a alivios para las familias trabajadoras. En lugar de ganarse el apoyo, los republicanos están reescribiendo las reglas para manipular los resultados.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> ### </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> CHC BOLD PAC, el brazo de campaña del Congressional Hispanic Caucus, fue fundado en 2001 con el objetivo de aumentar la representación latina en el Congreso.

Sixty-one percent said immigration and deportation policies "mattered a lot," followed by inflation and the economy. <br/> <br/> Overall, the poll puts Trump's approval rating at 42%, with disapproval at 58%. The survey previously found Trump's approval rating was 45% in June and 47% in mid-April. <br/> <br/> In contrast, the second-term president's aggregate ratings from The New York Times and Real Clear Politics show a 44% and 45.5% approval, respectively, and a 53% and 52% disapproval. <br/> <br/> In the latest CBS poll, 56% disapproved of the president's immigration stances, while 44% approved. That's a 10-point drop from polling at the beginning of Trump's second term in February, the outlet reported. <br/> <br/> The poll specifically asked respondents about the administration's mass deportation efforts.

Less than half − 49% − of respondents said they approved of the deportations in July, compared to 59% in February. <br/> <br/> "Approval of the deportation program has slipped over these months to become slightly net-negative now, with support becoming more exclusively drawn from Republicans and MAGA identifiers," CBS said after the results were released July 20. <br/> <br/> Support for Trump's immigration policies is split among party lines. Nearly all Republicans surveyed − 91% − say they approve of the president's deportation program. Among Democrats, 14% say they approve, while a majority – 86% – disapproved. Among independents, 59% were against the deportations and 41% were for them. <br/> <br/> The administration's use of detention facilities saw similar results in the July poll, with 58% opposed and 42% in favor of their use.

The election results and what the campaign saw on the ground made it clear that Arizonans were looking for a change candidate, and Adelita Grijalva fit the bill given her respected track record in the district.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <strong> BOLD PAC Spokesperson Valeria Ojeda-Avitia: </strong> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “Voters turned out in higher numbers than anyone expected —her community showed up for her.

As of Thursday, 54,159 Democratic ballots have been counted (with more left to be counted) - putting this race on track to surpass the roughly 55,000 votes cast in the 2024 Democratic primary, which took place during a presidential election year. Unlike 2024, this was the only race on the ballot.  </span> <strong> Voters didn’t just show up - they made a deliberate choice to cast their vote for Adelita. </strong> </p> <p> <strong> <br/> Key Points </strong> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <ul> <li> <strong> Adelita’s support was districtwide and observed across demographics, especially among young people. </strong> <span>  Adelita earned a strong majority of support in all six counties across AZ-07. Her social media often featured the dozens of “Youth for Adelita” volunteers who showed up to volunteer on a political campaign for the first time. Some also penned local opinion pieces (read here and here). </span> </li> <li> <strong> Adelita focused on the issues that the voters of AZ-07 are facing every day under the Trump administration.  </strong> <span> She focused on lowering costs and fighting corporate greed, protecting public education and social services like Medicaid, defending immigrant families, and fighting for climate and environmental justice. </span> </li> <li> <strong> “All politics is local.”  </strong> <span> Adelita’s roots in the community and the relationships she’s forged over more than 20 years in public service is what earned her the levels of support she received on Election Day. It also earned her the support of Arizona leaders spanning from Senator Kelly, Senator Gallego, and former Congresswoman Giffords to tribal leaders, mayors, county supervisors, and city council members throughout the district. </span> </li> <li> <strong> A grassroots campaign. </strong> <span>  Social media is of increasing importance but it does not replace grassroots organizing. In just 120 days, the Grijalva campaign mobilized 1,400 volunteers who knocked on 40,000 doors and made over 320,000 phone calls. That directly led to high levels of turnout. </span> </li> <li> <strong> A progressive victory. </strong> <span>  Adelita ran on an unapologetically progressive agenda, embracing a people-centered message focused on taking on corporate greed, standing up for immigrants, and protecting our environment. </span> </li> <li> <strong> Adelita is poised to make history  </strong> <span> as the first Latina Member of Congress from Arizona if successful in the General Election on September 23. </span> </li> </ul> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <strong> Debunking the “establishment” myth </strong> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <ul> <li> <span> The only thing “establishment” about Adelita is that she is established in the community. </span> </li> <li> <span> As she wrote in a recent op-ed, the words “Grijalva” and “establishment” never appeared in the same sentence until 2025 unless “fighting the” was inserted between. </span> </li> <li> <span> Congressman Raúl M. Grijalva was the longest serving chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus - frequently cast as an outsider from the Democratic Party. </span> </li> <li> <span> He was the first member of Congress to endorse Bernie Sanders when he ran for president in 2016. </span> </li> <li> <span> Voters know the Grijalva name not just because it’s familiar, but because it represents decades of fighting for Southern Arizona. Adelita earned voters’ trust by living those values every day for the past 20+ years serving her community. </span> </li> <li> <span> This race was also fundamentally different from the recent NYC mayoral primary election. While both races featured candidates with well-known last names, that’s where the similarities end. </span> </li> <li> <span> The Cuomo name stood for establishment politics and centrist views. The Grijalva name represents a progressive movement grounded in community and a decades-long fight for justice. </span> </li> <li> <span> Many of the same players in the coalition that backed Mamdani supported Adelita: Bernie Sanders, AOC, and the Working Families Party, as well as progressive organizations with deep roots in the community such as LUCHA and Rural Arizona Action. </span> </li> <li> <span> Like Mamdani, Grijalva had a massive ground game that allowed her to communicate directly with voters face-to-face. </span> </li> </ul> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <strong> Focusing on the Issues </strong> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <ul> <li> <span> Above all else, voters care about the issues, and Adelita won because of the values and policies she’s consistently fought for, serving her community, leading a juvenile diversion program, as a school board member, and as a Pima County Supervisor. </span> </li> <li> <span> In a border district that is suffering from Trump’s inhumane immigration policies, her lifelong record of standing with immigrant families clearly resonated. </span> </li> <li> <span> While Trump slashed resources for working people to fund tax cuts for the wealthy, Adelita has always championed public education, affordable healthcare, housing, and a strong social safety net. </span> </li> <li> <span> Like her dad, she’s also been a steadfast advocate for environmental justice - fighting pollution in working-class neighborhoods, standing up for tribal sovereignty, and demanding accountability for the health and safety of our communities. </span> </li> </ul> <p> <strong> _____________________________________________________________ <br/> <br/> ### </strong> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <strong> CHC BOLD PAC,  </strong> <span> the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

A partir del jueves, 54,159 votos demócratas se han contabilizado (con más para contar) - poniendo esta elección en camino de superar los aproximadamente 55,000 votos emitidos en la primaria demócrata de 2024, que tomó lugar durante un año de elecciones presidenciales. A diferencia de 2024, esta era la única elección en la boleta electoral. Los votantes no se presentaron sin más, sino que decidieron deliberadamente votar a favor de Adelita. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <strong> Puntos clave </strong> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <ul> <li> <strong> El apoyo a Adelita se extendió por todo el distrito y se observó en todos los demográficos, especialmente entre los jóvenes.  </strong> <span> Adelita obtuvo una fuerte mayoría de apoyo en los seis condados de AZ-07. En sus redes sociales, un gran número de voluntarios de “ </span> <a href="https://adelitaforcongress.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4efffbdef3b238a45f56f3bb2&amp;id=4a0b3ef4c2&amp;e=bc16abbe37" target="_blank"> Jóvenes para Adelita </a> <span> ”, se presentaron en una campaña política por primera vez.

En solo 120 días, la campana de Grijalva movilizó a 1,400 voluntarios que visitaron 40,000 puertas e hicieron más de 320,000 llamadas telefónicas.

Raúl Grijalva, to fill his former seat in a September special election, The Associated Press projects. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Grijalva, a former member of the Pima County Board of Supervisors, won Tuesday’s special Democratic primary ahead of Deja Foxx, a 25-year-old activist, and former state Rep.

Foxx took a swipe at Grijalva at a debate last month, saying she was not born “on a path” to Congress and has no “legacy last name.” </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Foxx also won backing from former Democratic National Committee vice chair David Hogg's PAC, Leaders We Deserve, which is aiming to back younger candidates in Democratic primaries this election cycle. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Grijalva said in an interview this month that experience should matter more than age. </span> </p> <p> <span> “It’s frustrating to me how experience is being seen as a negative,” Grijalva said, adding: “I’m a little surprised that in a Democratic primary, in a party that really should be working to inform people and not spread misinformation — that was not something that I was prepared for.” </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/people/Adelita-for-Congress/61574766515847/" target="_blank"> Speaking to supporters on election night </a> <span> , Grijalva said the campaign "was not about an individual, it was not about social media likes, it was about knocking on doors, face to face with community members having real conversations." She soon added: "I am so thankful that my dad taught us all that this is how we do this work." </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Though Grijalva is older than Foxx, at 54, she would still be younger than more than half of her colleagues in the House if she is elected. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Before she served on the county board of supervisors, Grijalva was a longtime member of the Tucson school board and directed a nonprofit juvenile diversion program. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Raúl Grijalva won 12 terms representing the area in Congress before he died in March at age 77. </span> </p> <p> <span> <span>  </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> Adelita Grijalva will face Republican Daniel Butierez in the Sept. 23 special election.

A lifelong public servant and education leader, Adelita ran on a bold platform to stop harmful tariffs and wasteful border militarization that divide communities and skyrocket inflation, support legislation that expands utility, internet, and health premium assistance programs to lower costs for families, and put more money in the pockets of working Arizona families by making the rich pay their fair share to increase the Earned Income and Child Tax Credits. <br/> <br/> “Adelita is now on her way to make history as the first Latina to represent Arizona in Congress,” said  </span> <strong> BOLD PAC Chair Rep.

Adelita will fight Trump’s economic chaos by stopping harmful tariffs and wasteful border militarization that divide our communities and skyrocket inflation. She’ll promote affordable housing by making homeownership possible for first-generation buyers and investing in revitalizing our neighborhoods. And, she’ll defend Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and the VA—because no one should have to choose between a doctor’s visit and putting food on the table.” <br/> <br/> BOLD PAC is proud to have endorsed Adelita Grijalva and will continue working to ensure she joins the growing ranks of Latina champions in Congress. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <strong> ### </strong> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <strong> CHC BOLD PAC </strong> <span> , the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

At a time when the Latino community is on the front lines of the Trump administration’s war on our rights, it remains critical in the fight for our democracy that we ensure that Latino representation in Congress remains strong. <br/> <br/> “Across the country, hardworking Latinos are being demonized every day simply for speaking Spanish or walking out their front door. Latinos are afraid to go to work or pick their kids up from school, fearing that they will be detained or sent to a country they don't even know. <br/> <br/> “Donald Trump and his MAGA allies will do everything in their power to silence the Latino community, from pushing for mass deportations to calling for ALL Latinos to be sent to 'Alligator Alcatraz'. That’s why this race matters. Adelita Grijalva has spent decades fighting for the Latino community in Arizona – from helping court-involved youth to advocating for greater investments in Tuscon’s public schools and defending bilingual curriculum from attacks from the Arizona State Legislature. She is ready to take that fight to Congress. She’s the only candidate who knows first hand the challenges that Latinos face and the only candidate who will ensure that our community is well represented. <br/> <br/> “Anyone who sees Arizona's 7th district as anything other than a fight for Latino representation in America is enabling all those who seek to disenfranchise our community and silence our voices. BOLD PAC stands proudly with Adelita and won’t stop fighting until our communities are treated as essential, not expendable,” said  </span> <strong> Chairwoman Linda Sánchez. <br/> <br/> ABOUT ADELITA GRIJALVA </strong> <span> <br/> Adelita Grijalva is a lifelong public servant, advocate, and resident of Southern Arizona. She grew up with her two sisters on the south side of Tucson, graduating from Pueblo High School. She went on to earn a degree in Political Science from the University of Arizona. <br/> <br/> Beyond her career in elected office, Adelita has had a long history of public service. Prior to being elected to the Pima County Board of Supervisors, Adelita worked at Pima County Teen Court for more than 25 years, where she helped court-involved youth and their families through a restorative juvenile diversion program. A strong believer in the power of public-private partnerships to drive positive change, Adelita currently serves on the boards of several community organizations, where she continues to advocate for equity, collaboration, and opportunity. <br/> <br/> Adelita was first elected to public office in 2002, when she was elected to the Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) Governing Board, the largest school-district in Tucson and the second-largest district in Arizona. There, as a volunteer elected official, she led the successful effort to significantly expand pre-school availability at TUSD schools, fiercely defended Mexican-American Studies and bilingual curriculum from attacks by the Arizona State Legislature, and advocated for investments in public schools in historically overlooked communities. <br/> <br/> Most recently, Adelita Grijalva served on the Pima County Board of Supervisors, representing District 5. She was first elected to the Pima County Board of Supervisors in 2020, becoming the first Latina, and only the second woman, to serve as Chair. She was re-elected by the voters in 2024, earning more than 73% of the vote. During her time as a Pima County Supervisor, Adelita developed a reputation for bringing people together to address the biggest issues facing Southern Arizona including affordable housing, environmental protection and climate resiliency, and healthy and safe communities. Among her key accomplishments as a Supervisor were starting the county’s first free preschool program for low and middle income families, championing historic investments in affordable housing, and protecting open spaces to ensure that future generations can continue to enjoy the beautiful Sonoran Desert. Adelita lives in Tucson with her husband Sol and is a proud mom of three children, Adelina, Raúl and Joaquín. She is the proud daughter of Congressman Raúl Grijalva. </span> <strong> <br/> <br/> CHC BOLD PAC BOLD PAC </strong> <span>  is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and is dedicated to increasing diversity in the House and Senate by getting more Latinos and Latinas elected.

Está lista para llevar esa lucha al Congreso. Es la única candidata que conoce de primera mano los retos a los que se enfrentan los latinos y la única que garantizará que nuestra comunidad esté bien representada. <br/> <br/> “Quienes no entiendan que esta contienda en el 7º distrito de Arizona es, ante todo, una batalla por la representación latina en el Congreso, están permitiendo que se silencie nuestra voz y se ataque nuestro poder político.

Posteriormente, obtuvo una licenciatura en Ciencias Políticas de la Universidad de Arizona. <br/> <br/> Más allá de su carrera en cargos electos, Adelita cuenta con una larga trayectoria en el servicio público. Antes de ser elegida a la Junta de Supervisores del Condado de Pima, trabajó durante más de 25 años en el Tribunal de Menores del Condado de Pima, donde apoyó a jóvenes involucrados en el sistema judicial y a sus familias a través de un programa de justicia restaurativa y desvío juvenil. Firme creyente en el poder de las alianzas público-privadas para impulsar cambios positivos, Adelita actualmente forma parte de las juntas directivas de varias organizaciones comunitarias, donde continúa abogando por la equidad, la colaboración y las oportunidades para todos. <br/> <br/> Adelita fue elegida por primera vez a un cargo público en 2002, cuando ganó un puesto en la Junta de Gobierno del Distrito Escolar Unificado de Tucson (TUSD), el distrito escolar más grande de Tucson y el segundo más grande de Arizona. Allí, como funcionaria electa voluntaria, lideró con éxito el esfuerzo para ampliar significativamente el acceso a programas preescolares en las escuelas del TUSD, defendió con firmeza los Estudios México-Americanos y el currículo bilingüe frente a los ataques de la Legislatura estatal de Arizona, y promovió inversiones en escuelas públicas ubicadas en comunidades históricamente desatendidas. <br/> <br/> Más recientemente, Adelita Grijalva formó parte de la Junta de Supervisores del Condado de Pima, representando al Distrito 5. Fue elegida por primera vez en 2020, convirtiéndose en la primera Latina —y apenas la segunda mujer— en presidir la Junta. Fue reelecta por los votantes en 2024 con más del 73 % del voto. Durante su tiempo como supervisora, Adelita se destacó por su capacidad de unir a distintos sectores para enfrentar los retos más importantes del sur de Arizona, incluidos la vivienda asequible, la protección ambiental y resiliencia climática, y comunidades saludables y seguras. Entre sus logros clave como supervisora se encuentran la creación del primer programa gratuito de preescolar para familias de ingresos bajos y medios en el condado, la promoción de inversiones históricas en vivienda asequible, y la protección de espacios abiertos para que las futuras generaciones puedan seguir disfrutando del hermoso Desierto de Sonora. <br/> <br/> Adelita vive en Tucson con su esposo Sol y es una orgullosa madre de tres hijos: Adelina, Raúl y Joaquín.

Gerry Connolly on the panel, which provides oversight of the Trump administration. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> WASHINGTON — Democrats on Tuesday elected Rep. Robert Garcia of California as their leader on the House Oversight Committee, installing a fresh, young face in one of the party’s key roles to take on President Donald Trump. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> It marks a rapid ascent for Garcia, 47, in only his second term in Congress. Some lawmakers have served decades on Capitol Hill and never become a committee chairman or ranking member. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Garcia would be in line to chair the powerful Oversight and Government Reform Committee if Democrats win control of the House in next year's midterm elections. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> "It is an opportunity for us to continue holding the corruption of Donald Trump accountable and also doing incredible work on government reform," Garcia told reporters after his victory. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> "Efficiency is not DOGE.

Gerry Connolly, D-Va. </a> <span> , on the Oversight Committee. But two of them — Reps. Kweisi Mfume of Maryland and Jasmine Crockett of Texas — dropped out after poor showings in a vote Monday night in the Democratic steering committee, a little-known but influential panel closely aligned with Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and his leadership team. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The steering panel overwhelmingly recommended Garcia for the job. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> That left just two candidates in the final vote Tuesday before the full Democratic caucus: Garcia and Rep. Stephen Lynch, of Massachusetts, 70, one of the most senior members of the Oversight Committee who had been serving as acting ranking member after Connolly took a leave of absence in April. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The result of the closed-door secret ballot was 150 votes for Garcia and 63 votes for Lynch, according to two sources in the room. </span> </p> <p> <span> <span>  </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> Even before the steering committee vote, there were signs that Garcia was building momentum. The Congressional Hispanic Caucus, a large voting bloc, formally endorsed Garcia and aided his whip operation. And he also had broad support from members in the Progressive Caucus; Equality Caucus, composed of LGBTQ+ members; and the 43-member California delegation, the largest in the party. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> "Robert is cool and calm under the storm, and I think we need that very steady, calm person to lead the Oversight Committee.

In Southern California, he founded a local news site, the Long Beach Post, before he was elected to the City Council there in 2009. Garcia served as Long Beach mayor from 2014 until 2022, when he won election to succeed Rep. Alan Lowenthal, D-Calif., who did not seek re-election. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> "Robert Garcia is a coalition builder.

It spends an eye-watering amount our country can ill afford and directs almost all of that money to the wealthiest while cutting critical services for low- and middle-income Americans. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The bill’s  </span> <a href="https://povertycenter.columbia.edu/publication/2025/economic-costs-cutting-snap" target="_blank"> significant </a> <span>  cuts to  </span> <a href="https://www.kff.org/affordable-care-act/issue-brief/how-will-the-2025-reconciliation-bill-affect-the-uninsured-rate-in-each-state-allocating-cbos-estimates-of-coverage-loss/" target="_blank"> health care </a> <span>  and  </span> <a href="https://www.feedingamerica.org/advocate/snap" target="_blank"> food programs </a> <span>  have drawn the most attention. But even a tax provision included to help families, by increasing the child tax credit, would block the neediest households from receiving new benefits while piling on more aid for those with higher incomes. </span> </p> <p> <span> We study poverty, taxes and the safety net, and we have researched the child tax credit for years. Under current policy, the credit promises families up to $2,000 per child annually. In reality,  </span> <a href="https://povertycenter.columbia.edu/publication/2024/children-left-behind-by-the-child-tax-credit-in-2023" target="_blank"> 1 in 4 children nationwide </a> <span>  cannot receive this full </span> <strong>   </strong> <span> amount. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The reason: The credit requires a minimum income level to qualify at all and then slowly scales up with family income until hitting the maximum amount. This “ </span> <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/12/03/why-do-democrats-love-trapezoids/" target="_blank"> trapezoid </a> <span> ” structure leaves children in low- and moderate-income families ineligible for the full credit. H.R. 1 not only keeps this structure but also ensures that many households with two working parents would receive no additional help from the expanded credit. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Under current law, a two-adult, two-child family needs a household income of at least $36,000 to receive the full $4,000 child tax credit for their children ($2,000 each). H.R. 1 would raise the maximum credit to $2,500 per child. A two-adult, two-child family could, in theory, gain up to $1,000. But because the bill doesn’t change the credit’s formula, it would make it harder for families to access the higher credit. The same size family would need an additional $12,000 in income, or at least $48,000 total, to receive the full $5,000 credit for their two children ($2,500 each). </span> </p> <p> <span> <span>  </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> This effectively locks families with incomes below $60,000 out of any meaningful gains. Nationwide, 22 million children —  </span> <a href="https://povertycenter.columbia.edu/publication/2025/children-left-behind-by-child-tax-credit-house-reconciliation" target="_blank"> 1 in 3 </a> <span>  — would be ineligible for the full $2,500 credit. The majority of those children, 17 million, would see nothing at all from the credit increase, while 5 million would see only a partial increase. That means families with higher incomes, up to $400,000, would reap the full benefit, while families just scraping by would not. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Under current law, a two-adult, two-child family needs a household income of at least $36,000 to receive the full $4,000 child tax credit for their children ($2,000 each).

Not only that, but many of the 1 in 3 children who would see no gains from the expanded credit are also in households at risk of losing  </span> <a href="https://www.urban.org/research/publication/changes-snap-could-reduce-student-access-free-school-meals" target="_blank"> food assistance </a> <span>  and  </span> <a href="https://www.commonwealthfund.org/blog/2025/deep-medicaid-spending-cuts-put-health-care-coverage-risk-one-five-enrolled-children" target="_blank"> health insurance </a> <span>  because of the bill’s other changes.

Alex Padilla was shoved to the ground and handcuffed, videos show, the latest partisan clash over Los Angeles immigration raids and protests. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> A Democratic senator from California was forcibly removed and handcuffed after he interrupted a news conference held Thursday by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem, setting off another political clash over the Trump administration sending troops to quell protests over immigration raids in Los Angeles. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> In videos reviewed by The Washington Post, Sen. Alex Padilla (D-California) can be heard interjecting about six minutes into Noem’s opening remarks at the news conference inside Los Angeles FBI headquarters: “Secretary, I want to know why you insist on exaggerating and embellishing …” Within a few seconds, the videos show federal agents start to forcibly shove the senator toward the exit. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “I’m Senator Alex Padilla, I have questions for the secretary. Because the fact of the matter is, a half a dozen violent criminals that you’re rotating on your …” he said as he was pushed out of the room. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Democrats far and wide — including House and Senate members, California leaders and former presidential nominee Hillary Clinton — decried Padilla’s treatment. It is the latest escalation in growing tensions between the two parties — not just over the L.A. protests but also over a contentious GOP bill focused on President Donald Trump’s legislative priorities, which could provide $140 billion for the president’s border and immigration crackdown while cutting social programs and taxes for the wealthy. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> The Trump administration has encouraged federal authorities, including members of the military, to exert power over protesters in L.A. in its attempts to quell civil unrest. There have been hundreds of arrests by law enforcement officials since demonstrations began late last week, most by local law enforcement but some by federal agents. And earlier this week, Trump went so far as to call for California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s arrest without specifying any alleged criminal wrongdoing or charges. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Republican leadership and Trump administration officials have insisted Padilla’s removal was a result of him barging into the room, not identifying himself and failing to comply with law enforcement. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> There is no audible evidence of repeated asks or warnings from officers for Padilla to back away in videos reviewed by The Post. As officers tried to move him out of the room, Padilla identified himself, saying, “I am Senator Alex Padilla” — eight seconds after first attempting to interrupt Noem. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Speaking to reporters after the incident, Padilla said he was waiting for a scheduled briefing from federal officials when he learned about Noem’s news conference. He said he then went to the news conference to “hear if I could learn any new, additional information” about the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement actions. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “I was there peacefully. At one point, I had a question and so I began to ask a question. I was almost immediately forcefully removed from the room. I was forced to the ground, and I was handcuffed. I was not arrested. I was not detained,” Padilla said. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “If this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question, you can only imagine what they’re doing to farmworkers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country,” he added. “We will hold this administration accountable.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> On Fox News’s “The Story with Martha MacCallum,” Noem described Padilla as having “burst into the room” and “lunging toward the podium” as she was speaking. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Noem met with Padilla after the news conference for 15 minutes, telling Fox that his removal centered on the fact that law enforcement officers present during her news conference did not know who he was. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “If he would have requested a meeting, I would have loved to have sat down and had a conversation with him,” she added. “ … We exchanged phone numbers. We’ll continue to talk and share information. … I wish he would have acted that way in the beginning instead of creating a scene like this.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Speaking to CNN’s Erin Burnett later Thursday, Padilla maintained that he did not “barge into the room” or “lunge at anybody.” During his meeting with Noem, the senator told Burnett, he did not receive an apology. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> The FBI said in a statement that Secret Service agents assigned to Noem “were assisted” by FBI police during the apprehension. DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin asserted that Padilla was not compliant with officers’ commands and that the U.S. Secret Service “thought he was an attacker.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Senator Padilla chose disrespectful political theatre and interrupted a live press conference without identifying himself or having his Senate security pin on as he lunged toward Secretary Noem,” McLaughlin said in a statement. “Mr. Padilla was told repeatedly to back away and did not comply with officers’ repeated commands.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Padilla does not appear to be wearing a “Senate security pin” in photos and videos taken during the incident. During the physical scuffle with officers, Padilla’s blue jacket is pulled to the side and a stylized image of the Senate chamber’s “Eagle and Shield” with “U.S. Senate” in white are visible on his navy blue shirt. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson similarly claimed that the senator “stormed a press conference, without wearing his Senate pin or previously identifying himself to security, yelled, and lunged toward Secretary Noem.” </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> </div> Thu, 12 Jun 2025 19:27:48 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/the-washington-post-democratic-senator-forcibly-removed-from-dhs-news-conference-as-tensions-flare press release thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/chc-bold-pac-launches-bold-truth-video-series-to-combat-misinformation-and-expose-the-republican-chaos-machine <div> <img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/Bold-Logo+TRUTH.png" alt=""/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <strong> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: </strong> </p> <p> <span> May 19, 2025 </span> </p> <h3> <span> Contact: </span> <span> <span> </span> </span> <a href="mailto:press@chcboldpac.com" target="_blank"> press@chcboldpac.com </a> </h3> <h3> <span> <br/> </span> </h3> <h3> <span> CHC BOLD PAC Launches BOLD Truth Video Series to Combat Misinformation and Expose the Republican Chaos Machine </span> </h3> <h3> <span> <br/> </span> </h3> <p> <strong> Washington, D.C. – </strong> <span> <span> Today, CHC BOLD PAC – the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus – launched BOLD Truth, a video series aimed at combatting misinformation and speaking directly to voters about what is happening in Washington.

</strong> </p> <p> <strong> <br/> WASHINGTON, D.C. </strong> <span> <span> – As part of its commitment to expanding Latino representation in Congress, CHC BOLD PAC is proud to endorse JoAnna Mendoza for Arizona’s 6th Congressional District. A Marine Corps veteran, single mother, and the daughter of farmworkers, Mendoza embodies the grit and resilience of working families across Arizona. In just 60 days, she raised over $810,000—an impressive display of grassroots strength and undeniable momentum. Mendoza is the candidate to flip this seat and defeat Juan Ciscomani. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> “JoAnna Mendoza is exactly the kind of leader Washington needs right now – tough, tested, and rooted in community,” </span> </span> <strong> said CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez </strong> <span> . “She has served our country with honor, and now she’s answering the call to serve again. </span> </p> <p> <span> Juan Ciscomani has spent his time in Congress pushing a dangerous far-right agenda, siding with MAGA extremists, and putting party loyalty over the needs of Arizonans. JoAnna is a battle-tested Marine and a proven leader who knows what true service means. She has what it takes to flip this seat and fight for Arizona’s working families.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> "I’m honored to have the support of BOLD PAC — a powerful voice for Latino representation and working families,” </span> </span> <strong> said JoAnna Mendoza </strong> <span> . “As a proud Latina, Marine veteran, and native Arizonan, I know what it means to fight for opportunity and equity. In Congress, I'm looking forward to standing with BOLD to deliver for our communities and ensure every family gets a fair shot.” </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <strong> ABOUT JOANNA MENDOZA </strong> </p> <p> <span> <br/> JoAnna Mendoza is a Marine veteran, dedicated public servant, and single mother who has spent her life fighting for her country and her community. Raised in a rural Arizona farming community, she learned the values of hard work and resilience from an early age. Her family often struggled to make ends meet, relying on safety-net programs, shaping her deep commitment to public service. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> At 17, JoAnna joined the Marines, where she served multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. She became a Drill Instructor, training the next generation of service members. After 20 years of honorable service, she continued her public service as a congressional staffer, a school board member, and a veteran advocate.

JoAnna es una veterana de la Marina, mamá soltera e hija de trabajadores de campo. Ella representa el valor y la perseverancia de las familias trabajadoras de Arizona.

Toda su vida ha luchado por su comunidad y su país. Creció en una zona rural de Arizona, en una familia trabajadora del campo, donde aprendió desde niña el valor del trabajo duro y la resiliencia. Su familia muchas veces tuvo que apoyarse en programas de ayuda del gobierno, lo que la motivó a dedicar su vida al servicio público. </span> </p> <p> <span> A los 17 años, JoAnna se unió a la Marina, donde fue enviada varias veces a Irak y Afganistán. También fue entrenadora de nuevos reclutas. Después de 20 años de servicio con honor, continuó ayudando a su comunidad como asistente en el Congreso, miembro de la junta escolar y defensora de los veteranos. En el Congreso, JoAnna será una luchadora incansable por las familias trabajadoras, las comunidades rurales, los veteranos, la educación, la salud y la protección del medio ambiente en Arizona. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <strong> CHC BOLD PAC </strong> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC es el brazo de campaña del Caucus Hispano del Congreso (CHC) y se dedica a aumentar la diversidad en la Cámara y el Senado logrando que más latinos y latinas sean elegidos.

She took part in two campaign events to rally support for working families and protect reproductive rights. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “As early voting kicks off, Nebraskans have the power to shape the future.

But the significance of NE-02 stretches beyond the House, as this district has the potential to shape the Presidential election as well. Nebraska does not award electoral college votes statewide, but rather by congressional district. NE-02 holds a single electoral college vote, which President Biden won in 2020. Once again, NE-02 voters will have the chance to shape the future of both Congress and the White House.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Sánchez’s weekend in Nebraska was marked by two key events that energized voters and highlighted the Democratic Party’s commitment to families in the Midwest: </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <ul> <li> <span> IBEW Labor Canvass Kickoff with Tony Vargas: </span> <span> <span> As the first woman IBEW member elected to Congress, Chairwoman Sánchez stood alongside Nebraska congressional candidate </span> </span> <span> Tony Vargas </span> <span> <span> , one of </span> </span> <span> BOLD PAC’s endorsed candidates </span> <span> <span> and a </span> </span> <span> top pick-up opportunity for House Democrats </span> <span> <span> this cycle.

Participó en dos eventos de campaña para apoyar a las familias trabajadoras y proteger los derechos reproductivos. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> "Al comenzar la votación anticipada, la comunidad de Nebraska tiene el poder para modelar el futuro.

Pero la importancia de NE-02 va más allá de la Cámara, ya que este distrito tiene el potencial de influir en la elección presidencial. Nebraska no otorga los votos del colegio electoral a nivel estatal, sino por distrito congresional. NE-02 tiene un solo voto del colegio electoral, que el presidente Biden ganó en 2020. Una vez más, los votantes de NE-02 tendrán la oportunidad de moldear el futuro tanto del Congreso como de la Casa Blanca. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> El fin de semana de Sánchez en Nebraska estuvo marcado por dos eventos clave que motivaron a los votantes y resaltaron el compromiso del Partido Demócrata con las familias del Medio Oeste: </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <ul> <li> <span> <span> Lanzamiento de la Campaña Laboral del IBEW con Tony Vargas: </span> </span> <span> <span> Como la primera mujer miembro del IBEW elegida al Congreso, la presidenta Sánchez se unió al candidato al Congreso de Nebraska, </span> </span> <span> Tony Vargas </span> <span> <span> , uno de los </span> </span> <span> candidatos apoyado por BOLD PAC </span> <span> <span> y una de </span> </span> <span> <span> las mejores oportunidades de los demócratas para ganar </span> </span> <span> en esta elección </span> <span> .

Esta iniciativa continuará manteniendo a los MAGA mentirosos responsables de su agenda extremista y anti-latina que busca dañar a nuestras comunidades. </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Mayra Flores dice representar al sur de Texas, pero sus acciones cuentan una historia muy diferente. Una y otra vez, ha demostrado que está desconectada con las necesidades y prioridades de nuestras comunidades. Desde atacar los derechos de las mujeres hasta debilitar la seguridad económica, sus políticas peligrosas son una amenaza directa para las familias latinas. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> “El Our Lucha War Room es el primer espacio de respuesta rápida que tiene a los latinos en mente desde el principio y en su núcleo. Nuestro objetivo es crear contenido de respuesta rápida que brinde información precisa a la comunidad latina para desmentir las mentiras dirigidas hacia ellos. Las familias latinas merecen conocer la verdad sobre los republicanos extremistas que dirán cualquier cosa para conseguir su voto. Mayra Flores ha dejado claras sus prioridades—apoyando a Donald Trump en lugar de defender a las familias latinas trabajadoras que dice representar,” </span> </span> <span> dijo Victoria McGroary, Directora Ejecutiva de CHC BOLD PAC </span> <span> . “BOLD PAC seguirá luchando para asegurarse de que las voces del sur de Texas sean escuchadas y no sean silenciadas por las mentiras y divisiones de MAGA Mentirosa Mayra Flores.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> EL ANUNCIO "AMENAZA" SE PUEDE VER EN </span> <span> <span> </span> </span> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adaSmMpBLO8" target="_blank"> INGLÉS </a> <span> <span> Y </span> </span> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NIVKi74QnI" target="_blank"> ESPAÑOL </a> <span> . </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> <div> <img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/Screen+Shot+2024-09-23+at+4.27.03+PM.png" alt=""/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> Guión del anuncio "Amenaza" </span> </p> <p> <span> <span>  </span> </span> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> MAGA Mayra Flores es una amenaza para las familias del sur de Texas- </span> </p> <p> <span> Y nuestro futuro. </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> Flores votó en contra de reducir el costo de las medicinas, como la insulina a treinta y cinco dólares.  </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> Haciendo la vida más cara. </span> </p> <p> <span> Y Flores apoya la prohibición total del aborto.  </span> </p> <p> <span> Aun cuando la vida de la madre está en peligro. </span> </p> <p> <span> Mayra Flores  </span> </p> <p> <span> Demasiado peligrosa para las familias del sur de Texas.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> La agenda extremista de MAGA Mayra Flores dañará a las familias del sur de Texas </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Dejemos las cosas claras: esto es lo que Mayra Flores no quiere que sepas sobre sus políticas dañinas: </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <ul> <li> <span> Flores quiere prohibir el aborto </span> <span> <span> : Ella está promoviendo una agenda que quitaría a las mujeres su derecho a tomar sus propias decisiones de salud, poniendo vidas en riesgo y poniendo en peligro el bienestar de las mujeres y familias latinas en el sur de Texas.

If elected, Nellie will make history as the first Latina to represent New Jersey in Congress, and BOLD PAC is proud to endorse her.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <br/> "I am deeply honored to receive the endorsement of CHC BOLD PAC," </span> </span> <span> said Nellie Pou </span> <span> . "Growing up, my family worked hard to make ends meet, and I know firsthand the challenges our working families face. I’ve spent my career fighting for working families, to ensure access to quality health care, and to create better schools for our kids.

From housing to groceries, Nellie understands that families are being squeezed by corporate greed driving up costs, and she is ready to take that fight head-on in Congress. Nellie will also continue to stand up to defend a woman’s right to make her own medical decisions, not just here in New Jersey, but across the country. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Nellie has dedicated her entire life to the community that raised her, and in Congress she will do the same.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: </span> <span> <br/> September 15, 2024 <br/> Contact: Karla Rodriguez </span> <a href="mailto:karla@chcboldpac.com" target="_blank"> <br/> </a> <a href="mailto:karla@chcboldpac.com" target="_blank"> Karla@chcboldpac.com </a> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC Respalda a Nellie Pou en el Distrito 9 de Nueva Jersey </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Washington D.C </span> <span> . - Como parte de su compromiso por ampliar  la representación latina en el Congreso, hoy CHC BOLD PAC anuncia su respaldo a Nellie Pou en el distrito NJ-09.

Desde la vivienda hasta los alimentos, Nellie sabe que las familias están siendo afectadas por la avaricia de las corporaciones que elevan los precios, y está lista para llevar esa lucha al Congreso. Nellie también seguirá defendiendo el derecho de las mujeres a tomar sus propias decisiones médicas, no solo en Nueva Jersey, sino en todo el país.

After supporting himself through school, he graduated from Harvard University, enlisted in the Marine Corps, and deployed to Iraq as an infantryman. After returning home, Ruben's military service inspired him to run for public office and advocate for veterans. He has spent his entire career fighting for veterans and Arizona's working families, from leading ballot initiatives as a Phoenix organizer to serving in the State House and, later, Congress. <br/> <br/> Gallego has distinguished himself in Washington as a leading and trusted voice on national security issues. As Chairman of the Intelligence and Special Operations Subcommittee and the highest-ranking Latino on the House Armed Services Committee, he has proved to be a pivotal voice in the special forces and intelligence community. As Chairman of CHC BOLD PAC, he helped elect nine new Latinos to the House, including four in seats that were picked up by House Democrats and he led a national strategy to combat disinformation targeting Latinos. <br/> <br/> He has faced the same challenges that so many Arizona families know, like when he paid his way through college by working as a janitor. It was this experience that propelled him to enter public service and represent the community he calls home. Arizonans deserve a Senator like Ruben, who has a proven track record of championing the rights of everyday working people.  </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and is dedicated to increasing diversity in the House and Senate by getting more Latinos and Latinas elected.

This was the result of over $6 Million in direct investments for Latino candidates, the largest sum in the organization’s history.

The effort is designed to mobilize and engage Latina women to vote for Democrats across the country in November. In doing so, the Latinas Lead effort aims to both boost turnout among Latina women and harness their strength to persuade and mobilize those around them, including Latino men, to vote for Democrats.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> The Latinas Lead program is being launched with a $900,000 ad buy supporting Ruben Gallego in the Arizona Senate race. The ads are targeted directly to Latinas, highlighting their crucial role as those who “power Arizona”. The ad, “Las Jefas" or “Bosses”, will appear in both Spanish and Spanglish. It will be featured on Spanish Broadcast statewide, and on digital platforms and streaming services. This buy is laser-focused on reaching Latinas in the Arizona where they are, and include ads on Univision, Telemundo, and Youtube, including airing during popular reality shows and novelas like La Isla: El Reality, El Conde: Amor y Honor, and Tierra de Esperanza. The ads have been crafted and purchased by battle-tested Latina operatives. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> “We are proud to launch the Latinas Lead program to ensure Latina women in Arizona know that Ruben Gallego is fighting for them and their families,” </span> </span> <span> said CHC BOLD PAC Board Member Rep. Norma Torres </span> <span> <span> . "Raised by a single working-class mother who fought hard so her kids could get ahead, Ruben knows how much women are the backbone of our families, our communities, and our economy. He knows the challenges working families face because he’s lived them. That’s why when he’s elected as the state's first Latino Senator, he will continue fighting for all Arizonans.”  </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <br/> “Whether it’s in the home or in the community, Latinas are the organizers,” </span> </span> <span> <span> said CHC BOLD PAC Executive Director Victoria McGroary. </span> </span> <span> <span> “Latina women are a crucial pillar in the Democratic base.

El esfuerzo está diseñado para movilizar e involucrar a las mujeres latinas para que voten por los demócratas en todo el país en noviembre. Al hacer esto, el esfuerzo "Latinas Lead" tiene como objetivo aumentar la participación de las mujeres latinas y aprovechar su fuerza para persuadir y movilizar a quienes las rodean, incluidos los hombres latinos, para que voten por los demócratas. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> El programa "Latinas Lead" se lanza con una compra de anuncios de $900,000 apoyando a Ruben Gallego en la carrera por el Senado en Arizona. Los anuncios están dirigidos directamente a las latinas, destacando su papel crucial como las que “impulsan a Arizona”. El anuncio, llamado "Las Jefas" o "Bosses", aparecerá tanto en español como en spanglish. Se transmitirá en televisión en español en todo el estado, y en plataformas digitales y servicios de streaming. Esta compra está enfocada en llegar a las latinas en Arizona donde estén, e incluye anuncios en Univisión, Telemundo y YouTube, incluso durante programas de realidad y novelas populares como "La Isla: El Reality", "El Conde: Amor y Honor", y "Tierra de Esperanza". Los anuncios han sido creados y comprados por operativas latinas con experiencia y son parte de una inversión más grande de $1.1 millones que apoya la campaña de Gallego. Esta inversión en la carrera por el Senado de Arizona es la más grande en los 23 años de historia del CHC BOLD PAC. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> "Estamos orgullosos de lanzar el programa ‘Latinas Lead’ para asegurar que las mujeres latinas en Arizona sepan que Ruben Gallego está luchando por ellas y sus familias,” </span> </span> <span> dijo la miembro de la junta de CHC BOLD PAC, la Representante Norma Torres </span> <span> . "Criado por una madre soltera y trabajadora que luchó para que sus hijos salieran adelante, Ruben reconoce que las mujeres son el pilar de nuestras familias, nuestras comunidades y nuestra economía. Él conoce los desafíos que enfrentan las familias trabajadoras porque él los ha vivido. Por eso, cuando sea elegido como el primer senador latino del estado, seguirá luchando por todos los habitantes de Arizona." </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> "Ya sea en el hogar o en la comunidad, las latinas son las organizadoras,” </span> </span> <span> <span> dijo la Directora Ejecutiva de CHC BOLD PAC, Victoria McGroary. </span> </span> <span> “Las mujeres latinas son un pilar crucial en la base demócrata.

Raquel Terán has dedicated her career to championing the rights of Latinos across the state. Instead of supporting an exceptionally qualified Latina and the only one in the race, this group has decided to work against the Latino community by pouring in over $1 Million against her. This undermines the ability of Latinos to choose their own representative, and it undermines the progress BOLD PAC has spent decades fighting for,” </span> </span> <span> said Chairwoman Linda Sánchez </span> <span> . </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “It’s particularly appalling that in an attempt to deny the Latino community fair representation in Congress, this outside group has chosen to communicate in Spanish on a non-Latino candidate’s behalf. They are trying to convince voters that Yassamin Ansari understands the challenges working Latinos face, when the truth is she can't speak to their experiences. The only candidate who can do that is Raquel Terán.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> “Democrats must take Latino voters seriously in this election, especially in Arizona. So a massive effort to silence Latino voices in this crucial swing state begs the question: whose bidding is this outside group really doing? Instead, Democrats should be doubling down on their investments in Latina and Latino candidates like Raquel, who will energize Latino voters in November. Arizona has never had a Latina representative in Congress, giving the 3rd district – which is </span> </span> <a href="https://www2.census.gov/geo/maps/cong_dist/cd118/cd_based/ST04/CD118_AZ03.pdf" target="_blank"> 65 percent </a> <span> <span> Hispanic – an opportunity to make history this year.  </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> “BOLD PAC has a </span> </span> <a href="https://thehill.com/latino/3498133-hispanic-caucus-takes-a-victory-lap-after-underdog-win-in-oregon/" target="_blank"> proud history </a> <span> <span> of taking on the big fights, especially against outside groups determined to undermine Latino representation. We stand with over </span> </span> <a href="https://www.raquelteran.com/endorsements" target="_blank"> 40 </a> <span> <span> elected Democrats, progressive organizations, and community leaders that have endorsed Raquel, including Senator Mark Kelly, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Unidos US, and the League of Conservation Voters Action Fund (LCV) as we recommit to doing everything we can to get Raquel to Congress. She is an extraordinarily qualified Latina who – like us – never backs down from a fight.”  </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> ABOUT RAQUEL TERÁN </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Raquel Terán was born in Douglas, Arizona, and raised in Agua Prieta, Sonora, Mexico on the actual street that divides the United States from Mexico. She is a proud daughter of Mexican immigrants, a community organizer, and an advocate for Arizona’s working families.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> She has spent the majority of her career fighting against anti-immigrant Republican policies. In 2011, Raquel helped build a powerful coalition of Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Latinos, union members, educators, and youth activists to oust a sitting legislator – Senator Russell Pearce – author of the notorious SB 1070 “show me your papers law.” In 2016, she led the same coalition to reject Joe Arpaio. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> In 2018, she was elected to the Arizona Legislature. As a state legislator, she helped protect the state's minimum wage, expand access to healthcare, and protect women’s right to choose.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> In 2022, Raquel brought her coalition together once again to reject GOP extremists like Kari Lake and help elect a Democratic Governor, Secretary of State, and Attorney General for the first time in decades. Raquel Terán has dedicated her career to fight for justice and equality, and she will continue that fight in Congress. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> ### </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

Raquel Terán ha dedicado su elección a defender los derechos de los latinos en todo el estado. En lugar de apoyar a una latina excepcionalmente cualificada y la única en la elección, este grupo ha decidido trabajar en contra de la comunidad latina invirtiendo más de $1 millón de dólares contra ella. Esto socava la capacidad de los latinos para elegir a su propio representante y socava el progreso por el cual BOLD PAC ha luchado durante décadas,” </span> </span> <span> dijo la presidenta Linda Sánchez </span> <span> .  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> "Es particularmente indignante que, en un intento por negar a la comunidad latina una representación justa en el Congreso, este grupo externo haya elegido comunicarse en español en nombre de una candidata que no es latina. Están tratando de convencer a los votantes de que Yassamin Ansari entiende los desafíos que enfrentan los latinos trabajadores, cuando la verdad es que no pueden hablar de sus experiencias. La única candidata que puede hacer eso es Raquel Terán. </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <br/> "Los demócratas deben tomar en serio a los votantes latinos en esta elección, especialmente en Arizona. Así que un esfuerzo masivo para silenciar las voces latinas en este crucial estado clave plantea la pregunta: ¿a quién está realmente sirviendo este grupo externo? En cambio, los demócratas deberían redoblar sus inversiones en candidatos latinos como Raquel, que energiza a los votantes latinos en noviembre. Arizona nunca ha tenido una representante latina en el Congreso, dando al 3er distrito – que es </span> </span> <a href="https://www2.census.gov/geo/maps/cong_dist/cd118/cd_based/ST04/CD118_AZ03.pdf" target="_blank"> 65 por ciento hispano </a> <span> <span> – la oportunidad de hacer historia este año. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <br/> "BOLD PAC tiene un </span> </span> <a href="https://thehill.com/latino/3498133-hispanic-caucus-takes-a-victory-lap-after-underdog-win-in-oregon/" target="_blank"> orgulloso historial </a> <span> <span> de enfrentar las grandes luchas, especialmente contra grupos externos decididos a socavar la representación latina.

Ella es una latina extraordinariamente calificada que – como nosotros – nunca se echa atrás en una pelea." </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> SOBRE RAQUEL TERÁN </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Raquel Terán nació en Douglas, Arizona, y creció en Agua Prieta, Sonora, México, en la calle que divide a Estados Unidos de México. Es una orgullosa hija de inmigrantes mexicanos, una organizadora comunitaria y una defensora de las familias trabajadoras de Arizona. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Ha pasado la mayor parte de su carrera luchando contra las políticas republicanas antiinmigrantes. En 2011, Raquel ayudó a construir una poderosa coalición de demócratas, republicanos, independientes, latinos, miembros de sindicatos, educadores y activistas juveniles para destituir a un legislador en funciones, el senador Russell Pearce, autor de la notoria ley SB 1070 "muéstrame tus papeles." En 2016, lideró la misma coalición para rechazar a Joe Arpaio. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> En 2018, fue elegida para la Legislatura de Arizona. Como legisladora estatal, ayudó a proteger el salario mínimo del estado, expandir el acceso a la atención médica y proteger el derecho de las mujeres a elegir. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> En 2022, Raquel reunió a su coalición una vez más para rechazar a los extremistas del GOP como Kari Lake y ayudar a elegir un gobernador demócrata, un secretario de estado y un fiscal general por primera vez en décadas. Raquel Terán ha dedicado su carrera a luchar por la justicia y la igualdad, y continuará esa lucha en el Congreso. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> ### </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC, el brazo de campaña del Caucus Hispano, fue fundado en 2001 para aumentar la representación latina en el Congreso.

Twenty years earlier, most Hispanics told Pew that they opposed abortion rights by a nearly two-to-one margin. (The most recent polling has been conducted online, instead of over the phone, but the surveys show an overall gradual shift in opinions.) </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Latino majorities came out in favor of reproductive rights in 2023 elections in Ohio and Virginia, according to other surveys, and women played a major role in stalling the shift of Hispanic voters toward the Republican Party in 2022, when many voted for Democrats, citing abortion and reproductive health as the most important issue. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Abortion is going to be an essential issue this cycle,” </span> <span>   </span> <span> said </span> <span>   </span> <span> Victoria McGroary, the executive director of BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. “We are going to see what I think is going to be crystal-clear evidence that reproductive freedom matters to Latino voters.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/2022/09/29/hispanics-views-on-key-issues-facing-the-nation/#:~:text=About%20two-thirds%20of%20Latino,in%20most%20or%20all%20cases" target="_blank"> Surveys show </a> <span>  the diversity of the Latino voting population still poses some obstacles for Democrats, with support for abortion rights varying based on factors including age, geography and party affiliation.

She said she had been raised in a Mexican American and Roman Catholic household but had considered her right to abortion a foregone conclusion until the Supreme Court overturned Roe. That jolted her and her 19-year-old daughter. She used to vote for the best candidate regardless of party affiliation, Ms. Fernandez said. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “This cycle, I’m voting for all Democrats,” she said. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Democratic officials and activists in Arizona point to lingering  </span> <a href="https://www.kold.com/2024/04/30/1864-arizona-abortion-ban-may-be-repealed-by-mid-week-may-not-be-end-it/" target="_blank"> uncertainty </a> <span>  over abortion access in the state, since the repeal will not take effect until 90 days after the Legislature adjourns for the summer. That, they say, is fueling support for a November ballot initiative that would enshrine the right to abortion in the state’s Constitution — and could lift Democrats up and down the ballot. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “It is still not over,” said Mary Rose Wilcox, a former city councilwoman and elected county official who owns El Portal, the restaurant that has served as a center of Latino political activity in Phoenix and hosted the April strategy session. “We need a straight law that safeguards protections.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> The women also said they needed to counter what they called misconceptions about Latino voters’ conservatism. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “I always say I’m a pro-choice Catholic,” Raquel Terán, a Democratic House candidate who convened the round-table meeting, said in an interview. “I go to Mass, but I also support a woman’s right to choose.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Rosie Villegas-Smith, a Mexican immigrant who founded Voces Unidas por la Vida, an anti-abortion organization in Phoenix, said she believed Hispanic support for abortion rights in recent polling was overblown. She accused Democrats of fear-mongering and misleading voters on the issue. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “They speak in euphemisms and say abortion is health care but abortion is not health care,” she said. “Once Latinos learn what abortion truly is, they are against it.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Republicans at the national level argue that abortion is  </span> <a href="https://www.ipsos.com/sites/default/files/ct/news/documents/2024-04/Axios%20Telemundo%20Topline%20Writeup%20W6%20Q1%202024_0.pdf" target="_blank"> not going to matter more to Latinos </a> <span>  than crime, border security or the economy, particularly among working-class families worried about the cost of gas and groceries. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “You have seen Republicans making up ground with Latino voters because of a message on those issues,” said Jack Pandol, a spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, the campaign arm of House Republicans. “They have a better message on improving quality of life, on bringing costs down, on making communities safe.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> A crop of Latina Democratic candidates is nonetheless running on abortion rights in districts with large or fast-growing Hispanic populations. In interviews, some said the fall of Roe had made the issue more urgent for their constituencies — and made voters more receptive to their message that abortion access was crucial to personal freedom and health care, even if the voters themselves were against the procedure. </span> </p> <p> <span> Image </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> In Oregon, Representative Andrea Salinas, who in 2022 became one of the first two Hispanic candidates  </span> <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/republican-lori-chavez-deremer-oregons-first-hispanic-congress-rcna56038" target="_blank"> elected to Congress </a> <span>  from the state, said she cast the issue of abortion rights as a matter of “empowering women to make their own personal choices with their doctor.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “I didn’t have as much as my competitors to put out glossy mailers or fancy television ads, but what I did have I used to lean into reproductive rights,” said Ms. Salinas, adding that the issue helped fuel her victory in a northeastern district home to the most Latinos in the state. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Ms. Terán, who is running to become the first Latina to represent Arizona in Congress, recalled that Democratic operatives cautioned her not to talk about her past work experience with Planned Parenthood, an abortion rights group, when she first ran for a state legislative seat in 2018 because it was a Latino-heavy district. She disregarded that advice and won. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> She went on to make abortion rights central to her platform in the Arizona House.  </span> <a href="https://www.abc15.com/news/region-phoenix-metro/central-phoenix/arizona-lawmaker-travels-to-where-abortion-is-a-crime" target="_blank"> In 2019, she and other state lawmakers </a> <span>  visited El Salvador to study the impact of the nation’s abortion ban, and they met with women who had been imprisoned for having the procedure done.

ROB MENENDEZ  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> As the grandson of immigrants and strong union members, Congressman Rob Menendez understands the spirit and value of public service and giving back to his community. He was born and raised in Hudson County and proudly serves New Jersey’s 8th Congressional District in the House of Representatives.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> In Congress, Rob Menendez has a record of delivering real solutions for working families. As a member of the Labor Caucus, he introduced the Working Families Task Force Act, which will help increase wages and access to affordable child care. He co-sponsored the Richard L. Trumka Protecting the Right to Organize Act, which will strengthen organized labor and give workers the wages and rights they deserve. Also, Congressman Menendez has been a fearless fighter for reproductive rights. As Member of the House Pro-Choice Caucus he cosponsored the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would enshrine the principles of Roe v. Wade into law and protect the rights of all women. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Prior to being elected to the House of Representatives, Congressman Menendez served as a Commissioner of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. He was the first Latino from New Jersey to serve on the Board and the first millennial Port Authority Commissioner. During his time as a Commissioner, he oversaw the completion of several critical infrastructure projects, including Newark Liberty International Airport's $2.7 billion expansion. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Rob earned an undergraduate degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a J.D. from Rutgers Law School. He and his wife, young daughter, and son live in the Lafayette neighborhood of Jersey City. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> The Committee for Hispanic Causes (CHC) BOLD PAC is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. It was founded in 2001 – it is dedicated to electing Latinos and Latinas to Congress and is powered by thousands of donors from across the country. Over the past 20 years, BOLD PAC has doubled the size of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> While its core mission focuses on increasing diversity in Congress, BOLD PAC has also played an integral role in making and defending the Democratic majorities in the House and Senate.

Nació y creció en el condado de Hudson y se enorgullece de servir en el octavo distrito del Congreso de Nueva Jersey en la Cámara de Representantes. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> En el Congreso, Rob Menéndez tiene un historial de entregar soluciones reales para las familias trabajadoras. Como miembro del Comité Laboral, presentó la Ley del Grupo de Trabajo para Familias Trabajadoras, que ayudará a aumentar los salarios y el acceso a servicios de cuidado infantil de bajo costo. Co patrocinó la Ley Richard L. Trumka para proteger el derecho de sindicación, que fortalecerá el trabajo organizado y dará a los trabajadores los salarios y derechos que merecen. Además, el Congresista Menéndez ha sido un luchador constante por los derechos reproductivos. Como miembro del Comité pro derecho a decidir de la Cámara de Representantes, co patrocinó la Ley de Protección de la Salud de la Mujer, que consagraría los principios de Roe v. Wade y protegería los derechos de todas las mujeres. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Antes de ser elegido miembro de la Cámara de Representantes, el Congresista Menéndez se desempeñó como Comisionado de la Autoridad Portuaria de Nueva York y Nueva Jersey. Fue el primer latino de Nueva Jersey en formar parte de la Junta y el primer Comisionado de la Autoridad Portuaria milenial. Durante su mandato como comisionado, supervisó la finalización de varios proyectos de infraestructura críticos, incluida la expansión de $2.7 mil millones del Aeropuerto Internacional Newark Liberty. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Rob obtuvo una licenciatura de la Universidad de Carolina del Norte en Chapel Hill y un doctorado en derecho de la Facultad de Derecho de Rutgers.

Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) in his Senate bid. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> The ad buy is the single largest purchase in the history of Bold PAC, the Hispanic Caucus’s campaign arm. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “As the son of immigrants from Colombia and Mexico who grew up poor and took any job he could to help his family make ends meet, Ruben understands what Arizona families are going through. He turned to service, first as an infantryman in the Marine Corps and then as an elected official, because he wanted to give back to the country and communities that gave him so much,” said Rep.

Kyrsten Sinema, who won the seat as a Democrat but later left the party to become an independent. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Democrats are bracing for a difficult Senate election, where they’re all but certain to lose at least one seat of their already-slim majority, and will be defending six other competitive seats where Republicans will be on the offensive. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Though 11 seats held by Republicans are up for reelection, they are all in reliably red states: Only Sens. Rick Scott (Fla.) and Ted Cruz (Texas) are facing any sort of substantial Democratic challenge. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Beyond the Senate race, Arizona is also a competitive state for the presidential race, and Democrats are on the offensive in the House districts held by GOP Reps. David Schweikert and Juan Ciscomani, both rated as toss-ups by the Cook Political Report. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “A lot of people see Arizona as competitive this election cycle, and no doubt it is, but that is because of years and even decades of work on the ground. It is also very competitive this cycle because we have such a strong candidate on the ballot,” said  </span> <a href="https://thehill.com/people/victoria-mcgroary/" target="_blank"> Victoria McGroary, </a> <span>  executive director of Bold PAC. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Though Gallego fought an uphill battle to get buy-in from national Democrats to take on Sinema, he planted a flag early to edge her out to run as an independent — rather than in the Democratic primaries — if she decided to launch a reelection bid. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Now party leadership is all in behind Gallego, a candidate tasked with raising turnout in a critical presidential battleground state. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> That buy-in, with investments in English-language media, is allowing Bold PAC to target their resources on Spanish and Spanglish media, an arena currently monopolized by the group. </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> According to McGroary, the Bold PAC investment is the only Spanish broadcast campaign buy currently in the books in Arizona’s media markets, and reservations are filling up fast. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “We know that the Latino community is going to decide the outcomes of races up and down the ballot, including the Arizona Senate race. And so as we are placing our reservations and designing our strategy, everything is focused on how are we communicating directly with the Latino voters that are going to make the difference in this race,” said McGroary. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “Spanish is a huge priority for us. Spanglish is also a huge priority for us, and making sure that we’re reaching out to the Latino community, especially online, digitally, you know, where folks are getting their news, where they’re getting their information, so that we are connecting with them directly where they are, how they want to consume.” </span> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> Fri, 31 May 2024 18:44:40 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/gallegos-arizona-senate-bid-gets-hispanic-caucuss-first-general-election-ad-buy news thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/chc-bold-pac-launches-1-1-million-statewide-ad-buy-in-arizona-senate-race <div> <img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/Bold-Logo.svg"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> <br/> </span> <span> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:  </span> </p> <p> <span> May 29, 2024 </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> Contact: </span> </span> <span> press </span> <a href="mailto:press@chcboldpac.com" target="_blank"> @chcboldpac.com </a> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC Launches $1.1 Million Statewide Ad Buy In Arizona Senate Race </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> The buy, which will help propel Ruben Gallego to a historic victory, is the first Spanish language reservation in the critical swing state in the general election </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> Washington, D.C. - </span> </span> <span> <span> Today, CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, announced a $1.1 Million ad buy in the Arizona Senate race.

Along with his three sisters, he was raised by a single mother in a small apartment on a secretary's salary and slept on the family’s living room floor, finally getting his own bed when he went away to college. </span> </p> <p> <span> Growing up poor, he took any job he could find — working at a pizza joint, construction sites, and a meat-packing plant — to help support his family. He earned a spot at Harvard University, where he again worked numerous odd jobs to pay his way through school.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Ruben enlisted in the Marine Corps and deployed as an infantryman to Iraq, where his company saw some of the heaviest casualties of the war. After returning home, Ruben’s military service motivated him to seek public office and ensure that members of the military are never again sent into harm’s way without a plan for winning the fight and caring for those who serve when they return home. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> In Congress, Ruben has fought tirelessly for hardworking Arizona families, working to cut costs, support small businesses, and take care of our veterans. Because of his experience growing up paycheck to paycheck, he understands the unyielding squeeze too many Arizonans are feeling. That’s why he’s working to cut costs on everything from gas and groceries, to rent and health care costs. He has distinguished himself as a leading voice on national security issues as the highest-ranking Latino on the Armed Services Committee. Ruben lives in South Phoenix with his wife Sydney, son Michael, and young daughter Isla. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> <br/> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> BOLD PAC is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and is dedicated to increasing diversity in the House and Senate by getting more Latinos and Latinas elected. In 2022, BOLD PAC elected the largest Democratic CHC in history, bringing nine new Latinos to the House, including four in seats that were picked up by House Democrats. This was the result of over $6 Million in direct investments for Latino candidates, the largest sum in the organization’s history. Additionally, BOLD PAC played an integral role in protecting the Democratic majority in the Senate by helping re-elect Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, the first and only Latina in the Senate.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> ### </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

Junto con sus tres hermanas, fue criado por una madre soltera en un pequeño apartamento con el salario de una secretaria y durmió en la sala de su familia, y por fin tuvo su propia cama cuando fue a la universidad. Al crecer en la pobreza, aceptó cualquier trabajo que pudo encontrar – en una pizzería, en la construcción y en una factoría empacando carne – para ayudar a mantener su familia. Consiguió la admisión en la Universidad de Harvard, donde volvió a trabajar a tener varios trabajos para pagarse sus estudios. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Ruben se alistó en la Infantería Marina </span> <span> <span> </span> </span> <span> y fue desplegado como soldado en Irak, donde su unidad de combate sufrió algunas de las más graves pérdidas humanas de la guerra. Tras regresar a casa, el servicio militar de Ruben lo motivó a buscar un cargo público y asegurarse de que los miembros del ejército no vuelvan a ser enviados al peligro sin un plan para ganar la batalla y cuidar de los que sirven cuando regresen a casa. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> En el Congreso, Ruben ha luchado por las familias trabajadoras de Arizona, trabajando para reducir los costos </span> <span> <span> , </span> </span> <span> apoyar a las pequeñas empresas, y cuidando a nuestros veteranos. A través de su experiencia creciendo de cheque a cheque, él entiende la presión inquebrantable que muchos Arizonenses están sintiendo.

CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez released the following statement on this endorsement: </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “As the only Latino currently representing New Jersey in the U.S. House of Representatives, Congressman Rob Menendez has fought tirelessly for the Latino community. He is a proven leader on the issues that matter most to our community, like making life more affordable, lowering prescription drug prices and ensuring that health care remains affordable and accessible, protecting reproductive freedom and much more,” said CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez. “In Congress, Rob has worked to protect and expand opportunities for all workers. As a member of the Labor Caucus, he introduced the Working Families Task Force Act, which will bring together officials from across the federal government to work on solutions for issues impacting all working families, including affordable access to child care and wage growth. Throughout his years of public service, Rob has fought hard to improve the lives of all Latinas and Latinos.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “As we kickoff another election cycle, BOLD PAC is proud to endorse Rob for re-election in New Jersey’s 8th congressional district because he is a champion for Latinos in New Jersey and across the country. Over half the residents in the 8th district are Latinos (53%) and we know that Latino voters will remain central for decades to come. Soon, those in New Jersey will again choose who will represent them in Congress, and BOLD PAC stands with Rob to ensure that the large Latino population across the nation, and especially in New Jersey, is well represented in Congress.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Rep.

Rob has advocated to improve transportation and infrastructure across New Jersey’s 8th District, including through the Gateway Program – the nation’s largest critical infrastructure project, which recently received $6.9 billion from the U.S. Department of Transportation, because he knows how much working families rely on quality transportation,” </span> </span> <span> said CHC BOLD PAC Member Rep. Ritchie Torres. </span> <span> <span> “Rob will fight and deliver for everyday families in New Jersey and make sure everyone has a voice in government.

Sobrevivió y encontró su camino hacia Estados Unidos, después de pasar un mes viviendo en el terreno de la embajada peruana, casi sin comida y agua, señala el grupo político en un comunicado. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> "Como la primera persona de su familia en ir a la universidad, Lucía ha visto de primera mano cómo el poder de la educación puede cambiar vidas", agrega la nota. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> La candidata se convirtió en maestra del sistema de escuelas públicas de Miami, enseñando inglés a miles de estudiantes en Miami Beach Senior High entre 2005 y 2020. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Báez-Geller, graduada de Spring Hill College en 2005 y con una licenciatura en inglés y educación secundaria, fue elegida por el Distrito 3 para la Junta Escolar del Condado de Miami-Dade y desde 2020 ha ayudado a mejorar sus escuelas públicas, según el grupo político. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> La aspirante al Congreso tiene una maestría en educación inglesa y un título de especialista en educación e instrucción de la Universidad Internacional de Florida (FIU, en inglés). </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span>  </span> Báez-Geller y su esposo David Geller son padres de una hija de dos años. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> ### </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> Tue, 16 Apr 2024 15:26:13 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/congresistas-hispanos-apoyan-la-candidatura-de-lucia-baez-geller-para-escano-de-florida news thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/democrats-see-recent-abortion-rulings-as-an-opening-to-galvanize-latino-voters <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> Democrats see recent abortion rulings as an opening to galvanize Latino voters </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> <div> <img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/240411-Michelle-Vallejo-ew-310p-7123c2.webp" alt=""/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> Michelle Vallejo, a Democratic congressional candidate, speaks with voters at a polling location in Pharr, Texas, on Nov. 8, 2022. </span> </p> <p> <span> Jordan Vonderhaar / Bloomberg via Getty Images file </span> </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <a href="/"> Original article: </a> <span> <span> </span> </span> <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/democrats-see-recent-abortion-rulings-opening-galvanize-latino-voters-rcna147285" target="_blank"> NBC </a> <span> <span> </span> </span> <span> <span> 4 </span> </span> <span> /13/2024 </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Democrats see recent state court rulings on abortion as a galvanizing moment to mobilize Latino voters in key states and battleground House districts, with a message about personal freedoms and access to reproductive health care. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Just this week, Arizona’s Supreme Court  </span> <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/arizona-supreme-court-ruling-abortion-ban-rcna146915" target="_blank"> ruled </a> <span>  that an 1864 abortion ban is enforceable, a decision that came a week after Florida’s Supreme Court </span> <span>   </span> <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/florida-supreme-court-abortion-rights-ballot-measure-rcna142568" target="_blank"> allowed </a> <span>   </span> <span> a six-week abortion ban to take effect. Coupled with Texas’ state law banning abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, that puts many of the most heavily Latino House battlegrounds in the country in the middle of the nationwide fight over abortion policy. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Republicans  </span> <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2022/07/working-class-latino-voters-political-alignment/670593/" target="_blank"> have sought to sway more Latino voters  </a> <span> to their side for years, and since 2020, support among Latinos for former President Donald Trump  </span> <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/trump-s-gains-among-latino-voters-shouldn-t-come-surprise-n1246463" target="_blank"> has spiked upward. </a> <span>  And while  </span> <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/latino-neighborhood-nevada-foreshadows-big-2024-fight-rcna143640" target="_blank"> Latino voters </a> <span>  come from all different backgrounds, some of that shift has long been attributed to high levels of social conservatism and Catholicism in Hispanic communities. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> But Democratic candidates and political strategists who spoke with NBC News argued that perceptions about the impact of Catholicism in Latino communities and how Latino voters view abortion is a misconception. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Latino voters are not a monolith,” Victoria McGroary, the executive director of BOLD PAC, the Democratic-aligned campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, told NBC News. She added: “This is fundamentally about freedom. And it is something ... Latino voters really, really care about.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Listen, Latina voters may have personal opinions that differ on what they might do in a specific circumstance. But the thing that is extremely clear among them ... is that they do not want politicians involved in this decision in any way, shape or form,” McGroary added. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <h2> <span> Framing abortion and health care together </span> </h2> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Many Hispanic Americans outright support abortion access and reproductive rights. An Axios/Ipsos poll conducted in partnership with Telemundo that was  </span> <a href="https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/latino-americans-arent-favorable-trump-or-biden-feel-democratic-party-better-represents-them" target="_blank"> released earlier this week </a> <span>   </span> <span> found that 68% of Latino adults in the U.S. oppose making all abortions illegal at any time, under any circumstance. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> That’s not exactly what’s on the books in terms of state bans, even in Arizona, where the law recently upheld by the state Supreme Court bans abortion from the moment of conception but still includes an exception to protect the life of the mother. (The Arizona law is still on hold pending additional court cases.) Texas and Florida’s six-week bans include a similar exception, while Florida’s also has an extended window in cases of rape or incest. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> But the poll results explain why a number of Democratic activists and candidates see the issue as an opportunity to make their case, and why they are framing abortion restrictions not just as bans but also as barriers to basic health care. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> In Texas’ 15th District, where about 80% of the district is Latino, Democrat Michelle Vallejo is taking on GOP Rep. Monica De La Cruz for the second time after losing by nearly 9 points in 2022. Vallejo told NBC News that “our families and voters are paying attention to this because it’s affecting people in their very own homes.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “We are a region that lacks access to very basic health care. Here we are a region that is severely underinsured and — that is if people even have insurance to begin with, which many, many do not — so this is a very, very real issue,” Vallejo added. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> De La Cruz’s campaign did not respond to an NBC News request for comment. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Former Arizona state Sen. Kirsten Engel, another Democrat running in a congressional rematch, echoed Vallejo, accusing her opponent, GOP Rep. Juan Ciscomani, of “enabling the restriction on your rights ... from voting for restricting medication abortion, which affects so many Latinos and Hispanic women, especially those living in our more rural areas, where there is less easy access to health care and doctors and clinics.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> In response to questions from NBC News, Ciscomani’s campaign said the congressman is “opposed to a total ban at both the state and federal levels. That’s why he’s called for Arizona’s territorial ban to be repealed. Juan is where most Arizonans are — he supports a 15-week law with reasonable exceptions. He believes we can support women and new life.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Vallejo often references a conversation she had with her grandmother early in her political career, saying that “growing up in my own home, it was an issue we wouldn’t talk about. We didn’t talk about reproductive health care.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> She added, “[My grandmother and I] agreed that women and doctors should be the only ones making [reproductive] decisions. And politicians ... should be nowhere </span> <span>   </span> <span> involved in making those decisions for us.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> The Axios/Ipsos survey conducted in partnership with Telemundo reinforced this notion. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Sixty-seven percent of Hispanic or Latino adults surveyed said they oppose government policymakers basing laws and policies on their religious views. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> McGroary said </span> <span>   </span> <span> that, often, where Latino families originated plays a larger part in shaping their views on reproductive freedom than their personal beliefs or religion. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “A lot of Latino voters in this country have backgrounds that come from places where freedoms are very limited and under attack regularly. And they know that that is not true here in America,” McGroary said. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <h2> <span> A key issue in congressional campaigns </span> </h2> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Democrats across the country are planning to make abortion policy a key part of their campaigns again this year, after it proved to be a motivating issue in 2022. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Internal polling presented this week to House Democrats, which was obtained by NBC News, showed a strong majority of respondents in battleground districts saying that they thought unified Republican control of the House, Senate and White House would lead Republicans to pursue significant additional restrictions on abortion. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> One House Republican strategist pushed back on the notion that this would drive election results this fall, telling NBC News that Republican candidates have been “crystal clear” on where they stand on abortion. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> The strategist pointed to statements released this week by Ciscomani and Arizona GOP Rep. David Schweikert, who both serve in swing House districts, opposing the state Supreme Court ruling. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “They’re pushing back on [the ruling], and that’s part of the formula for us to win on the issue,” the strategist said, adding: “We have the reasonable position and Democrats don’t.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Similarly, Kari Lake, the likely GOP Senate nominee in Arizona, said again in the wake of the state Supreme Court ruling that she would not back a federal abortion ban and does not back the Arizona ban. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> And on Friday, former President Donald Trump made his own statement rebuking the Arizona Supreme Court, saying in a post on Truth Social: “The Supreme Court in Arizona went too far on their Abortion Ruling, enacting and approving an inappropriate Law from 1864.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> But Democrats in Arizona say this week’s state Supreme Court ruling sent shockwaves through the community that have already led to more organizing in Latino communities, for Democratic candidates and for a ballot initiative that would make abortion a fundamental right in the state. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “There’s a lot of shock. It’s unbelievable,” said </span> <span>   </span> <span> Raquel Terán, former chair of the Arizona Democratic Party and current candidate for a heavily Democratic congressional seat in the Phoenix area. “A lot of people are distraught. A lot of people are feeling numb. A lot of people are feeling ready to organize.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Engel added that for women of all backgrounds in Arizona, the impact of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is no longer hypothetical. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Voters here in Arizona are seeing really what it means to leave abortion access to the states. And before, if that was not clear what that could mean, it’s very clear today,” she said. </span> </p> <p> <span> <span>  </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> <span> ### </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> Tue, 16 Apr 2024 14:49:55 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/democrats-see-recent-abortion-rulings-as-an-opening-to-galvanize-latino-voters news thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/hispanic-democrats-kick-off-voter-mobilization-campaign <div data-rss-type="text"> <h1> <span> Hispanic Democrats kick off voter mobilization campaign <span>  </span> </span> <span> <br/> </span> </h1> </div> <div> <img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/93926dd3c2e815b9d1767f16ebd36189.webp" alt=""/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <a href="/"> <span>  </span> Original article: </a> <span> <span> </span> </span> <a href="https://sg.news.yahoo.com/hispanic-democrats-kick-off-voter-133821470.html" target="_blank"> Yahoo!

Linda Sánchez (D-Calif.) said. “There is so much at stake for our community, and the future of America, highlighting the importance of ensuring that Latinos are mobilized and energized to vote for Democrats in November.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> The political action committee’s core mission is to expand the CHC’s membership, but its unique focus on Hispanic voters gives the group unique access to that electorate, where other official party committees sometimes struggle. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> The group’s turnout efforts could have an effect up-ballot, in a presidential race that could come down to extremely thin margins in Latino-heavy battlegrounds like Arizona. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> The three states covered in the launch have Senate races of interest to Bold PAC — in two cases with the potential to grow the CHC’s footprint in the upper chamber. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “The way the Senate works is that good opportunities don’t present themselves very often. And so Bold PAC has, over the course of many cycles, continued to prioritize bringing new Latinos to the Senate, or defending the ones we have,” said Victoria McGroary, executive director of Bold PAC. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “A great example is Senator [Catherine] Cortez Masto [D-Nev.],” she added. “Last cycle we made very big investments in Nevada on her behalf, because it was so critically important to defend the first and only Latina in the Senate.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> In Arizona, Bold PAC is joining forces with Living United for Change in Arizona (LUCHA), where Chair Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) is  </span> <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4278259-kyrsten-sinema-arizona-reelection-kari-lake-ruben-gallego/" target="_blank"> looking to fill retiring </a> <span>  independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s seat in a head-to-head against former GOP gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> That race is the CHC’s best shot at keeping or growing its four Senate seats. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Sens. Cortez Masto, Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) and Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) are not up for reelection, and Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) is not running for the Democratic nomination for his seat, following a cascade of corruption allegations and related indictments. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Menéndez has said he will consider running as a  </span> <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4548529-menendez-wont-file-for-democratic-primary-opening-door-to-independent-run/" target="_blank"> Democratic independent </a> <span>  if he can shake off the federal indictments by the summer. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Bold PAC is also looking at raising Latino turnout in Florida, where former Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (D-Fla.) is looking to unseat Republican Sen. Rick Scott, who even as a heavy favorite is, along with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), the closest thing the GOP has to a vulnerable Senate incumbent. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “We are so excited to have, again, not one but two incredibly, incredibly unique and strong opportunities to get Senate seats, and that that has been over the course of several cycles an increased focus of Bold PAC because we just don’t we don’t get those opportunities very often,” McGroary said. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Florida, where Bold PAC is working with Florida Freedom PAC, is also host to key House races for the CHC, including the reelection bid of Rep. Darren Soto (D-Fla.). </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Turnout is likely to be a key factor in Soto’s effort, whose constituency includes a large part of central Florida’s Puerto Rican population, a key demographic that Democrats need to win over if they want to make a comeback in the Sunshine State. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Though national Democrats have become wary of investing in Florida because Republicans have turned the perennial swing state reliably red, Latino organizations like Bold PAC have kept investments in the state. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Bold PAC invested heavily in Florida last cycle. That was not true for a lot of organizations. But it was true of Bold PAC, you know, and we brought another member to the CHC because of it, the first Gen-Z member of Congress,” said McGroary, referring to Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.). </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Bold PAC’s kickoff, an initial six-figure effort that’s scheduled to precede other investments throughout the country, will also feature an alliance with Somos PAC Texas, the local branch of a Super PAC that featured heavily in Cortez Masto’s reelection effort in 2022. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> In Texas, Bold PAC will focus on a series of House races that could determine that chamber’s composition, and whose competitive nature could alter statewide calculations, for instance by driving Latino voter turnout in November in the Rio Grande Valley. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Turnout in that region is often heavier in May, with voters more involved in local elections like school boards but voting patterns could be shifting with newly-competitive House races — and strategic mobilization investments. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “What we know at Bold PAC is investments really matter, and the timing of investments really matters,” McGroary said. “And all the money in the world invested improperly without good authentic strategy and at the wrong time, really doesn’t matter.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> <span> ### </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> Tue, 16 Apr 2024 14:49:53 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/hispanic-democrats-kick-off-voter-mobilization-campaign news thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/democratas-de-bold-pac-lanzan-estrategia-comunitaria-para-atraer-el-voto-latino-en-arizona-florida-y-texas <div data-rss-type="text"> <h1> <span> Demócratas de BOLD PAC lanzan estrategia comunitaria para atraer el voto latino en Arizona, Florida y Texas </span> <span> <br/> </span> </h1> </div> <div> <img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/AP18065845602774.webp" alt=""/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> <span> Oregon Democrat Eddy Morales, who is running in a crowded race for the open 3rd District seat, </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <span>  </span> has the backing of BOLD PAC, the political arm of the Congresssional Hispanic Caucus. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> (Photo courtesy of Eddy Morales for Congress) </span> </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <a href="/"> Original article: </a> <a href="https://laopinion.com/2024/03/28/democratas-de-bold-pac-lanzan-estrategia-comunitaria-para-atraer-el-voto-latino-en-arizona-florida-y-texas/" target="_blank"> La Opinión </a> <span> <span> </span> </span> <span> 3/28/2024 </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> El brazo electoral del Caucus Hispano del Congreso (CHC), BOLD PAC, dio a conocer la primera parte de su  </span> <span> estrategia nacional para atraer el  </span> <a href="https://laopinion.com/tema/voto-latino/" target="_blank"> voto latino </a> <span> , al hacer alianzas con organizaciones comunitarias. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Este primer esfuerzo se enfoca en </span> <span>  trabajo con organizaciones locales de Arizona, Florida y Texas </span> <span> , tres de los estados con más alta cifra de votantes latinos. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Se trata de Florida Freedom PAC, LUCHA Living United for Change, en Arizona, y Somos PAC Texas. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “BOLD PAC se asociará con organizaciones locales en el terreno y las capacitará para continuar educando, organizando y movilizando a las comunidades latinas en estados clave de todo el país”, adelantó esa organización a este diario. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> La campaña tiene una inversión de seis cifras, por ahora, pero se espera que avance, como parte del plan para lograr la mayoría del Congreso y la reelección del presidente Joe Biden. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “Cada uno de estos estados tiene múltiples elecciones competitivas en este ciclo electoral, que serán parte integral de los esfuerzos demócratas para defender el Senado, la Casa Blanca y recuperar el control de la Cámara”, se acotó. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> La representante Linda Sánchez (California), quien preside el BOLD PAC,  </span> <a href="https://laopinion.com/2024/02/13/linda-sanchez-retorna-a-democratas-a-lo-basico-para-atraer-el-voto-latino-hablar-con-votantes-casa-por-casa/" target="_blank"> adelantó a este diario a mediados de febrero </a> <span>   </span> <span> que se alistaba una estrategia comunitaria para promover el voto a favor de los demócratas. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “Los votantes latinos serán parte integral de las elecciones de 2024, ya que decidirán si los demócratas pueden defender la Casa Blanca, el Senado y recuperar la Cámara. Hay mucho en juego para nuestra comunidad y el futuro de Estados Unidos, lo que resalta la importancia de garantizar que los latinos sean empoderados y movilizados a votar por los demócratas en noviembre”, dijo Sánchez sobre la primera parte de la estrategia. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC califica este primer paso como “un acercamiento temprano” como parte de las campañas electorales, aunque el elemento clave es la alianza con grupos civiles. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “Al asociarse con organizaciones locales en estados críticos de todo el país, BOLD PAC empoderará a los organizadores de base, para movilizar a las comunidades latinas que serán decisivas en las próximas elecciones”, agregó. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <h2> <span> Los temas prioritarios </span> </h2> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> El grupo recordó los temas en que se enfocará la campaña. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “Al emplear una estrategia de movilización nacional, BOLD PAC mejorará estos esfuerzos para garantizar que los temas más relevantes para las comunidades latinas, como empleos bien pagados, la libertad reproductiva, el acceso a la atención médica y los derechos electorales, estén bien representados en el Congreso”, se indicó. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> A través de su brazo electoral, el CHC ha lanzado varias estrategias con objetivos diversos, incluida la campaña  </span> <a href="https://laopinion.com/2024/02/15/estrategia-electoral-del-caucus-hispano-busca-exponer-a-republicanos-contra-latinos-con-campana-our-lucha-war-room/" target="_blank"> “Our Lucha War Room” </a> <span> , enfocada en 11 republicanos considerados extremistas, como Kari Lake, aspirante al Senado por Arizona. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> <span> ### </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> Tue, 16 Apr 2024 14:49:50 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/democratas-de-bold-pac-lanzan-estrategia-comunitaria-para-atraer-el-voto-latino-en-arizona-florida-y-texas news thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/hispanic-caucus-renews-effort-to-expand-campaign-map <div data-rss-type="text"> <h2> <a href="https://rollcall.com/2024/03/14/hispanic-caucus-renews-effort-to-expand-campaign-map/" target="_blank"> Hispanic Caucus renews effort to expand campaign map </a> <span> <span>  </span> </span> </h2> </div> <div> <img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/Eddy-Morales-OR-Campaign.jpg" alt=""/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> <span> Oregon Democrat Eddy Morales, who is running in a crowded race for the open 3rd District seat, </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <span>  </span> has the backing of BOLD PAC, the political arm of the Congresssional Hispanic Caucus. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> (Photo courtesy of Eddy Morales for Congress) </span> </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <a href="/"> Original article:  </a> <a href="https://rollcall.com/2024/03/14/hispanic-caucus-renews-effort-to-expand-campaign-map/" target="_blank"> Roll Call </a> <span> <span> </span> </span> <span> 3/14/2024 </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, found success last cycle by endorsing candidates running in Pacific Northwest states with small but growing Latino populations.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> The group plans to deploy a similar strategy this year as it seeks to stem Republican gains with Hispanic voters and help Democrats win control of the House.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Among those receiving an early endorsement is Democrat Eddy Morales, a community organizer and the son of an undocumented immigrant, who is running in a crowded race in Oregon’s 3rd District. Morales, 44, said he has seen Latino political clout increase since he arrived in the state at the age of 6. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> From the school board to the state legislature, “our numbers have grown,” he said. “Latinos make up the largest minority in the district.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Morales, who serves on the Gresham City Council, is running in the May 21 primary for a rare open seat in the safe blue district. Democratic Rep. Earl Blumenauer, who has represented the Portland-centered district since 1996, announced late last year that he was retiring.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Other top Democratic contenders in the race include former Multnomah County Commissioner Susheela Jayapal, the sister of Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., who was endorsed this week by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.; and state Rep. Maxine Dexter, a physician who has the support of former Gov. John Kitzhaber and Everytown for Gun Safety. Due to the district’s Democratic dominance, the winner of the primary is favored to win the general election. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Morales was born in the U.S., but he often recounts his mother’s journey from Mexico in the trunk of a car. She fled domestic violence in California and settled among migrant farmworkers in Woodburn, Ore., a mostly Latino community about 30 miles south of Portland. He said his family’s experience has shaped his perspective on the debates over immigration and border security unfolding in Congress.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “A lot of us are really tired of people playing political football with our communities, our families,” he said. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <h2> <span> ‘Latinos are everywhere’ </span> </h2> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Victoria McGroary, executive director of BOLD PAC, hopes Morales will follow Reps. Andrea Salinas, who won an open seat in Oregon’s 6th District, and Marie Gluesenkamp Pérez, who flipped a seat for the Democrats in neighboring Washington state. BOLD PAC endorsed both women in 2022. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “We are laser-focused on getting Latinos elected to Congress … and we will look for a strong recruit anywhere, because we know that Latinos are everywhere,” McGroary said. The group’s endorsement provides a candidate with additional resources and training. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Latinos make up  </span> <a href="https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/OR/LFE041222" target="_blank"> about 14 percent </a> <span>  of the population in Oregon, up from  </span> <a href="https://www2.census.gov/library/publications/decennial/1990/cp-1/cp-1-39.pdf" target="_blank"> 4 percent </a> <span>  in 1990. “While it may not be a state that is at the forefront of someone’s mind when they think about the Latino community, we know that there is a very rich and growing Latino community there,” McGroary said. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC and other national Latino outreach groups have traditionally focused on Texas and Arizona, states where Latino voters are most concentrated. But last cycle, the group expanded the map: In addition to Salinas and Gluesenkamp Pérez, it backed Nebraska state Sen. Tony Vargas, who sought to unseat Republican Rep. Don Bacon.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Vargas lost in 2022 and is trying again; he once again has BOLD PAC’s support. The group has also endorsed state Sen. Emily Randall for an open seat in Washington’s 6th District. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Republicans have also worked to recruit diverse candidates. In 2020, the GOP had a net gain of 14 seats in the House, and every seat it flipped from Democrats was captured by a woman, a veteran or a candidate of color.

"So every single thing that we have done in designing this war room is with the lens of, how can we communicate this best to a Latino audience?" </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> The war room, called  </span> <span> "Our Lucha," will focus on a dozen key races around the country with ads on YouTube and other social media platforms </span> <span> , according to  </span> <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/02/15/1231584176/latino-democrats-launch-our-lucha-war-room-using-spanglish-to-combat-gop" target="_blank"> NPR </a> <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/02/15/1231584176/latino-democrats-launch-our-lucha-war-room-using-spanglish-to-combat-gop" target="_blank"> . </a> <span>  The races will include two for the U.S. Senate and ten swing House congressional districts in West Coast states such as California, Colorado, Nebraska and Texas. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> The use of Spanglish as a campaign strategy should not come as a surprise. Last year,  </span> <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/race-ethnicity/2023/09/20/latinos-views-of-and-experiences-with-the-spanish-language/" target="_blank"> a Pew Research study </a> <span>   </span> <span> found that Spanglish is widespread among Latinos, with around 63% of the demographic using the combination of Spanish and English. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> With an initial six-figure budget, BOLD PAC, the fundraising arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, says the n </span> <span> ew effort will expand on test cases led by congressional candidates in previous campaigns. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Florida Democratic Representative Maxwell Frost is one of the current members of Our Lucha. He continuously advocates for Gen Z and Latino representation in Congress. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> "You might be nervous doing a full ad in Spanish and maybe sounding, you know, like a 'gringo' or whatever, and you don't want to sound that way," Frost, who is also the youngest member elected to Congress, told NPR from his Capitol Hill office. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> During his campaign last year, he released an ad in Spanglish,  </span> <span> which he believes allowed him to connect with Latino voters of different ages. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> The strategy is not new, as the Biden campaign has also pushed this messaging over the past months. Late last year, the campaign  </span> <a href="https://www.latintimes.com/biden-campaign-reinforces-hispanic-connexions-549296" target="_blank"> reportedly tapped Conexión </a> <span> , founded by Colin Rogero, a seasoned political consultant, to design and produce ad campaigns tailored to this key demographic. Several ads in Spanglish have been released over the past months. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span>  </span> The war room is launched amid a series of studies that show </span> <a href="https://www.latintimes.com/why-biden-losing-support-latinos-heres-what-two-organizations-community-say-550745" target="_blank">  Latinos' discontent with the party </a> <span> . </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Florida Democrat Debbie Mucarsel-Powell is an endorsed BOLD PAC candidate running for the Senate against incumbent Republican Sen. Rick Scott. She says the new Lucha War room will be a boost in her race. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> "This is more critical than ever as we continue to see disinformation being spread and targeted to Latinos," she said. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Lucha war room has already released its first ad. This one focuses on the Arizona race, in which BOLD PAC has endorsed Democratic Congressman Ruben Gallego, where he could face off former Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake.

Sin embargo, la congresista Linda Sanchez (D-CA Dist. 38), Chairwoman de BOLD PAC, dice que esa no es la realidad.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> Asimismo, asegura que la comunidad latina está en riesgo de desinformación cuando se trata de política y que su organización busca la manera de informar correctamente a nuestra comunidad en cuanto a sus candidatos y derechos electorales. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> “Hay mucha desinformación que busca confundir a los latinos, hay estrategias donde llaman por teléfono a los latinos y les dicen que presionen un número para votar, cuando eso es totalmente falso, pero algunas personas han pensado que sí votaron”. </span> </span> <span> Linda Sánchez, presidenta BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Para combatir la desinformación, lanzaron “Our Lucha War Room”, el primer esfuerzo de su tipo dirigido a los votantes latinos, con contenido en Spanglish y Español. Con el objetivo de exponer la agenda de los republicanos Trumpistas al igual que posicionar a las  </span> <a href="https://www.boldpac.com/hispanic-candidates" target="_blank"> candidatas latinas y candidatos latinos </a> <span>  apoyados por BOLD PAC, para que ganen en las elecciones de 2024. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Según BOLD PAC, el alcance digital es fundamental para interactuar con los votantes latinos: el 63% de los latinos en Estados Unidos habla spanglish al menos algunas veces durante el día y el 86% de ellos usa Youtube. Es por eso que “Our Lucha War Room” de su contenido en español y spanglish y publica su contenido en las redes sociales y el canal de YouTube de BOLD PAC. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <h2> <span> BOLD PAC y la búsqueda del voto latino </span> </h2> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC ayuda a candidatos diversos en sus campañas para elección o reelección al Senado o al Congreso para proporcionar un rango más amplio de diversidad y representación. También buscan asegurarse de que la comunidad latina tenga los recursos y la información necesaria para votar. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> La congresista Sánchez no es la única que lleva el liderazgo en la organización, también la acompaña Victoria McGroary, directora ejecutiva. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Hemos identificado las principales preocupaciones de la comunidad como conseguir buen trabajo, acceso a agua limpia y aire, seguridad de sus niños sin tiroteos en las escuelas, la libertad de escoger qué hace con tu cuerpo, y tratamos de ayudarles a escoger candidatos que reflejen sus valores”, dijo </span> <span> <span> Victoria McGroary, directora ejecutiva de BOLD PAC. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> En una encuesta del  </span> <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/race-ethnicity/2022/09/29/hispanics-views-on-key-issues-facing-the-nation/" target="_blank"> Pew Research Center </a> <span> , la mayoría de los hispanos creen que el aborto es un tema sumamente importante en la agenda política y muchos piensan que debería ser legal en todos o la mayoría de los casos.  </span> </p> <p> <span> “Además, la representación es algo del que no podremos nunca parar de enfocarnos, tenemos más miembros a defender, pero tenemos aún más candidatos para trabajar para su reelección”, agregó la directora ejecutiva de BOLD PAC. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <h3> <span> La importancia de la Generación Z </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> La generación Z es clave en estas elecciones,  </span> <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/4162918-gen-z-and-millennials-will-be-key-in-future-elections-so-how-do-we-reach-them/" target="_blank"> y estiman que casi el 50 </a> <span> %  </span> <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/4162918-gen-z-and-millennials-will-be-key-in-future-elections-so-how-do-we-reach-them/" target="_blank"> de la generación votará en las elecciones, </a> <span>  según Danna Rodas coordinadora política de BOLD PAC. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Hemos visto que es importante tener candidatos que reflejen los valores de los Gen Z porque se sienten atraídos a estos perfiles, esto los impulsa a hacer los cambios en el gobierno que quieren", afirmó Rodas. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Temas como educación, migración y derechos reproductivos y de la comunidad LGBTQ+ están en tendencia en la agenda política de los jóvenes votantes. También esta generación busca encontrar candidatos y representantes políticos que sean más jóvenes y con los que se puedan identificar.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Diana Castañeda </span> <span> , directora de comunicaciones, explicó un programa del BOLD PAC en contra de la desinformación que atrae la atención de los jóvenes latinos. Se trata de un canal de YouTube llamado “¡Ya Tu Sabes!” que combate la desinformación sobre todo en la comunidad latina. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> “Hay temas como la economía que son verdaderamente importantes para los latinos, hay temas como combatir la violencia por armas de fuego. Es un tema muy importante para las mujeres latinas. [...] Hay otros temas como el de educación, que para las mujeres significa que sus hijos puedan ir a la universidad. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> Hay temas que se centran en como, en el caso de los hombres latinos, es más relevante la economía y que se pueda ver realmente plasmado ese sueño americano que todos tenemos, que se traduce en cosas como poder tener acceso a vivienda de bajo costo”, añadió Castañeda.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <h2> <span> La legislación es la única forma de avanzar en temas importantes de la comunidad latina, asegura la congresista Sánchez. </span> </h2> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Por ejemplo, 50% de las mujeres latinas no pueden ahorrar para su retiro y trabajan para empleadores que no dan este beneficio y eso es algo que tenemos que cambiar con leyes ya que esto tiene un impacto directo en su riqueza y bienestar en el futuro”. Para Sanchez, la misión de Bold Pac es fundamental para incrementar la participación latina en la política y avanzar en los derechos de las mujeres". </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> "Las mujeres latinas son muy importantes para la economía y son parte del crecimiento del país, y no podemos perder la perspectiva de las mujeres". </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> ### </span> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> Tue, 16 Apr 2024 14:49:44 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/las-mujeres-detras-de-bold-pac-que-buscan-ganar-el-voto-latino news thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/estrategia-electoral-del-caucus-hispano-busca-exponer-a-republicanos-contra-latinos-con-campana-our-lucha-war-room <div data-rss-type="text"> <h1> <a href="https://rollcall.com/2024/01/02/latina-candidates-plan-abortion-rights-push/" target="_blank"> Estrategia electoral del Caucus Hispano busca exponer a republicanos contra latinos con campaña “Our Lucha War Room” </a> </h1> </div> <div> <img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/BOLDPAC_OurLucha-07c58a4a.webp" alt=""/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> <span> El BOLD PAC eligió guantes de boxeo para su campaña, debido a la popularidad de ese deporte entre los latinos. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> Crédito: BOLD PAC | Cortesía </span> </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <a href="/"> Original article:  </a> <a href="https://laopinion.com/2024/02/15/estrategia-electoral-del-caucus-hispano-busca-exponer-a-republicanos-contra-latinos-con-campana-our-lucha-war-room/" target="_blank"> La Opinión </a> <span> <span> </span> </span> <span> 2 </span> <span> /15/2024 </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> En spanglish y español, el BOLD PAC, el brazo electoral del Caucus Hispano del Congreso (CHC), busca  </span> <span> exponer a los republicanos extremistas y aquellos más apegados al movimiento MAGA </span> <span>  del expresidente Donald Trump.  </span> <a href="https://www.npr.org/2022/11/08/1134743908/maxwell-frost-calvin-wimbish-florida-10th-house-midterms-results" target="_blank"> the youngest candidate elected to Congress last year </a> <span> , Florid </span> <span> a Democratic Rep.

"So every single thing that we have done in designing this war room is with the lens of: How can we communicate this best to a Latino audience?" </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <h2> <span> Power in communicating the way voters communicate </span> </h2> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Florida Democrat Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, an endorsed BOLD PAC candidate running for U.S. Senate against incumbent Republican Sen.

</span> </span> <span> 2 </span> <span> /13/2024 </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Todavía se ultiman los detalles, pero el  </span> <span> BOLD PAC avanza con una estrategia de llamado al voto que volverá a “lo básico” a los candidatos demócratas  </span> <span> que respalda, es decir, hablarle la gente, ya sea en forma directa o con grupos comunitarios que implementarán una estrategia tipo puerta por puerta.Shortly after deciding to run for Congress on a platform that supports abortion rights, Democrat Michelle Vallejo had a conversation with her grandmother. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Tenemos varios proyectos, pero uno de los que en este ciclo electoral [es que]  </span> <span> nos vamos a enfocar en ese contacto persona a persona </span> <span> , o sea, teniendo personas que van a ir [de] casa en casa hablando con gente, porque también es la mejor manera de combatir la desinformación”, dijo en exclusiva a este diario Linda Sánchez, presidenta del BOLD PAC, el brazo electoral del Caucus Hispano del Congreso (CHC). “Los candidatos tienen que ir a donde están los votantes hispanos para ver cuáles son los retos que enfrentan nuestra comunidad”. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Sánchez habla de una estrategia combinada, por un lado al  </span> <a href="https://laopinion.com/2024/01/09/democratas-lanzan-plan-para-atraer-poder-de-votantes-latinos-y-de-otras-minorias/" target="_blank"> promover el voto </a> <span>  de los 15 candidatos que actualmente respalda, al tiempo que se ataca la desinformación que podría desalentar a los votantes. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “[El plan] es tener la oportunidad de que personas hagan preguntas y tenemos allí personas que les pueden explicar lo que está pasando y darles información que es correcta y que no es falsa y no es para manipular al votante”, acotó. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Según un reporte del Pew Research Center,  </span> <span> hay 36 millones de latinos elegibles para votar el 5 de noviembre </span> <span>  y Sánchez reconoce esa fuerza como esencial. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “ </span> <span> Vimos que los votantes latinos desempeñarán un papel crucial en los estados como California, Pennsylvania, Arizona </span> <span> , también hay unas campañas que estamos enfocando en Texas, en Florida y en Colorado, o sea que esos son los estados en que vamos a enfocar nuestros esfuerzos”, expresó sobre el trabajo de campo que harán en las campañas. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Agregó que su enfoque también incluye a aspirantes latinas. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Vemos que hay una falta de miembros de latinas aquí, así que teniendo como presidenta del BOLD a una latina que especialmente me estoy enfocando en latinas, para ver si le podemos ayudar a lanzarse para oficinas federales”, dijo Sánchez. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Recalcó que su propio equipo es liderado por mujeres, incluyendo a la directora ejecutiva, Victoria McGroary, y Diana Castañeda, directora de Comunicaciones. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Todas son mujeres, así que es un esfuerzo de ese equipo de tratar de traer más latinas para involucrarse en la política, para participar en las elecciones y finalmente para lanzarse para oficinas federales”, defendió Sánchez. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <h2> <span> Linda Sánchez impone su sello </span> </h2> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> La idea de priorizar las calles, de tocar puerta por puerta, no es algo nuevo para la representante Sánchez, congresista federal por el Distrito 38 en California, el cual comprende partes de los condados de Los Ángeles y Orange. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Ella empezó con un background muy sólido como organizadora […] era quien trabajaba con los grupos, con la comunidad y fue precisamente lo que ella quiere implementar, entonces quiere […] este año una estrategia muy enfocada en movilizar a los latinos, pero movilizarlos invertir en los grupos que están allá movilizando en el terreno”, explicó Castañeda en una entrevista posterior. “ </span> <span> No hay nada más importante que el de voz a voz, el ir a golpear en la puerta de las personas </span> <span> , de los votantes, porque a diferencia de todos los otros grupos que nosotros vemos, nosotros sí vemos a los latinos como votantes que deben ser conquistados”. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Castañeda indicó que actualmente se evalúa cuáles son las organizaciones para respaldar y en qué estados en particular, tomando en consideración aquellos donde hay distritos competentes. La inversión será millonaria, aún sin precisar. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Se están mirando cuáles son las organizaciones con las que van a trabajar y en qué estados”, expresó. “Hay que mirar cuáles son los estados donde se requiere una movilización más fuerte de los votantes y cuáles son esas organizaciones que tienen un trabajo, pues que tienen experiencia haciendo este trabajo y también se va a hacer como tú lo dices, a nivel de candidatos, o sea se espera que no sólo los candidatos a los que se les ha dado el apoyo viajen a diferentes distritos, sino también los miembros de BOLD PAC [para] hablar con los votantes, para que apoyen a los candidatos latinos, explicándoles la importancia de por qué se debe tener, de incrementar la diversidad en el Congreso y tener más latinos”. <br/> </span> </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <h2> <span> <span>  </span> Afianzar los recursos para las campañas </span> </h2> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> La presidenta Sánchez recalco que, por ahora, se respalda a 15 aspirantes al Congreso </span> <span> , 14 de ellos latinos y otro con ascendencia no-latina. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Ellos son Rubén Gallego (Arizona) y Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (Florida), quienes compiten para el senado; además de los aspirantes a la Cámara, Marlene Galán Woods (AZ-01), Raquel Terán (AZ-03), Sam Liccardo (CA-16), Rudy Salas (CA-22), Luz Rivas (Ca-29), Gil Cisneros (CA-31), Allyson Muñiz Damikolas (CA-40), Kim Nguyen (CA-45), Joe Vogel (MD-06), Tony Vargas (NE-02), Eddy Morales (OR-03) y Michelle Vallego (TX-15) y Tom Suozzi (NY-03). </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Debemos asegurarnos de que tengan los recursos suficientes para llegar hasta el final y para ganar esos asientos”, dijo Sánchez. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> La presidenta del BOLD PAC reconoce un reto en las campañas con la economía como un tema dominante, pero también la lucha contra armas de fuego, acceso a la atención médica y los derechos reproductivos y la educación. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “La educación siempre es uno de los temas más importantes para la comunidad hispana, porque ven educación como una llave para un futuro mejor, y también temas de inmigración, para cierta parte de la comunidad latina, también es importante”, expresó. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> ### </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> Tue, 16 Apr 2024 14:49:30 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/linda-sanchez-retorna-a-democratas-a-lo-basico-para-atraer-el-voto-latino-hablar-con-votantes-casa-por-casa news thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/my-post921f8f2a <div data-rss-type="text"> <h1> <a href="https://rollcall.com/2024/01/02/latina-candidates-plan-abortion-rights-push/" target="_blank"> Latina candidates plan abortion rights push </a> </h1> </div> <div> <img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/Mucarsel-Powell_BC_270_012919crop-15a21950.jpg"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> <span> Former Rep.

A majority of Hispanics, 57 percent, say abortion should be legal in most or all cases, according to  </span> <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/race-ethnicity/2022/09/29/hispanics-views-on-key-issues-facing-the-nation/" target="_blank"> a Pew Research Center survey </a> <span>   </span> <span> released in 2022. Among young Latinos,  </span> <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2018/09/13/key-facts-about-young-latinos/" target="_blank"> one of the nation’s fastest-growing demographic groups </a> <span> , that figure climbs to 72 percent. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Support for reproductive rights remains strong even among Catholic Latinos.  </span> <a href="https://unidosus.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/unidosus_national_surveyoflatinovoters.pdf" target="_blank"> Polling data from eight key states compiled by UnidosUS </a> <span> , a Hispanic civil rights organization, found that 71 percent of Latinos opposed efforts to make abortion illegal or “take that choice away from everyone else,” regardless of their personal beliefs. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “We know that Latinos want all the options on the table,” McGroary said. “This is [true] even among individual voters who may be more conservative in their own lives. Ultimately, they believe that this is a decision reserved for them and the people that they care about. They do not, in any way, shape or form, want politicians making that decision for them.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> The GOP has been struggling to find its footing on the abortion issue since Roe v. Wade was overturned in June 2022 and Republican-controlled states began passing new restrictions or outright bans on the procedure. Meanwhile, supporters of reproductive rights have won ballot initiatives in seven states, including Ohio, Kansas, Montana and Kentucky, all states that Donald Trump won in 2020. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Activists in Florida, Arizona and about seven other states are seeking to put similar initiatives to protect abortion rights on the November ballot. (Two other states, New York and Maryland, have already approved such ballot measures, while in Iowa, abortion opponents are pressing for a referendum to restrict access to the procedure.) <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Asked how the party planned to talk about abortion in the upcoming election cycle, a House GOP strategist said messaging is key.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Republican candidates cannot allow their opponents to define their position on abortion for them,” said the strategist, who requested anonymity, a sign of how politically fraught abortion rights remain for the GOP.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “The key to neutralizing the attack is simple — be open and honest about their policy beliefs, including exceptions, express empathy for women put into difficult situations and inform voters that Democrats are the extremists on the issue, favoring legal abortions up to the moment of birth,” the strategist added. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <h2> <span> ‘Not talking about hypotheticals’ </span> </h2> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Republican vulnerabilities on abortion were exposed last month, when a Texas woman named Kate Cox was barred from obtaining an abortion after discovering that her fetus had a fatal genetic disorder.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “We’re not talking about hypotheticals anymore,” Vallejo said. “This is a very real issue that is directly putting women and families in danger.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Allyson Muñiz Damikolas, a Democrat seeking to unseat Republican Rep. Young Kim in Southern California, said the GOP’s stance on abortion fails to take into account the personal impact of such policies. She has two daughters who have underlying medical conditions that she said could put their lives at risk if they became pregnant. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “I think voters see this as a complex issue,” Muñiz Damikolas said. “And as a Latina, as someone who grew up in a Catholic family … I’m able to communicate this kind of complexity to voters in this district, and especially to women.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Running against Republican Sen. Rick Scott in Florida, Democratic former Rep.

This coffee shop is part of an incubator effort for Latino businesses in the area. Sanchez wants to be an incubator for Latino votes. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> "I'm on this mission to convince Latinos that we need more of them in Congress if we want the Congress to look like the America that it's supposed to represent," says Sanchez. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Sanchez is the first woman to serve as chair of BOLD PAC, the fundraising arm for Democrats' Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

They said Latino voters were critical to winning in tight races an those same voters are increasingly important to success in battleground states like as Pennsylvania and Arizona. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> North Carolina Congressman Richard Hudson knows that argument quite well. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Hudson chairs the National Republican Congressional Committee, the political arm of the House GOP. He thinks Democrats have it wrong. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> "Well, (Latinos) are huge voting bloc and they're certainly a bloc that Republicans continue to do better with," Hudson said. "I think we share values and I think we'll continue to do our outreach and we expect them to be a big part of our winning coalition." </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Hudson argues that Democrats have taken Latino voters for granted. Republicans want take advantage of that to win more House districts in places like Texas, California and Florida. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Those targets also include Pennsylvania and Oregon, where smaller populations of Latino voters could mark the difference who controls Congressional chambers with razor-thin margins. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <h3> <span> Abortion messaging could be a critical part of the campaign </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Back at the L.A.

Anthony List, National Right to Life, and the Faith and Freedom Coalition, as well as an endorsement from the Nebraska Family Alliance. <br/> <br/> </span> </li> <li> <span> Democratic state Sen. Tony Vargas — who lost to Bacon by just 5,856 votes two years ago — is hoping for a rematch this fall, when an amendment that would enshrine the right to abortion in Nebraska’s state constitution may be on the ballot. (Supporters must gather 125,000 verified signatures by July to ensure the measure will appear before voters in November.) <br/> <br/> </span> </li> <li> <span> The general election hasn’t gotten underway yet, but Vargas has already sought to draw attention to Bacon’s anti-abortion positions. Last week, the Republican congressman took umbrage at Vargas’ charge that he “supports a nationwide abortion ban with no exceptions, not even for the life of the mother.” <br/> <br/> </span> </li> <li> <span> Bacon posted on X that it was a “lie,” adding: “I’ve always defended the life of the mother.” <br/> <br/> </span> </li> <li> <span> That is not true: The congressman has previously signed on as co-sponsor of the Life at Conception Act, not once but twice — in 2019 and 2021. The 2021 version declared that the right to life guaranteed by the Constitution “is vested in each human being … including the moment of fertilization, cloning, or other moment at which an individual member of the human species comes into being.” <br/> <br/> </span> </li> <li> <span> <span> The legislation did not include abortion exceptions of any kind — including rape, incest, or to protect the life of the mother. If it were passed, the bill would also end access to in vitro fertilization, or IVF, nationwide. </span> </span> <span> (Bacon has recently said he does not support restrictions on IVF, a sentiment that is in direct conflict with his co-sponsorship of the Life at Conception bill.) <br/> <br/> </span> </li> <li> <span> Bacon has said he declined to sponsor the legislation this year specifically because it does not include an exception to protect the life of the mother. <br/> <br/> </span> </li> <li> <span> Last month, Bacon was the only vulnerable Republican House member who signed on to a brief urging the Supreme Court to allow states to ban hospitals from providing emergency abortions. Doctors have repeatedly warned that such bans would prevent them from providing standard of care treatment in circumstances where the pregnant woman could die without intervention. <br/> <br/> </span> </li> <li> <span> Prior to the recent changes, Bacon’s website read: “As your Representative, I will always fight to defend the right to life. I co-sponsored legislation to make permanent the Hyde Amendment (H.R. 18) and co-sponsored the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, prohibiting abortions on children 20 weeks and older (H.R. 1080). Through this advocacy and work in Congress, I have earned an ‘A’ rating from Susan B. Anthony List, 100 percent rating from National Right to Life and Faith and Freedom Coalition, and the endorsement of the Nebraska Family Alliance.” <br/> <br/> </span> </li> <li> <span> That language is now gone, as is a letter from the National Right to Life Committee formally endorsing Bacon. <br/> <br/> </span> </li> <li> <span> Rolling Stone’s inquiries to both Bacon’s campaign and his congressional office went unanswered. </span> </li> </ul> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC’s Cutting Edge “Our Lucha War Room” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> To help Democrats win the 2024 elections where Latino voters will decide the margins of victory in critical races across the House and Senate battlefield, CHC BOLD PAC recently launched “Our Lucha War Room,” a first of its kind rapid response war room to reach out to Latino voters with content in Spanglish and Spanish. This vigorous offensive effort will speak directly to Latino audiences in an authentic way to combat the lies that target our communities and includes research and communications staff dedicated to combating disinformation targeting Latinos, holding MAGA Republicans accountable for their extreme anti-Latino agenda, and positioning BOLD PAC’s incumbents and endorsed Latina and Latino candidates for victory in the 2024 elections. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and is dedicated to increasing diversity in the House and Senate by getting more Latinos and Latinas elected. In 2022, BOLD PAC elected the largest Democratic CHC in history, bringing nine new Latinos to the House, including four in seats that were picked up by House Democrats. This was the result of over $6 Million in direct investments for Latino candidates, the largest sum in the organization’s history. Additionally, BOLD PAC played an integral role in protecting the Democratic majority in the Senate by helping re-elect Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, the first and only Latina in the Senate. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> ### </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

As the daughter of a Cuban father, who escaped communism for a better life in America, and a Colombian mother, who came to America to build a better future, Lucia epitomizes the spirit of opportunity and determination. As a mother, wife, and dedicated educator for fifteen years, Lucia understands the value of hard work and the importance of inclusive representation,” </span> </span> <span> said CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez. </span> <span> <span> “Now, as she steps up to run for Congress, Lucia brings with her a powerful voice that champions the dreams and aspirations of all Americans, regardless of background.

The daughter of a Colombian mother, and a Cuban father, who came to Miami fleeing communism, Lucia saw the sacrifices her parents made to achieve the American Dream. Lucia’s father fled communism in Cuba in the 1980’s. He survived and found his way to America after spending a month living on the Peruvian embassy’s ground with almost no food or water. Finally, he was able to board a ship heading for America. Lucia was raised by her single mother, who worked multiple jobs to ensure Lucia got the best education possible. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> As the first in her family to go to college, Lucia has seen first hand how the power of education can change lives. That’s why Lucia became a teacher for Miami’s public school system, teaching thousands of students English and Language Arts at Miami Beach Senior High from 2005 to 2020. </span> </p> <p> <span> Lucia’s passion for education and helping the community that built her prompted her to run for Miami-Dade County School Board District 3. Since 2020, Lucia has helped improve Miami-Dade’s public schools, keeping schools safe, protecting all students from extreme attacks, and ensuring students are prepared to level up in the classroom. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Lucia graduated from Spring Hill College in 2005 with a degree in English and secondary education and later earned a MS in English Education and an Education Specialist degree in curriculum and instruction from Florida International University. Lucia and her husband David Geller are parents to a two year old daughter. </span> <span> <br/> </span> <span> <br/> </span> <span> <br/> </span> <span> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and is dedicated to increasing diversity in the House and Senate by getting more Latinos and Latinas elected.

La presidenta del CHC BOLD PAC, Linda Sánchez, emitió la siguiente declaración sobre este respaldo: </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> "Estamos orgullosos de apoyar a Lucia Báez-Geller para el Congreso por el Distrito 27 de Florida. Como hija de un padre cubano quien escapó del comunismo para tener una vida mejor en los Estados Unidos y de una madre colombiana que vino a Estados Unidos para construir un futuro mejor. Lucia personifica el espíritu de oportunidad y determinación. Como madre, esposa y dedicada educadora con experiencia de quince años, Lucia comprende el valor del trabajo duro y la importancia de la representación inclusiva", </span> </span> <span> <span> dijo Linda Sánchez, presidenta de CHC BOLD PAC. </span> </span> <span> "Ahora, cuando se postula para el Congreso, Lucía trae consigo una voz poderosa que defiende los sueños y aspiraciones de todos los estadounidenses, independientemente de su origen. Lucia Báez-Geller no solo se postula para el Congreso; se postula para cada persona que alguna vez se ha atrevido a soñar con un futuro mejor. Apoyemos a Lucia y allanemos el camino para un Congreso que verdaderamente refleje la diversidad y la fuerza de nuestra gran nación". </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> ACERCA DE LUCIA BÁEZ-GELLER </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Lucia Báez-Geller es educadora, líder comunitaria y orgullosa floridana. Hija de madre colombiana y padre cubano, quien llegó a Miami huyendo del comunismo, Lucía vio los sacrificios que hicieron sus padres para lograr el sueño americano. El padre de Lucia huyó del comunismo en Cuba en los años 80. Sobrevivió y encontró su camino hacia los Estados Unidos, después de pasar un mes viviendo en el terreno de la embajada peruana, casi sin comida y agua. Finalmente, pudo abordar un barco con destino a América. Lucia fue criada por su madre soltera, quien tuvo múltiples trabajos para garantizar que Lucia recibiera la mejor educación posible. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Como la primera persona de su familia en ir a la universidad, Lucia ha visto de primera mano cómo el poder de la educación puede cambiar vidas. Es por eso que Lucía se convirtió en maestra del sistema de escuelas públicas de Miami, enseñando inglés y artes del lenguaje a miles de estudiantes en Miami Beach Senior High de 2005 a 2020. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> La pasión de Lucia por la educación y por ayudar a la comunidad, la impulsó a postularse para el Distrito 3 de la Junta Escolar del Condado de Miami-Dade. Desde 2020, Lucia ha ayudado a mejorar las escuelas públicas de Miami-Dade, manteniendo las escuelas seguras, protegiendo a todos los estudiantes de ataques extremos y garantizando que los estudiantes estén preparados para seguir superándose en el aula. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Lucia se graduó de Spring Hill College en 2005 con una licenciatura en inglés y educación secundaria y luego obtuvo una maestría en educación inglesa y un título de especialista en educación e instrucción de la Universidad Internacional de Florida. Lucia y su esposo David Geller son padres de una hija de dos años. </span> <span> <br/> </span> <span> <br/> </span> <span> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC es el brazo de campaña del Caucus Hispano del Congreso (CHC) y se dedica a aumentar la diversidad en la Cámara y el Senado, y a lograr que más latinos y latinas sean elegidos. En 2022, BOLD PAC eligió al CHC demócrata más grande de la historia, trayendo nueve nuevos latinos a la Cámara, incluidos cuatro escaños que fueron retomados por los demócratas en la Cámara.

Las familias trabajadoras no olvidarán en noviembre que 125 republicanos de la Cámara respaldaron la Ley de Vida en el momento de la concepción, para imponer restricciones a la FIV y otros tratamientos de fertilidad, similares a los del fallo de la Corte Suprema de Alabama. Las mujeres y especialmente las latinas, están sufriendo bajo la mano del extremismo republicano; más de la mitad de las latinas adultas en los Estados Unidos están en edad fértil", </span> </span> <span> dijo la presidenta del CHC BOLD PAC, Linda Sánchez. </span> <span> <span> "Cada vez que tienen la oportunidad, destrozan cualquier libertad que las mujeres tengan sobre sus vidas, su salud, su autonomía y su camino hacia la maternidad.

Según la Oficina del Censo de Estados Unidos, alrededor del 58% de las latinas adultas en Estados Unidos están en edad fértil. Casi 6,7 millones de latinas (el 43% de todas las latinas entre 15 y 49 años) viven en los 26 estados que han prohibido o probablemente prohibirán el aborto. Representan el grupo más grande de mujeres de color afectadas por las actuales o probables prohibiciones estatales del aborto. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> <span> A pesar de las diferencias de religión o afiliación política, el 62% de las latinas y los adultos latinos dicen que el aborto debería ser legal en la mayoría o en todos los casos. Las latinas quieren todas las opciones sobre la mesa para poder planificar sus familias, pero los republicanos de la Cámara de Representantes están comprometidos a prohibir el aborto en todo el país y restringir las libertades reproductivas. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC es el brazo de campaña del Caucus Hispano del Congreso (CHC) y se dedica a aumentar la diversidad en la Cámara y el Senado, logrando que más latinos y latinas sean elegidos.

She is fueled by her family’s experiences. When her sister Olivia, born with complex disabilities, received access to newly expanded Medicaid, Emily became a fierce advocate for quality, affordable healthcare. And as the first in her family to attend a four-year college, Emily knows the importance of education that aligns with the community’s needs and leads to family-wage jobs.  </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Emily’s legislative track record proves she doesn’t just talk the talk, she gets results and wins the toughest races. In 2018 and 2022, Emily won the most competitive state senate district in Washington by focusing on the most important issues and her track record of success.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> In Congress, Emily will fight for affordable and accessible healthcare, including reproductive freedom for all; common-sense gun reform; a just transition to a green economy; and affordable education, job training, and apprenticeship programs. Emily’s ready to go beyond partisan politics and focus on the practical solutions that address the dynamic needs of the 6th District. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and is dedicated to increasing diversity in the House and Senate by getting more Latinos and Latinas elected.

La presidenta del CHC BOLD PAC, Linda Sánchez, emitió la siguiente declaración sobre este respaldo: </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> “Emily Randall es la elección clara para el sexto distrito congresional de Washington. Como ex líder de Planned Parenthood y defensora de la clase media y trabajadora en el Senado, Emily es la única candidata en la que confiamos para enfrentar el extremismo, defender la libertad reproductiva y poner a los trabajadores de Washington por encima de las corporaciones”, </span> </span> <span> <span> dijo la presidenta de CHC BOLD PAC, Linda Sánchez. </span> </span> <span> “Emily Randall hará historia como la primera latina LGTBQ elegida para el Congreso.

Se siente impulsada por las experiencias de su familia. Cuando su hermana Olivia, quien nació con discapacidades complejas, obtuvo acceso al recién ampliado Medicaid, Emily se convirtió en una firme defensora de una atención médica de bajo costo y de calidad. Y como la primera de su familia en asistir a una universidad, Emily conoce la importancia de una educación que se alinee con las necesidades de la comunidad y conduzca a empleos con salarios bien pagados. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> El historial legislativo de Emily demuestra que ella no sólo habla lo que dice, sino que obtiene resultados y gana las carreras más difíciles. En 2018 y 2022, Emily ganó el distrito del Senado estatal más competitivo de Washington al centrarse en los temas más importantes y su historial de éxito. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> En el Congreso, Emily luchará por una atención sanitaria accesible y de bajo costo, incluida la libertad reproductiva para todos; reforma de sentido común en materia de armas; una transición justa hacia una economía verde; y programas asequibles de educación, capacitación laboral y aprendizaje. Emily está lista para ir más allá de la política partidista y centrarse en soluciones prácticas que aborden las necesidades dinámicas del 6.º Distrito. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC es el brazo de campaña del Caucus Hispano del Congreso (CHC) y se dedica a aumentar la diversidad en la Cámara y el Senado, logrando que más latinos y latinas sean elegidos.

In 2022, BOLD PAC elected the largest Democratic CHC in history, bringing nine new Latinos to the House, including four in seats that were picked up by House Democrats. This was the result of over $6 Million in direct investments for Latino candidates, the largest sum in the organization’s history. Additionally, BOLD PAC played an integral role in protecting the Democratic majority in the Senate by helping re-elect Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, the first and only Latina in the Senate.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> ### </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

This coffee shop is part of an incubator effort for Latino businesses in the area. Sanchez wants to be an incubator for Latino votes. </span> </p> <p> <span> "I'm on this mission to convince Latinos that we need more of them in Congress if we want the Congress to look like the America that it's supposed to represent," says Sanchez. </span> </p> <p> <span> Sanchez is the first woman to serve as chair of BOLD PAC, the fundraising arm for Democrats' Congressional Hispanic Caucus. The 22-year old organization helps elect and support Latino candidates and works with elected members to organize and advocate for policies. </span> </p> <p> <span> Now, for the first time Sanchez is par of a larger team of women raising money for the group. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC executive director Victoria McGroary says she and the other women on this team bring a critical perspective to the fight for Latino votes in an election where abortion will play a major role. </span> </p> <p> <span> "We want to defend our incumbents and get more Latinos and Latinas elected to Congress," says McGroary. </span> </p> <h3> <span> Latinos could help win elections in key districts </span> </h3> <p> <span> McGroary says having women at the forefront of the organization is key heading into the 2024 elections, especially as they focus on voters who could swing control of Congress and the White House. </span> </p> <p> <span> "Latinas are critically important to our efforts not only in taking back the House, but also in defending the majority in the Senate and defending the White House as well," she said. </span> </p> <p> <span> Sanchez and McGroary point to Democrats' success in the 2022 midterm elections. They said Latino voters were critical to winning in tight races an those same voters are increasingly important to success in battleground states like as Pennsylvania and Arizona. </span> </p> <p> <span> North Carolina Congressman Richard Hudson knows that argument quite well. </span> </p> <p> <span> Hudson chairs the National Republican Congressional Committee, the political arm of the House GOP. He thinks Democrats have it wrong. </span> </p> <p> <span> "Well, (Latinos) are huge voting bloc and they're certainly a bloc that Republicans continue to do better with," Hudson said. "I think we share values and I think we'll continue to do our outreach and we expect them to be a big part of our winning coalition." </span> </p> <p> <span> Hudson argues that Democrats have taken Latino voters for granted. Republicans want take advantage of that to win more House districts in places like Texas, California and Florida. </span> </p> <p> <span> Those targets also include Pennsylvania and Oregon, where smaller populations of Latino voters could mark the difference who controls Congressional chambers with razor-thin margins. </span> </p> <h3> <span> Abortion messaging could be a critical part of the campaign </span> </h3> <p> <span> Back at the L.A. County coffee shop, Sanchez says Republicans are missing one glaring obstacle this upcoming election cycle. </span> </p> <p> <span> "They continue to be be have in their blind spot the fact that reproductive rights are very motivating issue," Sanchez said. </span> </p> <p> <span> In  </span> <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/race-ethnicity/2022/09/29/hispanics-views-on-key-issues-facing-the-nation/" target="_blank"> surveys </a> <span> , a growing majority of Latinos, similar to other groups in the country, see access to abortion is a top issue, and that abortion should be legal in most or all cases. </span> </p> <p> <span> A key value for Democrats. </span> </p> <p> <span> Oregon Congresswoman Andrea Salinas knows that first hand — the freshman Democrat saw abortion play out as a major issue in her first election. </span> </p> <p> <span> "Oregon has always been very strong in defending reproductive rights," Salinas said. </span> </p> <p> <span> Salinas was the first Latina elected to Congress from the Oregon, and her district includes the state's largest share of Latinos. </span> </p> <p> <span> Salinas was recruited by BOLD PAC, who helped her overcome a huge spending disadvantage in  </span> <a href="https://www.npr.org/2022/05/11/1097691538/bitter-feuds-and-crypto-ties-inside-one-of-the-most-expensive-democratic-primari" target="_blank"> one of the most expensive congressional races in the country </a> <span> .

I know I wouldn't be here today," she said. </span> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC's members argue that although Democrats lost the House in the last election cycle for the 2022 midterms, they defeated plans for a red wave.McGroary says that old playbook, plus a bigger wave of Latino voters expected to turn out next year will spell blue wins across the country come next November. </span> </p> <p> <span> "I think we will absolutely be talking about how Latinos showed up, how they mobilized their community," McGroary says, "and they got to the polls and they voted for Democrats." </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> </div> Wed, 17 Jan 2024 20:01:55 GMT boldintern@chcboldpac.com (Bold .) https://www.boldpac.com/how-the-women-leading-democrats-push-for-latino-votes-hope-to-win-on-abortion thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/icymi-chc-bold-pac-chairwoman-linda-sanchez-speaks-with-cnns-victor-blackwell-on-how-reproductive-rights-are-a-key-issue-for-latina-voters-in-the-2024-elections <div> <img src="https://irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/bold+logo+final-01.png"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE </span> </p> <p> <span> January 10, 2024 </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> Contact: Diana Castañeda </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> Diana@chcboldpac.com </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> ICYMI: CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez Speaks With CNN’s Victor Blackwell on How Reproductive Rights Are a Key Issue </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> for Latina Voters in the 2024 Elections </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> <span>  </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span>  </span> In Case You Missed It </span> <span> : CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman, Linda Sánchez, spoke on CNN’s “First of All” with Victor Blackwell about how BOLD PAC is leading the charge to mobilize Latina voters in an election year where reproductive rights will be the defining issue and where Latina and Latino voters will play a major role in whether Democrats take back the House and defend the White House and Senate.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Key excerpts: </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <ul> <li> <span> <span> CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez highlighted the centrality of Latino voters and reproductive rights to the 2024 elections: </span> </span> <span> <span> “We saw in the results of the 2022 election that [protecting reproductive rights] was a very motivating factor, particularly for Latina voters. I think where the Republican party gets it wrong is they have this blind spot. They don’t understand that women, and Latina women in particular, see that as a fundamental right that is being slowly taken away from them, and it is a very motivating factor for them to show up, to knock doors, to turn out, and to vote. Latino voters made a difference in critical states like California and Pennsylvania and Arizona in the last election cycle, and we expect that it will be a very motivating factor for them in the 2024 election.” </span> </span> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> </li> <li> <span> Chairwoman Sánchez discussed how critical access to reproductive healthcare is to Latina women in particular </span> <span> <span> : “Half of Latina women in the United States are of child-bearing age, and they want to have the full range of access to reproductive care. They do not want the Republicans telling them what they can or cannot do with their bodies. They do not want their state’s attorney general deciding how sick or close to dying they have to be in order to access abortion care. There already is a huge discrepancy in terms of access to healthcare for Latinas to begin with, and now they see it as a critical issue for their own health and wellbeing. If Latina women don’t have access to that care, </span> </span> <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/latinas-most-impacted-abortion-bans-study-rcna54793" target="_blank"> 42% of them live in states that are taking away that right or heavily restricting that right </a> <span> , and they don’t have the economic means to travel out of state should they need that kind of care. So, it’s a very motivating factor for Latina women. BOLD PAC—which is all female-led this year, I’m the first woman to head BOLD PAC—we'll be focusing on that issue specifically for Latina voters because it’s a winning issue.” </span> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> </li> <li> <span> Chairwoman Sánchez explained that Latina voters are not a monolith, nor is their approach to reproductive healthcare and abortion </span> <span> : “I think that there will be many other people echoing that and amplifying that message where it is a successful message, which is pretty much everywhere across the United States. If you look at what’s happening in Virginia, in Ohio, and some other states, Kansas, it is a winning message. And again, there doesn’t need to be just one messenger. That’s what BOLD PAC’s work is focused on. It’s focused on recruiting Latinos and Latinas to run for Congress, combating misinformation, and getting the right messaging out, the accurate messaging out, to the Latino community.” </span> </li> </ul> <p> <span> <br/> </span> <span> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and is dedicated to increasing diversity in the House and Senate by getting more Latinos and Latinas elected.

This was the result of over $6 Million in direct investments for Latino candidates, the largest sum in the organization’s history.

CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez released the following statement on this endorsement: </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> “BOLD PAC is proud to endorse Luz Rivas in CA-29.

She has written and passed legislation to help protect workers from extreme heat, provide services for homeless youth, and prevent plastic pollution. She brought $10 million to create a Regional STEM Institute at Los Angeles Mission College. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Prior to her service in the Assembly, Rivas founded DIY (Do it Yourself) Girls, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping girls in the San Fernando Valley become interested in math and science. The organization has helped set thousands of young women on the path towards economic empowerment, independence, and self-confidence.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Luz was raised in the San Fernando Valley by a single mother who cleaned bathrooms at a local hospital. Initially, the family rented a room in a house, and later lived in a converted garage and back houses throughout the Valley.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> As a 5th grader, Luz became interested in technology and engineering. She enrolled in a state program that helped students excel in math and science and go on to college in these fields. Luz ultimately graduated from MIT with a degree in Electrical Engineering, and then received a Masters of Education from Harvard University. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and is dedicated to increasing diversity in the House and Senate by getting more Latinos and Latinas elected.

La organización ha ayudado a encaminar a miles de mujeres jóvenes hacia el empoderamiento económico, la independencia y la confianza en sí mismas. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Luz fue criada en el Valle de San Fernando por una madre soltera quien limpiaba baños en un hospital local. Inicialmente, la familia alquiló una habitación en una casa y luego vivió en un garaje reformado y en casas traseras en todo el Valle. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Cuando estaba en quinto grado, Luz se interesó en la tecnología y la ingeniería, se inscribió en un programa estatal que ayudaba a los estudiantes a sobresalir en matemáticas y ciencias y a ir a la universidad en estos campos.

En 2022, BOLD PAC eligió al CHC demócrata más grande de la historia, trayendo nueve nuevos latinos a la Cámara, incluidos cuatro escaños que fueron retomados por los demócratas en la Cámara. Este fue el resultado de más de $6 millones en inversiones directas para candidatos latinos, la suma más grande en la historia de la organización. Además, BOLD PAC desempeñó un papel integral en la protección de la mayoría demócrata en el Senado, al ayudar a reelegir a la Senadora Catherine Cortez Masto, la primera y única latina en el Senado. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> ### </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC, el brazo de campaña del Hispanic Caucus, fue fundado en 2001 para aumentar la representación latina en el Congreso.

The 22-year old organization helps elect and support Latino candidates and works with elected members to organize and advocate for policies. </span> </span> </li> <li> <span> <span> "I'm on this mission to convince Latinos that we need more of them in Congress if we want the Congress to look like the America that it's supposed to represent," said </span> </span> <span> BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez. </span> </li> <li> <span> <span> Now, for the first time Sánchez is part of a larger team of women raising money for the group. </span> </span> <span> <span> BOLD PAC executive director Victoria McGroary </span> </span> <span> says she and the other women on this team bring a critical perspective to the fight for Latino votes in an election where abortion will play a major role. </span> </li> <li> <span> <span> "Latinas are critically important to our efforts not only in taking back the House, but also in defending the majority in the Senate and defending the White House as well," said </span> </span> <span> BOLD PAC Executive Director Victoria McGroary. </span> </li> <li> <span> Sánchez and McGroary point to Democrats' success in the 2022 midterm elections. They said Latino voters were critical to winning in tight races and those same voters are increasingly important to success in battleground states like Pennsylvania and Arizona. </span> </li> <li> <span> <span> Sánchez </span> </span> <span> says Republicans are missing one glaring obstacle this upcoming election cycle. "They continue to be in their blind spot, the fact that reproductive rights are a very motivating issue," Sánchez said. </span> </li> <li> <span> In surveys, a growing majority of Latinos, similar to other groups in the country, see access to abortion as a top issue, and that abortion should be legal in most or all cases. </span> </li> <li> <span> Oregon Congresswoman Andrea Salinas </span> <span> <span> knows that first hand — the freshman Democrat saw abortion play out as a major issue in her first election. "Oregon has always been very strong in defending reproductive rights," said BOLD PAC’s member Rep. Andrea Salinas.\ </span> </span> </li> <li> <span> Salinas was recruited by BOLD PAC </span> <span> , who helped her overcome a huge spending disadvantage in one of the most expensive congressional races in the country. One key Democratic opponent was funded by ex-cryptocurrency magnet Sam Bankman-Fried, who was convicted of financial crimes last month. </span> </li> <li> <span> <span> "I had a really tough election and if it weren't for BOLD PAC stepping up for Latinas in our last cycle...

Linda Sánchez is on a mission to increase Latino representation in Congress. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Sánchez, in March, took over the helm of the BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus that works to elect Latino and Latina Democrats to Congress. The goal, she said, is to ensure Congress is more representative of those who vote lawmakers into office, and the political action committee does that through recruiting candidates, providing financial assistance and making endorsements. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “If we don’t have elected representatives that are making policy decisions that look like the Americans they represent, chances are they’re going to get that policy wrong,” said Sánchez, whose district includes a portion of Los Angeles and Orange counties. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Southern California plays an outsized role in the PAC’s strategy for 2024, said BOLD PAC’s executive director, Victoria McGroary. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “California is just so critical for our efforts as a party to take back the House,” said McGroary. “The key is really going to run through California in terms of who has the majority in the House.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> The PAC is focused on three congressional races in Southern California: CA-31, CA-40 and CA-45. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> The 40th and 45th congressional districts are held by two incumbent Republicans, Reps. Young Kim and Michelle Steel, respectively. They are </span> </span> <a href="https://www.ocregister.com/2021/03/28/young-kim-and-michelle-steel-carve-out-different-paths-in-congress/" target="_blank"> two of the first three Korean American women elected to Congress </a> <span> <span> and work with Republicans to court Asian voters. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> In CA-40, which covers eastern Orange County and a bit of western Riverside and San Bernardino counties, the PAC is backing Allyson Muñiz Damikolas, the first Latina elected to the Tustin Unified School Board. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> 40th Congressional District </span> </p> <p> <span> Covers eastern Orange County plus small portions of western San Bernardino and Riverside counties. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> For CA-45, covering Orange County and a portion of Los Angeles County, the PAC is supporting Garden Grove Councilmember Kim Nguyen-Penaloza, the daughter of a Vietnamese refugee and a Mexican immigrant. When she first won her seat on the Garden Grove City Council — where she represents the eastern District 6, home to the city’s densest population of Hispanic Americans and Christ Cathedral — she became its first member of Latin American descent. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> 45th Congressional District </span> </p> <p> <span> In Orange County and a portion of Los Angeles County. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> And in the San Gabriel Valley seat, it’s former Rep. Gil Cisneros who has the PAC’s support. Cisneros flipped an Orange County seat blue in 2018 but lost it to Kim in a 2020 rematch. Cisneros, who was the undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness in the Biden administration, is vying for an open seat as longtime Rep. Grace Napolitano is retiring. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> 31st Congressional District </span> </p> <p> <span> In Los Angeles County </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “In all of those (races), it’s really about us making sure that those candidates just have really strong campaigns, that they are doing everything that needs to get done to really build up a successful operation that can win, that can reach out to voters, that is culturally competent,” McGroary said. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Getting Latino candidates on the ballot is important for two particular reasons, said McGroary: representation and voter turnout. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “It’s so important for our community to be well-represented because that is how our community is able to really prosper and thrive. When we have Latinos at the decision-making table, that’s how we know our values are represented,” said. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Still, “it’s not just about representation … but it’s also smart strategy, smart politics,” McGroary continued. “When Latinos are on the ballot, Latinos vote for them.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> That was a message given, too, by California Democrats during the party’s endorsing convention in Sacramento earlier this month. State party leaders convened a panel to discuss how the party targets Latino voters, young and old.

CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez released the following statement on this endorsement: </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> “BOLD PAC is proud to endorse Rudy Salas in CA-22. As a lifelong resident of the Central Valley Rudy has been a strong advocate for clean water projects, universal access to healthcare, and reproductive freedom,” </span> </span> <span> <span> said CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez. </span> </span> <span> “Rudy was the first Latino Bakersfield City Council Member in its 112-history and during his term in the California State Assembly, he made it his mission to stand side by side with Central Valley working families and delivered real results to the Latino community. In Congress, he'll continue delivering for working families and will continue fighting against Republican extremism.”  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> “I’m honored to have BOLD PAC’s endorsement.

In his last two years in the assembly, he secured $290 million of dedicated investments for clean water Central Valley projects.  </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> He led the fight to save FFA (Future Farmers of America), delivered funding to graduate more nurses and doctors in the Valley and helped pass legislation that saved local hospitals from closing so thousands of rural families didn’t lose access to life saving care.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Rudy is ready to flip the seat in CA-22 and continue delivering real results to the working families of the Central Valley.

En sus últimos dos años en la asamblea, obtuvo $290 millones en inversiones dedicadas a proyectos de agua potable en el Valle Central. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Lideró la lucha para salvar a FFA (Future Farmers of America), entregó fondos para que más enfermeras y médicos se lograran graduar en el Valle y ayudó a aprobar legislación que salvó el cierre de hospitales locales para que miles de familias rurales no perdieran el acceso a atención médica crucial que salva vidas. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Rudy está listo para convertir la silla congresional de CA-22 en azul y continuar brindando resultados reales a las familias trabajadoras del Valle Central.

If she doesn’t know the Spanish version of a word, she’ll use the English, and vice versa. The mishmash, known as Spanglish, comes naturally. Those around her understand her, at least most of the time. </span> <span> <br/> </span> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> The Silver Spring, Md., resident is the kind of young Hispanic voter attracting increasing attention from political operatives who advocate that campaigns use the blended language in advertising and other outreach as the 2024 election cycle accelerates. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> The language — a portmanteau of English and Spanish that blends words, grammar and dialects from both tongues — is growing in popularity in the United States as the country’s Hispanic population grows. Currently, 19 percent of the U.S. population identifies as Hispanic, a new high </span> </span> <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/09/05/who-is-hispanic/" target="_blank"> according to </a> <span> <span> the Pew Research Center, which also </span> </span> <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/race-ethnicity/2023/09/20/latinos-views-of-and-experiences-with-the-spanish-language/" target="_blank"> found </a> <span> <span> that 63 percent of Hispanics in the United States speak Spanglish at least sometimes in their day-to-day life. Forty percent say they speak it often. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> Operatives who are urging campaigns to reach young voters in Spanglish argue that its use not only reflects the nation’s changing demographics but is also a way to meet voters with a lingo that feels more familiar and approachable. </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> For Rodriguez, Spanglish has proved handy in explaining to her father how U.S. elections work. He is about to become a U.S. citizen and, if the timing works, he’ll be able to cast his first votes in the next election. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Especially now that my dad is in the process of becoming a U.S. citizen, it requires me to explain to him more things so he’s aware, whenever he does get the opportunity to vote for the first time,” Rodriguez said. “And my dad only speaks Spanish. So, with him, the idea of Spanglish is very much real.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> While campaigns have used Spanish to target Hispanic voters for decades, Spanglish has made only sporadic appearances in political messaging. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> For many young Latinos who grew up in bilingual homes in the United States, the mix of languages is something akin to a mother tongue. And the reality is, the U.S. political system has a vocabulary that at times can be difficult to translate to Spanish without sounding awkward or forced. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> Words such as “vote” and </span> </span> <span> “votar,” </span> <span> <span> and “Senate” and </span> </span> <span> “Senado,” </span> <span> <span> sound and look similar enough in both languages. But more complex terms such as “caucus,” “comptroller” and “primary” don’t have such simple Spanish translations. </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> This is where Spanglish can come in handy, Rodriguez said. It makes explaining the complex world of American politics much easier. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> “There’s times where I’m really trying to explain something to either of my parents, but because I just can’t find those technical words in Spanish, I have to resort to using English,” Rodriguez said. </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> Among those introducing Spanglish in their messaging is Bold PAC, the campaign arm of the Democratic-aligned Congressional Hispanic Caucus, which during last year’s campaign cycle encouraged now-Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) to connect with voters using Spanglish alongside English and Spanish. </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “If we are missing Spanglish, then we are missing a very big part of what it means to do outreach to Latinos,” said Bold PAC’s Executive Director Victoria McGroary. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> For Frost, who is Latino and the first Gen Z member of Congress, using Spanglish in a campaign ad was a no-brainer. </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> The freshman congressman was raised in a Cuban American household, which means he’s always found himself seamlessly shifting between English and Spanish within the same sentence. He figured that Latinos who were raised in similarly multilingual households would feel represented by the use of Spanglish on his campaign advertisements “because that’s how they speak.” </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> “What you see a lot of, too, with younger Latinos is, maybe at home, they may speak full Spanish to their mom and dad — ‘en esta casa, vamo’ a hablar español’-kinda thing — and then when they go out and they’re with their friends, they’re speaking Spanglish,” Frost said. </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> Bold PAC wants to replicate Frost’s Spanglish ad with new congressional campaigns nationwide in communities where voters also go from one language to the other. Rep. Linda T. Sánchez (D-Calif.), who chairs the committee, said she’s seen the use of Spanglish grow exponentially, particularly in states such as California, Arizona and Nevada. Voters there, she said, can expect to see more Spanglish messaging next year. </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Those working on President Biden’s reelection effort have also caught on to the growing use of Spanglish. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> “Whether it’s in English, Spanish, or Spanglish, we’ll be communicating about the Biden administration’s accomplishments,” said Pili Tobar, who served as director of coalitions during Biden’s 2020 campaign and who is now running Future Forward USA Action, a nonprofit group with an associated super PAC closely tied to White House aides. </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> Sanchez, who grew up speaking Spanish at home, says it thrills her to see Spanglish become so commonplace, especially after members of her parents’ generation were punished for using Spanish in school and were often advised against passing on Spanish to their children. But that has changed now, she said, noting that there is a trend among American Hispanics, whether they speak Spanish or not, to encourage the use of Spanish within their families. </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Spanglish, she said, offers an opportunity to bridge that between old and new generations. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> As for those who may complain that Spanglish is not a real language, Sanchez said the use of the language is not for them to understand. </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “I don’t have to justify using Spanglish to people who are non-Spanglish speakers,” she said. “As a Spanish literature major, the first thing I learned was: If a population speaks a certain language, it’s a legitimate language, and it’s useful." </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Democrats are not the only ones looking to adapt to the way younger Latinos communicate. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Tex.), who also grew up in a Spanish-speaking household and co-chairs the Republican-aligned Congressional Hispanic Conference, said the CHC’s campaign arm is looking to grow its reach among Hispanic voters, not only by sharpening the languages in which campaigns should target voters — Spanglish included — but also by hiring more Hispanic political operatives who can produce effective messages that are accurately translated and do not feel strained. </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “[You can’t have] someone that is completely removed from a culture trying to deliver a message, that just is like oil and water,” he said. “It’s not only important to grow the number of members of Congress, but also to grow the staff on the official side and on the unofficial side.” </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The most powerful campaign messages, he said, are those that are “reflective of the district.” </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “Oftentimes you have some of the political pundits or these folks from national that will parachute in and they ‘know what’s best’ because they’ve run 100 different races, and X, Y or Z, not knowing [that] the dialect matters,” he said. “The tone matters.” </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Michael Scherer contributed to this report. </span> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> Fri, 13 Oct 2023 20:51:14 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/in-an-effort-to-attract-younger-hispanic-voters-campaigns-are-turning-to-spanglish news thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/boldpac <div> <img src="https://irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/bold+logo+final-01.png"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE </span> </p> <p> <span> October 10, 2023 </span> </p> <p> <span> Contact: Diana Castaneda </span> </p> <p> <span> Diana@chcboldpac.com </span> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> ICYMI: </span> </span> <span> Washington Post </span> <span> <span> Highlights BOLD PAC’s Cutting Edge Latino Messaging </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> In Case You Missed It </span> <span> <span> : </span> </span> <span> CHC BOLD PAC – the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus – was recently highlighted in the Washington Post for being at the forefront of innovative messaging that uses Spanglish as a new tool to mobilize Latino voters.

Gil is all about service: from his decade serving in our Navy, to his educational foundation supporting San Gabriel Valley students, to fighting for working families in Washington, Gil is exactly the kind of leader we need back in Congress. He has delivered on economic investment, pushed to stop gun violence, and made strides to protect our environment. I look forward to getting Gil back on the Hill,” </span> </span> <span> said CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> “BOLD PAC is thrilled to support Joe Vogel in his historic run to become Maryland’s first Latino Member of Congress. Maryland’s 6th Congressional District has a significant Latino population, and electing Joe would give these communities a powerful voice in Congress. An immigrant from Uruguay, Joe has devoted his career to advocating for his community, and has been a force for progress in the legislature. Our country needs a new generation of Latino leaders in government, and we look forward to helping elect Joe Vogel to Congress,” </span> </span> <span> said CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> “I am humbled to be endorsed again by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus’s BOLD PAC. The Congressional Hispanic Caucus exists to empower Latino voices and give Latinos a seat at the table, and I have dedicated my life to doing just that. Here in the San Gabriel Valley, I established a foundation that provides educational opportunities for Latino students and veterans, and I look forward to continuing the work of furthering diversity in Congress." </span> </span> <span> said Gil Cisneros. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> “I’m honored to have the support of the CHC BOLD PAC in my run to represent Maryland’s 6th Congressional District in Congress. As an immigrant from Uruguay and one of the growing number of Latino elected leaders in Maryland, I know how important it is for our community to have a voice in Congress. Maryland has never elected a Latino to Congress, and hasn’t elected an immigrant in over 200 years — we’re going to change that next year. I applaud BOLD’s commitment to elevating the next generation of Latino leaders, and I’m looking forward to working with CHC Members to advocate for the Latino community in MD-6, and across the country,” </span> </span> <span> said Joe Vogel. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> <span> ABOUT GIL CISNEROS  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> The proud son of a Vietnam veteran and a cafeteria worker, Gil Cisneros knows what it takes to be a hard worker and leader. Through his ten years of service as U.S Naval Officer, Gil has been awarded some of the most prestigious awards, including the Navy Commendation Medal and the Navy Achievement Medal. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> Gil dedicated himself to philanthropy. Together with his wife, Gil partnered with the Hispanic Scholarship Fund and the City of Pico Rivera to create Generation First Degree Pico Rivera, with the goal of putting a college degree in every household in the city, and communities across the San Gabriel Valley. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> In 2019 Gil was first elected to serve in Congress for California’s 39th Congressional district where he successfully helped recover $550k for constituents and brought $136M in non-COVID related grants for infrastructure and services. He stood up to Donald Trump and voted to impeach him for abuse of power and obstruction of justice. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> He most recently served as Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness and the Military’s Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer. In this position he was able to ensure employees had basic rights protected and implemented the Pentagon’s newest abortion policy for military personnel. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> Gil graduated with a B.A. in Political Science from The George Washington University, holds an MBA from Regis University and M.A. in Urban Education Policy from Brown. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> ABOUT JOE VOGEL </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> Joe was born in Uruguay and immigrated to the U.S with his parents when he was three years old. From being a community leader to being a State Delegate in Maryland, Joe Vogel is a reflection that anything is possible in this country. In his career, Joe has led bipartisan legislation to address some of our most pressing challenges like addressing the fentanyl crisis and making major investments in mental health services. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> He brought more mental health professionals into Maryland public schools and amended Governor Moore’s Educator Shortage Act which ensures that Maryland students will have a world-class education while having access to mental health resources when needed. For the fentanyl crisis, he gained bipartisan support to pass the Josh Siems Act which helped improve fentanyl testing processes in Maryland hospitals. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Joe has spent many years in advocacy, starting at 15 years old when he volunteered for Obama’s campaign. In 2016, he joined Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign as well. He did not give up when Donald Trump won, jumping into the fight to advocate for gun-violence prevention, reproductive rights, and LGBTQIA+ rights. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span>  Joe has continued to organize in his community and fought to increase education funding for Maryland students by founding Learn it Together, a nationwide education nonprofit that provides free tutoring for children of essential workers. Joe is ready to continue fighting for Marylanders if elected to Congress.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> <span> CHC BOLD PAC <br/> </span> <span> <br/>  BOLD PAC is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and is dedicated to increasing diversity in the House and Senate by getting more Latinos and Latinas elected.

El Caucus Hispano del Congreso existe para empoderar las voces latinas y darles a los latinos un asiento en la mesa, y he dedicado mi vida a hacer precisamente eso. Aquí en el Valle de San Gabriel, establecí una fundación que brinda oportunidades educativas para estudiantes y veteranos latinos, y espero continuar el trabajo de promover la diversidad en el Congreso", </span> <span> <span> dijo Gil Cisneros. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> SOBRE GIL CISNEROS </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Gil Cisneros, orgulloso hijo de un veterano de Vietnam y una trabajadora de una cafetería, sabe lo que se necesita para ser un gran trabajador y líder. A lo largo de sus diez años de servicio como oficial naval de los EE. UU., Gil ha recibido varios de los reconocimientos más prestigiosos, incluidos la Medalla de elogio de la Marina y la Medalla de logros de la Marina. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Gil se dedicó a la filantropía.

CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez released the following statement on this endorsement: </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> “BOLD PAC is proud to endorse Raquel Terán in AZ-03. As a daughter of immigrants and community organizer, Raquel is a fierce advocate for reproductive rights, public schools, and better wages, who prioritizes the needs of Arizona’s working families,” </span> </span> <span> said CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez </span> <span> . “Raquel worked hard to defeat the notorious SB 1070 racial-profiling law in Arizona and later was elected to work in the state legislature where she helped protect the state's minimum wage that gave paid sick leave to all Arizona workers.

In 2011, Raquel helped build a powerful coalition of Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Latinos, union members, educators, and youth activists to oust a sitting legislator – Senator Russell Pearce – author of the notorious SB 1070 “show me your papers law.” In 2016, she led the same coalition to reject Joe Arpaio.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> In 2018, she was elected to the Arizona Legislature. As a state legislator, she helped protect the state's minimum wage, expand access to healthcare, and protect women’s right to choose.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> In 2022, Raquel brought her coalition together once again to reject GOP extremists like Kari Lake and help elect a Democratic Governor, Secretary of State, and Attorney General for the first time in decades.

Es una orgullosa hija de inmigrantes mexicanos, organizadora comunitaria y defensora de las familias trabajadoras de Arizona. </span> </p> <p> <span> <span>  </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> Raquel ha pasado la mayor parte de su carrera luchando contra las políticas antiinmigrantes republicanas. En 2011, Raquel ayudó a construir una poderosa coalición de demócratas, republicanos, independientes, latinos, sindicalistas, educadores y activistas juveniles para derrocar al legislador en ejercicio, el senador Russell Pearce, autor del infame proyecto de ley SB 1070 “muéstrame tus papeles”.

Debbie Mucarsel-Powell in the Florida Senate race. </span> </span> <span> CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez released the following statement on the endorsement: </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> “As the first South American immigrant elected to the U.S. House, former Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell has fought tirelessly for hard-working families. From working to expand Medicare, bringing jobs to Florida, and fighting for economic relief for families and small businesses, Debbie has always worked in the best interest of Florida’s working families,” </span> </span> <span> said CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> <span> <span> “Debbie knows what it means to work hard to pursue the American Dream. She immigrated from Ecuador at just 14 years old, and her mother worked double shifts as a home-health aide while Debbie paid her own way through school. At 24, she lost her father to gun violence, which is why Debbie has been a lifelong advocate for keeping guns out of the hands of dangerous criminals. We need her leadership in the Senate to keep our children and communities safe, to defend Social Security and Medicare, and to protect women’s reproductive rights from the hands of extreme Republicans like Rick Scott,” </span> </span> <span> <span> Chairwoman Sánchez continued. </span> </span> <span> “We’re proud to stand with Debbie Mucarsel-Powell in her campaign to represent the people of Florida in the U.S. Senate and to continue fighting alongside her for Latinos across the country.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> “My story is Florida’s story. I came to this country at 14 in search of the American Dream,” </span> </span> <span> said Debbie Mucarsel-Powell. </span> <span> <span> “My mother brought me here so we could live in a country with opportunities for all — and now, I’m running for Senate to make sure that opportunity is there for every Floridian. But Rick Scott only looks out for himself. He’s even trying to raise taxes on our families and wrote a plan to end Social Security and Medicare coverage for seniors like my mom, who we take care of in our home. I’m honored to have BOLD PAC’s endorsement, and together, I know we will stand up for Floridians and defeat Rick Scott.” </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> <span> DEBBIE MUCARSEL-POWELL </span> <span> <br/> </span> <span> <br/> Debbie Mucarsel-Powell came to the U.S. from South America at a young age with her mom and sisters, fleeing violence and searching for a better life. Debbie was raised in Florida and worked at a doughnut shop to help support her family, while her mother worked double shifts as a home-health care provider. After supporting herself through school and college, Debbie worked for Florida International University's Colleges of Health and Medicine, where she led a program to expand access to affordable healthcare to more Floridians. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> <span> <span> In 2018, Debbie defeated Carlos Curbelo, a two-term Republican incumbent in Florida’s 26th District and became the first South American immigrant elected to the House. Serving in Congress, Debbie wrote a bill to expand seniors’ Medicare Advantage coverage, fought to provide economic relief to families and small businesses, and secured $200 million for Everglades restoration. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> Debbie has been a lifelong advocate for keeping guns out of the hands of dangerous criminals, after tragically losing her father to gun violence when she was 24 years old.  </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Now, she is running for the U.S. Senate because Floridians’ basic rights are under attack. Extremist Republican Rick Scott wants to cut Social Security and Medicare coverage, raise taxes for working families, and advance a national abortion ban. Floridians deserve a Senator like Debbie, and our nation needs a second Latina Senator who will fight for our democracy, economy, and our rights. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span>  Debbie and her husband Robert live in Miami and have three children. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> <span> CHC BOLD PAC <br/> </span> <span> <br/>  BOLD PAC is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and is dedicated to increasing diversity in the House and Senate by getting more Latinos and Latinas elected.

Desde trabajar por expandir Medicaid, por traer empleos a Florida y luchar por brindar alivio económico a las familias y pequeñas empresas, Debbie siempre ha trabajado en el mejor interés de las familias trabajadoras de Florida”, </span> </span> <span> dijo Linda Sánchez, presidenta de CHC BOLD PAC. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> <span> <span> “Debbie sabe lo que significa trabajar duro para alcanzar el sueño americano. Emigró de Ecuador con sólo 14 años y su madre trabajaba doble turno como asistente de atención médica a domicilio, mientras Debbie ayudaba a pagar sus propios estudios. A los 24 años, perdió a su padre a causa de la violencia armada, razón por la cual Debbie ha sido una defensora durante toda su vida por mantener las armas fuera del alcance de delincuentes peligrosos. Necesitamos su liderazgo en el Senado para mantener seguros a nuestros niños y comunidades, defender el Seguro Social y Medicare y proteger los derechos reproductivos de las mujeres de las manos de republicanos extremistas como Rick Scott”, </span> </span> <span> continuó la presidenta Sánchez. </span> <span> <span> "Estamos orgullosos en apoyar a Debbie Mucarsel-Powell en su campaña para representar al pueblo de Florida en el Senado de los Estados Unidos y seguir luchando junto a ella por los latinos en todo el país". </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “Mi historia es la historia de Florida. Llegué a este país a los 14 años en busca del sueño americano”, </span> <span> <span> dijo Debbie Mucarsel-Powell. </span> </span> <span> <span> “Mi madre me trajo aquí para que pudiéramos vivir en un país con oportunidades para todos y ahora me postulo para el Senado para asegurarme de que existan oportunidades para todos los floridanos. Pero Rick Scott sólo se preocupa por sí mismo. Incluso está tratando de aumentar los impuestos a nuestras familias y redactó un plan para poner fin a la cobertura del Seguro Social y Medicare para personas mayores como mi madre, a quienes cuidamos en nuestra casa. Es un honor para mí contar con el respaldo de BOLD PAC y juntos, sé que defenderemos a los floridanos y derrotaremos a Rick Scott”. </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> DEBBIE MUCARSEL-POWELL </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> Debbie Mucarsel-Powell llegó a los Estados Unidos desde Sudamérica a una edad temprana con su madre y sus hermanas, huyendo de la violencia y buscando una vida mejor. Debbie se crió en Florida y trabajó en una tienda de donas para ayudar a mantener a su familia, mientras que su madre trabajaba turno doble como proveedora de atención médica domiciliaria. Después de mantenerse a sí misma en la escuela y la universidad, Debbie trabajó para las Facultades de Salud y Medicina de la Universidad Internacional de Florida, donde dirigió un programa para ampliar el acceso a atención médica asequible para más floridanos. </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> En 2018, Debbie derrotó a Carlos Curbelo, un titular republicano durante dos mandatos en el Distrito 26 de Florida y se convirtió en la primera inmigrante sudamericana en ser elegida para la Cámara de Representantes. Debbie, quien sirvió en el Congreso, redactó un proyecto de ley para ampliar la cobertura Medicare Advantage para personas mayores, luchó por brindar alivio económico a familias y pequeñas empresas, y obtuvo $200 millones para la restauración de los Everglades. </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Debbie ha sido una defensora durante toda su vida de mantener las armas fuera del alcance de delincuentes peligrosos, después de perder trágicamente a su padre a causa de la violencia armada cuando ella tenía 24 años. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> Ahora se postula para el Senado de los Estados Unidos porque los derechos básicos de los floridanos están siendo atacados. El republicano extremista Rick Scott quiere recortar la cobertura del Seguro Social y Medicare, aumentar los impuestos para las familias trabajadoras y presionar para que se prohíba el aborto a nivel nacional. Los floridanos merecen una senadora como Debbie, y nuestra nación necesita una segunda senadora latina que luche por nuestra democracia, economía y por nuestros derechos. </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Debbie y su esposo Robert viven en Miami y tienen tres hijos. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span> <span>  </span> </span> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC es el brazo de campaña del Caucus Hispano del Congreso (CHC) y se dedica a aumentar la diversidad en la Cámara y el Senado al lograr que más latinos y latinas sean elegidos.

She comes from a big family of farm workers, immigrants, and entrepreneurs. Michelle deeply understands the importance of access to affordable healthcare. Her mother, Maribel, passed away in 2010 after fighting Multiple Sclerosis for 15 years. Michelle would often have to travel with her mother, across the border into Mexico, for her mother to obtain medical care due to the lack of options in South Texas. That experience led Michelle to fight to increase medical coverage for South Texans.

En 2022, BOLD PAC eligió al CHC demócrata más grande de la historia, trayendo nueve nuevos latinos a la Cámara, incluidos cuatro escaños que fueron retomados por los demócratas de la Cámara. Este fue el resultado de más de $6 millones en inversiones directas para candidatos latinos, la suma más grande en la historia de la organización.

Wade. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Cuando se habla acerca de los derechos reproductivos es importante tomar en cuenta que las latinas provienen de diversos entornos socioeconómicos, tradiciones religiosas y países de origen”, destaca BOLD PAC. <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> La iniciativa destaca que las latinas son de las poblaciones “desproporcionadamente afectadas” por la </span> <span> <span> falta de </span> </span> <span> <span> </span> </span> <span> acceso a la atención médica </span> <span> , particularmente sobre los derechos reproductivos. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Las latinas […] quieren que los políticos dejen de dictarles qué hacer con sus propios cuerpos”, se indica. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Esta nueva herramienta explica los conceptos básicos, para evitar las traducciones literales. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Por ejemplo, cuando se habla de que la Corte Suprema “overturned” una guía sobre el aborto, la traducción literal que a veces se aplica es “echar para atrás” o “volcar”, pero debería ser “revocar” o “revertir”. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> Además de exponer una traducción al español mejor aplicada, </span> </span> <span> la iniciativa también </span> <span> <span> </span> </span> <span> explica decisiones </span> <span> <span> </span> </span> <span> judiciales o los programas </span> <span> <span> </span> </span> <span> de gobierno específicos </span> <span> , además de exponer datos concretos sobre las distintas problemáticas que abordará, como en este caso señalar que más del 58% de las latinas está en edad del embarazo y requiere planes de atención médica reproductiva. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> La versión beta de la plataforma explicó que “unemployment” no se traduce correctamente como “paro laboral” o “desocupación”, sino como “desempleo”, además de indicar que en EE.UU. la población latina, a marzo de este año, tenía una tasa de desempleo del 4.6%. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> BOLD PAC lanzará esta plataforma en sus redes sociales y en su </span> </span> <a href="https://www.boldpac.com/bold-translate" target="_blank"> página web </a> <span> <span> camino a las elecciones del 2024. </span> </span> </p> </div> Tue, 27 Jun 2023 19:39:47 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/que-es-bold-translate-y-por-que-es-util-para-latinos news thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/chc-bold-pac-announces-new-endorsements-for-2024 <div> <img src="https://irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/bold+logo+final-01.png"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE </span> </p> <p> <span> May 23, 2023 </span> </p> <p> <span> Contact: Diana Castaneda </span> </p> <p> <span> Diana@chcboldpac.com </span> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC Announces New Endorsements for 2024 </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> Washington, D.C. - </span> </span> <span> <span> As a part of its commitment to expanding Latino representation in both the U.S. House and Senate, today CHC BOLD PAC is endorsing two candidates in key districts – Tim Sanchez in CA-12 (22.4% Latino population) and Kim Nguyen in CA-45 (31.4% Latino population). CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez released the following statement on these endorsements: <br/> <br/> “We are thrilled to endorse these talented candidates who have demonstrated their commitment to a better and more equitable future for working Americans, and have the experience to lead,” </span> </span> <span> said Chairwoman Linda Sánchez </span> <span> <span> . <br/> <br/> “Tim Sanchez is an Oakland native, a veteran and small business owner who, as the proud son of a Puerto Rican mother and a Mexican-American father, understands that diversity and hard work are our nation’s greatest strengths. We know Tim will be a partner and leading voice in Congress on the issues that matter most to working Americans. CHC BOLD PAC is proud to endorse Tim, who understands what it means to serve his country and is now ready to serve his home state of California in Congress,” </span> </span> <span> Sánchez added </span> <span> <span> . <br/> <br/> “The daughter of a Vietnamese refugee and a Mexican immigrant and the first in her family to graduate high school and college, Kim Nguyen has lived through some of the same challenges working families in Southern California face every day. While Republicans continue to fail working families in California, Kim will be the leader they deserve in Congress. She will fight to strengthen our democracy, lower costs for all working families, and keep our communities safe from gun violence. Kim could be the first Asian-Latina in Congress and CHC BOLD PAC is proud to support her,” </span> </span> <span> said Sánchez </span> <span> <span> . <br/> <br/> “I’m excited and grateful to earn CHC BOLD PAC’s endorsement as I run to deliver progressive solutions for the East Bay that will improve our lives,” said Tim Sanchez. “As someone who was thrust into adulthood as a teenage dad and went on to serve my country in the military, finish school, and now run for Congress, I’ve truly lived the American dream. I want to help others who have the odds stacked against them realize their dreams too. We need bold leadership in Washington now more than ever to deliver good jobs and economic opportunity for everyone, make affordable, accessible healthcare a reality and take on MAGA Republicans who are threatening our democracy,” </span> </span> <span> said Tim Sanchez </span> <span> <span> . <br/> <br/> "As the daughter of a Mexican Immigrant and proud Latina I'm honored to have earned the endorsement and confidence of CHC BOLD PAC. Our country is at a crossroads and MAGA Republicans are threatening democracy, hurting working people, cutting aid to veterans, and putting their loyalty to the gun lobby over our children's lives.These aren't the values I was taught and these aren't the values of our community. Southern California families deserve someone who will fight for them everyday in Washington, not special interests. I'm grateful for CHC BOLD PAC's support and look forward to working with them to flip CA-45 and win back this seat for working families," </span> </span> <span> said Kim Nguyen </span> <span> . <br/> <br/> </span> <span> ABOUT TIM SANCHEZ (CA-12) <br/> </span> <span> <br/> Born and raised in Oakland by a Puerto Rican mother and a Mexican-American father, Tim Sanchez was surrounded by a large family deeply ingrained in the East Bay community. Being a teen parent, he figured out early in life how to face challenges head on, learning lessons that have served him well in a distinguished career as an entrepreneur, small business owner, active duty service member, and financial services professional. Tim understands firsthand the issues that affect working families in his district, and he is prepared to serve California's 12th congressional district through his strong leadership.  <br/> <br/> </span> <span> ABOUT KIM NGUYEN (CA-45) <br/> </span> <span> <br/> The daughter of a Vietnamese refugee and a Mexican immigrant, Kim Bernice Nguyen was the first in her family to graduate high school and college. At just 25, she won a historic election as the youngest person and first Latina ever elected to the Garden Grove City Council. Kim is a pioneer on women's and healthcare issues who has stood up to harassment, fought for equality and justice across Southern California, and fought to give immigrants like her parents the respect and opportunity to succeed. </span> <br/> <br/> <span> CHC BOLD PAC <br/> </span> <span> <br/>  BOLD PAC is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and is dedicated to increasing diversity in the House and Senate by getting more Latinos and Latinas elected. In 2022, BOLD PAC elected the largest Democratic CHC in history, bringing nine new Latinos to the House, including four in seats that were picked up by House Democrats.

La presidenta de CHC BOLD PAC, Linda Sánchez, emitió la siguiente declaración sobre este respaldo: <br/> <br/> “Estamos complacidos en anunciar nuestro apoyo a estos candidatos talentosos que han demostrado su dedicación en la lucha por un mejor futuro para las familias trabajadoras y tienen la experiencia para liderar”, </span> </span> <span> dijo Linda Sánchez, presidenta de CHC BOLD PAC </span> <span> <span> . <br/> <br/> “Tim Sánchez es nativo de Oakland, un veterano y propietario de una pequeña empresa que, como orgulloso hijo de madre puertorriqueña y padre mexicoamericaro, entiende que la diversidad y el trabajo arduo son las mayores fortalezas de nuestra nación. Sabemos que Tim será un aliado y una voz destacada en el Congreso, que defenderá los temas que más importan a los trabajadores estadounidenses. CHC BOLD PAC se enorgullece en respaldar a Tim, quien entiende lo que significa servir a su país y ahora está listo para servir a su estado natal de California en el Congreso”, </span> </span> <span> agregó Sánchez </span> <span> <span> . <br/> <br/> “Hija de un refugiado vietnamita y una inmigrante mexicana y la primera en su familia en graduarse de la escuela secundaria y la universidad, Kim Nguyen ha vivido algunos de los desafíos que enfrentan las familias trabajadoras en el sur de California todos los días. Mientras los republicanos continúan fallando a las familias trabajadoras en California, Kim será la líder que se merecen en el Congreso. Ella luchará por fortalecer nuestra democracia, reducir los costos para todas las familias trabajadoras y mantener a nuestras comunidades a salvo de la violencia armada. Kim podría ser la primera asiática-latina en el Congreso y CHC BOLD PAC se enorgullece de apoyarla”, </span> </span> <span> dijo Sánchez </span> <span> <span> . <br/> <br/> “Estoy emocionado y agradecido al obtener el respaldo de CHC BOLD PAC mientras me postulo para ofrecer soluciones progresistas para East Bay que mejorarán nuestras vidas”, dijo Tim Sanchez. “Como alguien que fue empujado a la edad adulta siendo padre adolescente y sirvió a su país en el ejército, terminó su educación superior y ahora se postula para el Congreso, realmente he vivido el sueño americano. Quiero ayudar a otros que tienen las probabilidades en su contra, a realizar sus sueños también. Necesitamos un liderazgo audaz en Washington ahora más que nunca, para generar buenos empleos y oportunidades económicas para todos, hacer realidad una atención médica accesible y de bajo costo y enfrentar a los republicanos de MAGA que amenazan nuestra democracia”, dijo Tim Sánchez. <br/> <br/> "Como hija de una inmigrante mexicana y orgullosa latina, me siento honrada de haber ganado el respaldo y la confianza de CHC BOLD PAC. Nuestro país se encuentra en una encrucijada y los republicanos de MAGA están amenazando la democracia, perjudicando a los trabajadores, cortando la ayuda a los veteranos y poniendo su lealtad a disposición del lobby de las armas, por encima de la vida de nuestros hijos. Estos no son los valores que me enseñaron y estos no son los valores de nuestra comunidad. Las familias del sur de California merecen a alguien que luche por ellas todos los días en Washington, y por intereses especiales. Estoy agradecido por el apoyo de CHC BOLD PAC y espero trabajar con ellos para cambiar CA-45 y recuperar este escaño para las familias trabajadoras", </span> </span> <span> dijo Kim Nguyen </span> <span> . </span> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> <span> SOBRE TIM SÁNCHEZ <br/> </span> <span> <br/> Tim Sánchez nació y creció en East Oakland, con una madre puertorriqueña y un padre mexicano americano, rodeado de una gran familia profundamente arraigada en la comunidad de East Bay. Siendo un padre adolescente, él descubrió temprano en la vida cómo enfrentar los desafíos de frente, aprendiendo lecciones que le han servido bien en una distinguida carrera como empresario, propietario de una pequeña empresa, veterano y profesional de servicios financieros. Tim comprende los problemas que afectan a las familias trabajadoras de su distrito y está preparado para servir al distrito congresional doce de California. <br/> <br/> </span> <span> SOBRE KIM NGUYEN <br/> </span> <span> <br/> La hija de un refugiado vietnamita y una inmigrante mexicana, Kim Berenice Nguyen fue la primera en su familia en graduarse de la escuela secundaria y la universidad. A los 25 años, ganó una elección histórica como la persona más joven y la primera latina en ser elegida para el Concejo Municipal de Garden Grove. Kim es una pionera en temas relacionados con la salud y la mujer que se ha enfrentado al acoso, ha luchado por la igualdad y la justicia en todo el sur de California y ha luchado para brindarles a inmigrantes como sus padres, respeto y la oportunidad de triunfar. </span> <br/> <br/> <span> CHC BOLD PAC <br/> </span> <span>   <br/> BOLD PAC es el brazo de campaña del Caucus Hispano del Congreso (CHC) y se dedica a aumentar la diversidad en la Cámara y el Senado al lograr que más latinos y latinas sean elegidos. En 2022, BOLD PAC eligió al Caucus Hispano demócrata más grande de la historia, trayendo nueve nuevos latinos a la Cámara, incluidos cuatro escaños que fueron recuperados por los demócratas en la Cámara. Este fue el resultado de más de $6 millones en inversiones directas para candidatos latinos, la suma más grande en la historia de la organización. Además, BOLD PAC desempeñó un papel integral en la protección de la mayoría demócrata en el Senado al ayudar a reelegir a la senadora Catherine Cortez Masto, la primera y única latina en el Senado. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> ### </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> <br/> CHC BOLD PAC, el brazo de campaña del Hispanic Caucus, fue fundado en 2001 para aumentar la representación latina en el Congreso.

That’s why he’s dedicated his career to serving this country and fighting for working families and Latinos nationwide,” </span> </span> <span> <span> said CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez. </span> </span> <span> <span> “From serving as a Marine in Iraq, to being an organizer in Phoenix and serving in Congress, Ruben always puts others first.”  <br/> <br/> “In the House of Representatives he has been a champion for Latino working families, fighting to expand higher education opportunities for DREAMers and to make our immigration system more efficient,” </span> </span> <span> Chairwoman Sánchez continued. </span> <span> <span> “As a veteran, he supported programs to provide mental and physical health care, housing, and education to Latino veterans, who are the fastest growing population in the military, making up about 16% of all active-duty military. Ruben also served as CHC BOLD PAC Chairman, increasing the representation of Latinos in Congress and combating disinformation targeting our community. His years of service to the country show that he will be a leader who won’t be afraid to stand up to injustice and extremism, and who will fight for working families everywhere. We’re proud to stand with Ruben in his campaign to represent the people of Arizona in the Senate and to continue fighting alongside him for Latinos across the country.”  <br/> <br/> “As a longtime member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and the former Chair of BOLD PAC, this endorsement is special to me. BOLD PAC does excellent work electing Latinos—who are still underrepresented in elected office—to Congress. 30% of Arizona’s population is Latino, and yet, we have never had a Latino senator. I am running to change that and deliver results for all Arizonans,” </span> </span> <span> said Ruben Gallego. </span> <span> <span> “Thank you to Chairwoman Linda Sánchez and BOLD PAC leadership for your trust and support. I am deeply honored to have received BOLD PAC’s endorsement.” </span> </span> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <strong> <font color="#000000"> RUBEN GALLEGO </font> </strong> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The son of immigrants from Colombia and Mexico, Ruben was raised in Chicago by his mother alongside his three sisters and worked for most of his young adult life to help support his family. After supporting himself through school, he graduated from Harvard University, enlisted in the Marine Corps, and deployed to Iraq as an infantryman. After returning home, Ruben's military service inspired him to run for public office and advocate for veterans. He has spent his entire career fighting for veterans and Arizona's working families, from leading ballot initiatives as a Phoenix organizer to serving in the State House and, later, Congress. </span> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> <span> Gallego has distinguished himself in Washington as a leading and trusted voice on national security issues. As Chairman of the Intelligence and Special Operations Subcommittee and the highest-ranking Latino on the House Armed Services Committee, he has proved to be a pivotal voice in the special forces and intelligence community. As Chairman of CHC BOLD PAC, he helped elect nine new Latinos to the House, including four in seats that were picked up by House Democrats and he led a national strategy to combat disinformation targeting Latinos. </span> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> <span> He has faced the same challenges that so many Arizona families know, like when he paid his way through college by working as a janitor. It was this experience that propelled him to enter public service and represent the community he calls home. Arizonans deserve a Senator like Ruben, who has a proven track record of championing the rights of everyday working people.  </span> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and is dedicated to increasing diversity in the House and Senate by getting more Latinos and Latinas elected.

Es por eso que ha dedicado su carrera a servir a este país y luchar por las familias trabajadoras y los latinos en toda la nación", </span> </span> <span> <span> dijo Linda Sánchez, presidenta de CHC BOLD PAC: </span> </span> <span> <span> “Desde servir como infante de marina en Irak, hasta ser organizador en Phoenix y servir en el Congreso, Rubén siempre pone a los demás primero”.  <br/> <br/> “En la Cámara de Representantes ha sido un defensor de las familias trabajadoras latinas, luchando por ampliar las oportunidades de educación superior para los DREAMers y por un sistema de inmigración más eficiente”, </span> </span> <span> <span> continuó la presidenta Sánchez. </span> </span> <span> <span> “Como veterano, apoyó programas para brindar atención en salud mental y física, vivienda y educación a los veteranos latinos, que son la población de más rápido crecimiento en las fuerzas armadas y representan aproximadamente el 16% de todos los militares en servicio activo. Ruben también se desempeñó como presidente de CHC BOLD PAC, aumentando la representación de los latinos en el Congreso y combatiendo la desinformación dirigida a nuestra comunidad. Sus años de servicio al país demuestran que será un líder que no tendrá miedo de enfrentarse a la injusticia y el extremismo, y que luchará por las familias trabajadoras de todas partes. Estamos orgullosos de apoyar a Rubén en su campaña para representar al pueblo de Arizona en el Senado y seguir luchando junto a él por los latinos de todo el país”. <br/> <br/> “Como miembro desde hace mucho tiempo del Caucus Hispano del Congreso y expresidente de BOLD PAC, este respaldo es especial para mí. BOLD PAC hace un excelente trabajo ayudando a elegir a los latinos, que todavía están subrepresentados en los cargos electos, para el Congreso. El 30% de la población de Arizona es latina y sin embargo, nunca hemos tenido un senador latino. Me postulo para cambiar eso y lograr resultados para todos los habitantes de Arizona”, </span> </span> <span> dijo Rubén Gallego. </span> <span> <span> “Gracias a la presidenta Linda Sánchez y al liderazgo de BOLD PAC por su confianza y apoyo. Me siento profundamente honrado de haber recibido el respaldo de BOLD PAC”. </span> </span> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> RUBEN GALLEGO </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Hijo de inmigrantes de Colombia y México, Rubén fue criado en Chicago por su madre junto a sus tres hermanas y trabajó durante la mayor parte de su juventud para ayudar a mantener a su familia. Después de trabajar para mantenerse a sí mismo en la universidad, se graduó de la Universidad de Harvard, se alistó en el Cuerpo de Marines y fue desplegado en Irak como soldado de infantería. Después de regresar a casa, el servicio militar de Rubén lo inspiró a postularse para un cargo público y abogar por los veteranos. Ha pasado toda su carrera luchando por los veteranos y las familias trabajadoras de Arizona, desde liderar iniciativas electorales, como organizador de Phoenix, hasta servir en la Cámara de Representantes y más tarde en el Congreso. </span> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> <span> Gallego se ha distinguido en Washington como una voz líder y confiable en temas de seguridad nacional. Como presidente del Subcomité de Inteligencia y Operaciones Especiales y el latino de más alto rango en el Comité de Servicios Armados de la Cámara, ha demostrado ser una voz fundamental en las fuerzas especiales y la comunidad de inteligencia. Como presidente de CHC BOLD PAC, ayudó a elegir a nueve nuevos latinos para la Cámara, incluidos cuatro en escaños que fueron elegidos por los demócratas de la Cámara y dirigió una estrategia nacional para combatir la desinformación dirigida a los latinos. </span> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> <span> Ha enfrentado los mismos desafíos que tantas familias de Arizona conocen, como cuando trabajó limpiando baños para pagar sus estudios universitarios . Fue esta experiencia la que lo impulsó a ingresar al servicio público y representar a la comunidad a la que llama hogar. Los habitantes de Arizona merecen un Senador como Ruben, quien tiene un historial comprobado de defender los derechos de la gente trabajadora. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC es el brazo de campaña del Caucus Hispano del Congreso (CHC) y se dedica a aumentar la diversidad en la Cámara y el Senado al lograr que más latinos y latinas sean elegidos.

Sabina is a proven leader and has made her mark in history as Lieutenant Governor and the first Afro-Latina to hold statewide office in Rhode Island. She understands the struggles that working families in her district are facing and she’ll fight to create an inclusive economy that uplifts and protects Rhode Island’s working families and leaves no one behind,” </span> </span> <span> <span> said CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez. </span> </span> <span> “BOLD PAC has a proven record of electing strong Latina voices and we stand with Sabina because we know she will be a champion for all Americans in Congress.” </span> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> "I am honored to have earned the support of CHC BOLD PAC. We’re facing a critical moment in Washington and our Democratic values are on the line. From blocking threats to our reproductive freedom, to protecting Social Security and Medicare, and to ensuring we safeguard our democracy — it's critical that Rhode Island has someone who's ready for these fights on day one. Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus have been on the frontline of these fights and know what it takes to stand up for our values. I'm grateful that they are confident in my leadership and are supporting my campaign for Congress," </span> </span> <span> said Lt. Governor Sabina Matos.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> SABINA MATOS </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Sabina Matos grew up in the Dominican Republic, and immigrated to the US at 20 years old. She later moved to Providence and graduated from Rhode Island College. She served for 10 years on the Providence City Council, championing affordable housing for hard-working Rhode Islanders, protecting reproductive rights, and supporting women leaders. Sabina’s determination to make Providence a better place led her to become the first Latina to serve as President of the Providence City Council in 2019. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> In 2021, Sabina made history again when she became Lieutenant Governor of Rhode Island. She became the first Black and Latina person and second woman to hold the office in state history. Sabina knows anything in America is possible. That’s why she’s running for Congress, to make sure everyone has the same opportunity for the American dream. </span> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and is dedicated to increasing diversity in the House and Senate by getting more Latinos and Latinas elected.

Sabina es una líder contundente que ha dejado su huella en la historia, al convertirse en la primera vicegobernadora y la primera afro latina en ocupar un cargo estatal en Rhode Island. Ella comprende las problemáticas que enfrentan las familias trabajadoras en su distrito y luchará para crear una economía inclusiva que eleve y proteja a las familias trabajadoras de Rhode Island y no deje a nadie atrás”, </span> </span> <span> dijo Linda Sánchez, presidenta de CHC BOLD PAC. </span> <span> <span> “BOLD PAC tiene un gran historial de elegir voces latinas fuertes y por eso apoyamos a Sabina, porque sabemos que será una defensora de todos los estadounidenses en el Congreso”. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> "Me siento honrada en recibir el apoyo de CHC BOLD PAC.

Sánchez </a> <span> , chairwoman of BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, said her priority is defending incumbents and “making sure that Latino, and especially Latina, candidates are encouraged to run for office nationwide and have the resources they need to win.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Latina voters will play a key role nationwide in 2024, Sánchez said in a statement, “especially in states like California, Pennsylvania, and Arizona that will be integral in retaking the Democratic Majority in the House and will help determine whether Democrats defend the White House and the Senate.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> There are currently 19 Latinas in the House, 13 Democrats and six Republicans. Sen. </span> </span> <a href="https://www.rollcall.com/members/98185?utm_source=memberLinks&amp;utm_medium=memberlinks&amp;personid=98185" target="_blank"> Catherine Cortez Masto </a> <span> , D-Nev. is the only Latina senator. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Sánchez, a Democrat from California who has been in Congress since 2003, is the first woman to lead BOLD PAC. All of the group’s top positions are now held by women. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “We’re a woman-led organization and we’re very proud of that,’’ said Executive Director Victoria McGroary. “Latinas showed us just how important they are to the Democratic coalition, how energized they are to knock doors, to mobilize their communities, particularly in a cycle where choice was such a huge issue.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> In 2022, BOLD PAC helped elect four Latina freshmen: Reps. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, who beat a Trump-endorsed candidate in a Washington state district that had been held by the GOP since 2011; Yadira Caraveo of Colorado; Delia Ramirez of Illinois and Andrea Salinas of Oregon. Caraveo, Ramirez and Salinas are among the first Latinas elected from their respective states. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Economic issues as well as access to abortion will be the PAC’s focus this cycle, McGroary said. The group did not release its fundraising targets.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Women as we all know play such a crucial role in the economic well-being of their families,’’ McGroary said. "That is doubly true in Latino families, where women [are responsible for] making sure all the pieces are moving together and everything that needs getting done is getting done.’’ </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Democrats aren’t the only ones making a push to reach Latina voters: Republicans leaned heavily on immigration issues in key House races in South Texas in the 2022 midterms, though the results were mixed. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Three Republican Latina candidates—Irene Armendariz-Jackson, Cassy Garcia and former Rep. Mayra Flores — lost to Democrats in border districts. But Republican Rep. Monica De La Cruz flipped a redrawn district in Texas and two other Latinas, Reps. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida and Lori Chavez-DeRemer of Oregon, also won. (Chavez-DeRemer and Salinas are the first Latinas elected from Oregon.) </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> The first woman was sworn in as a member of Congress in 1917, but the first Latina wasn’t elected 1989, when Republican Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, a Cuban refugee from South Florida, won the first of her 15 terms. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> "Between 2013 and 2018, Latina representation was flat at nine,’’ said Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. “In the last few cycles, we've started to see that number going up but still not where it could be and should be in terms of representation." </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Immigration is important to Latina voters, but it isn’t the only issue they’re focused on, Walsh said. "One of the traps that one could fall into is to assume that the issue Latina candidates and voters care about most is immigration,’’ she said. “And while it clearly has resonance, particularly with Latinas in border communities, reproductive health issues are rising in relevance to women overall, and with Latinas in particular." </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC plans to continue an effort launched during the run-up to last year’s midterms to combat disinformation. One of the false narratives the group sought to address was a belief, promoted on social media, that women who sought abortions would place their immigration status in jeopardy.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> "There is no question that abortion will be on the ballot again," Sánchez said. "That’s why we will ramp up our efforts to combat disinformation on abortion targeting Latinas and other women of color who already face obstacles to having safe and affordable reproductive healthcare services." </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> Mon, 03 Apr 2023 19:39:54 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/bold-pac-aims-to-elect-more-latinas-to-the-house-and-senate news thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/chc-bold-pac-proudly-welcomes-rep-linda-sanchez-as-its-first-ever-chairwoman <div> <img src="https://irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/bold+logo+final-01.png"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE </span> </p> <p> <span> April 3 2023 </span> </p> <p> <span> Contact: Diana Castaneda </span> </p> <p> <span> Diana@chcboldpac.com </span> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC Proudly Welcomes Rep.

As the first IBEW woman elected to Congress and co-founder of the House Labor and Working Families Caucus, she also worked to establish a pro-labor agenda in Congress while supporting workers' rights and American families.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Congresswoman Sánchez’s strategic leadership and substantive policy expertise have been crucial to the progress House Democrats have achieved for working families. She has been a fierce guardian of Social Security and a strong advocate for the resources needed to improve the lives of all Americans. She has proven herself as a national leader on issues facing the Latino community, supporting both the Dream and Promise Act and a pathway for Dreamers to become citizens. Congresswoman Sánchez introduced the Gender Equality in Health Premiums Act. The plan prohibits health insurance providers from charging women higher prices than men and was passed as part of the Affordable Care Act in 2010.  </span> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and is dedicated to increasing diversity in the House and Senate by getting more Latinos and Latinas elected.

Los votantes latinos liderarán en 2024 y aumentaremos nuestros esfuerzos para garantizar que sean centrales en el proceso electoral. Ellos desempeñarán un papel crucial en todo el país, especialmente en estados como Pensilvania y Arizona, que ayudarán a determinar si los demócratas defienden la Casa Blanca y el Senado. Y serán cruciales para recuperar la mayoría demócrata en la Cámara, especialmente en mi estado natal de California,” </span> </span> <span> dijo la presidenta de CHC BOLD PAC, Linda Sánchez. </span> <span> <span> “Si queremos tener latinas y latinos en la mesa de toma de decisiones, que reflejen la diversidad de nuestra nación, debemos desempeñar un papel activo para reclutarlos y asegurarnos de que tengan los recursos necesarios para ganar. Esa es la única forma en que podemos ver a nuestras comunidades y experiencias, representadas en los pasillos del Congreso.

Como la primera mujer IBEW elegida para el Congreso y cofundadora del House Labor and Working Families Caucus, también trabajó para establecer una agenda pro laboral en el Congreso, mientras apoyaba los derechos de los trabajadores y las familias estadounidenses. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> El liderazgo estratégico y la experiencia política sustantiva de la congresista Sánchez han sido cruciales para el progreso que los demócratas de la Cámara han logrado para las familias trabajadoras. Ha sido una férrea guardiana del Seguro Social y una firme defensora de los recursos necesarios para mejorar la vida de todos los estadounidenses. Ha demostrado ser una líder nacional en los problemas que enfrenta la comunidad latina, apoyando la Ley de Sueños y Promesas y un camino para que los Soñadores se conviertan en ciudadanos. La congresista Sánchez presentó la Ley de Igualdad de Género en las Primas de Salud. El plan prohíbe que los proveedores de seguros de salud cobren precios más altos a las mujeres que a los hombres y se aprobó como parte de la Ley del Cuidado de Salud a Bajo Precio en 2010. </span> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC es el brazo de campaña del Caucus Hispano del Congreso (CHC) y se dedica a aumentar la diversidad en la Cámara y el Senado al lograr que más latinos y latinas sean elegidos.

The announcement comes on the first day of Women’s History Month. Incoming Chairwoman Sanchez will be the first woman ever to lead the organization. </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> “Incoming Chairwoman Linda Sánchez is a steadfast champion for hard-working families in California and across America. For over 20 years, she has been a trailblazer and relentless fighter for progressive values – including being the first Latina elected to a leadership position in Congress.

And while this Congress is the most diverse in history, there is so much work left to be done. Though Hispanics account for nearly 19% of the population, we make up only 10% of Congress. The same is true for women - we represent just over 28% of Congress, far less than our share of over 50% of the US population. As we continue our fight to increase diversity in Congress, my top priority will be to ensure that the Latino community is central to the political process. That means defending our incumbents and making sure that Latino, and especially Latina, candidates are encouraged to run for office nationwide and have the resources they need to win. That’s the only way to ensure that Congress represents all Americans.” </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> REP.

As the first IBEW woman elected to Congress and co-founder of the House Labor and Working Families Caucus, she also worked to establish a pro-labor agenda in Congress while supporting workers' rights and American families.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Congresswoman Sánchez’s strategic leadership and substantive policy expertise have been crucial to the progress House Democrats have achieved for working families. She has been a fierce guardian of Social Security and a strong advocate for the resources needed to improve the lives of all Americans. She has proven herself as a national leader on issues facing the Latino community, supporting both the Dream and Promise Act and a pathway for Dreamers to become citizens. Congresswoman Sánchez introduced the Gender Equality in Health Premiums Act. The plan prohibits health insurance providers from charging women higher prices than men and was passed as part of the Affordable Care Act in 2010.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and is dedicated to increasing diversity in the House and Senate by getting more Latinos and Latinas elected.

Lo mismo ocurre para las mujeres: representamos un poco más del 28 % del Congreso, mucho menos que nuestra representación de más del 50 % de la población de Estados Unidos. Mientras seguimos luchando por aumentar la diversidad en el Congreso, mi principal prioridad será garantizar que la comunidad latina ocupe un lugar central en el proceso político. Eso significa defender a nuestros miembros titulares y asegurarnos de impulsar a los candidatos latinos, y especialmente a las latinas, a presentarse a las elecciones en todo el país, así como que cuenten con los recursos necesarios para ganar.

Ha demostrado ser una líder nacional en los problemas que enfrenta la comunidad latina, apoyando la Ley de Sueños y Promesas y un camino para que los Soñadores se conviertan en ciudadanos. La congresista Sánchez presentó la Ley de Igualdad de Género en las Primas de Salud. El plan prohíbe que los proveedores de seguros de salud cobren precios más altos a las mujeres que a los hombres y se aprobó como parte de la Ley del Cuidado de Salud a Bajo Precio en 2010. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC es el brazo de campaña del Caucus Hispano del Congreso (CHC) y se dedica a aumentar la diversidad en la Cámara y el Senado al lograr que más latinos y latinas sean elegidos.

Estos nuevos miembros del Congreso, junto con los miembros actuales de CHC, lucharán para cumplir a todas las familias estadounidenses. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <br/> “Estamos emocionados de dar la bienvenida a estos nueve nuevos demócratas latinos al Congreso y estamos orgullosos del papel crucial que jugó BOLD PAC en sus victorias. Ayudaron a marcar el inicio del Caucus Hispano Congresional Demócrata más grande de la historia y estamos seguros de que serán grandes defensores de sus comunidades”, </span> </span> <span> dijo el presidente de CHC BOLD PAC, Rubén Gallego. </span> <span> <span> “La misión de BOLD PAC es diversificar el Congreso y en este último ciclo, duplicamos nuestros esfuerzos para asegurarnos de que estos líderes latinos tuvieran los recursos que necesitaban para tener éxito. Estamos orgullosos de estar a su lado en la lucha por nuestras comunidades en el Congreso”. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <br/> “La representación importa”, </span> </span> <span> continuó el presidente Gallego. </span> <span> <span> “Los votantes latinos dejaron ver su poder y como resultado, ahora tenemos un Congreso más diverso.

En 2022, BOLD PAC eligió al Caucus Hispano demócrata más grande de la historia, trayendo nueve nuevos latinos a la Cámara, incluidos cuatro escaños que fueron recuperados por los demócratas en la Cámara. Este fue el resultado de más de $6 millones en inversiones directas para candidatos latinos, la suma más grande en la historia de la organización. Además, BOLD PAC desempeñó un papel integral en la protección de la mayoría demócrata en el Senado al ayudar a reelegir a la senadora Catherine Cortez Masto, la primera y única latina en el Senado. </span> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> ### </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> <span> CHC BOLD PAC, el brazo de campaña del Caucus Hispano, fue fundado en 2001 para aumentar la representación latina en el Congreso.

The new class will showcase the breadth of Latino perspectives on  </span> <a href="https://www.vox.com/the-highlight/23327900/latino-hispanic-voters-republican-2020" target="_blank"> the role of government </a> <span> , racial or ethnic solidarity, and  </span> <a href="https://www.vox.com/the-highlight/23322487/abortion-latino-voters-roe-midterms-election" target="_blank"> religious and family values </a> <span> . </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Congress, and much of the country, hasn’t seen some of the Latino identities and politics this new class will bring. The next two years will be an experiment in what Latino diversity looks like and how it can be used to govern. Below is an introduction to these new members, arranged by party and political philosophy. <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <h3> <span> The safe-seat (mostly) progressives </span> </h3> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Open, safe seats for Democrats — made available through retirements, their previous occupants running for other offices, and redistricting — brought the majority of new Democratic Latino members to Congress. <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Unsurprisingly, all five came from states that have previously elected Latino Democrats and have large Latino populations. Nearly all belong to the political left and advocated for progressive policies like raising the minimum wage, enacting stronger gun control laws, and expanding access to affordable health care during their primary campaigns. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Though serving in the minority, each will likely push the party, and the caucus, to be more outspoken on immigration and civil rights. Many are either immigrants or children of immigrants. Four have joined the Congressional Progressive Caucus, the group of over 100 members that form the bulk of the party’s left flank in Congress; and at least three are seen as likely to join the ultra-progressive group of Democrats known as the Squad. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Robert Garcia </span> <span> , the  </span> <a href="https://www.vox.com/21562358/kamala-harris-senate-seat-gavin-newsom" target="_blank"> mayor of Long Beach </a> <span> , California, will be the first LGBTQ immigrant to be elected to Congress, after serving two terms as the first gay mayor of Long Beach. His district, which covers majority Latino cities south of Los Angeles and the port city he led, was created through redistricting this year after California lost a congressional seat for the first time in its history. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Born in Peru, Garcia did not become a US citizen until he was 21: “Having to go through the process of naturalization and citizenship is unique, and there’s not a lot of folks in Congress that have been through that,” Garcia told me. “I know what it’s like to wake up at three in the morning and stand in long lines to try to move your process forward, and the disappointment when your immigration status is not moving forward.” </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> In the new Congress, he said he and new Latino lawmakers will have to balance the need to “change things up as much as possible,” but also “build the team.” </span> </p> <p> <span> “This new class represents a next generation of Latino leaders,” he told me. “We’re all united on the issues, particularly around immigration and health care.” </span> </p> <p> <span> Another historic first comes to Congress from one of Florida’s most Democratic districts, the 10th, centered on Orlando, that Rep. Val Demings vacated to unsuccessfully run for Senate against Marco Rubio. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Here,  </span> <a href="https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/23448463/midterm-elections-results-2022-frost-gen-z-congress-healey-huckabee-sanders" target="_blank"> Maxwell Alejandro Frost </a> <span> , a 25-year-old  </span> <a href="https://www.vox.com/podcasts/2022/11/29/23482867/maxwell-frost-florida-midterm-elections-2022-gen-z-congress" target="_blank"> organizer and activist </a> <span> , made history as the first Afro-Cuban and first member of Generation Z to be elected to Congress. When he takes office, he’ll be the youngest member of Congress, and part of a group of “real progressive Latinos that are showing folks that the values of our culture and the values of our party can and should be aligned,” he told me. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> To explain what he means by that, Frost said it’s helpful to think of “this word, familia — when it’s up to us, as Latinos, everybody eats; when it’s up to us, everybody has care and health; when it’s up to us, everyone has a roof over their head. How do we marry the culture of our communities with the politics and the way we can talk about what we believe in? I think there’s untapped potential that can help change our party for the better.” </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Frost ran a campaign focused on progressive priorities, like Medicare-for-all and stricter gun control measures (he got his start in politics as part of the March for Our Lives youth movement), and beat out two former Democratic members of Congress to win the Democratic primary back in August. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Now he wants to show that his bold, hopeful, progressive message can be persuasive outside of districts like his. “We had support, donors, and volunteers that were Republican, that were extremely moderate, people who would come up to me and say, ‘Max, I disagree with you on this, this, and this, but I trust you, and I get what you’re trying to do.’ And I think that’s the future of our party,” he said. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Frost has already made friends with another representative-elect who made history — this time, out in the Midwest.  </span> <span> Delia Ramirez </span> <span> , an Illinois state representative, will be the first Latina to be elected to Congress from a Midwestern state. The daughter of two immigrants, Ramirez’s election shows the natural evolution of Latino representation in the US: She is just the second Guatemalan American in Congress and the first who was born here. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Her district includes heavily Democratic and majority-Hispanic parts of Chicago, as well as the suburbs of moderate DuPage County, which has seen an increase in Latino residents that Ramirez told me “represents the first, second, and third generation of Latinoness.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “You have a lot of us who are firstborns here, who grew up in the city of Chicago, who went off to college, who went off to nonprofits to do work, and are still very close, connected to our roots. We have our parents, who now are US citizens but struggled for a long time being undocumented,” she said. “And now, following the migration of new immigrants coming into the city, who can no longer afford to live in the city, are following job opportunities into manufacturing west of the city, this district has the fastest-growing community in the entire state.” </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> That diversity of immigrant experience, class, and ethnicity may offer a road map for Democrats looking for ways to stem some of the losses they have experienced with Latino voters around the country. Ramirez ran on a progressive populist economic message, focused less on social issues and zeroing in on the  </span> <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/11/25/progressive-latina-hispanic-voters-delia-ramirez-00070493" target="_blank"> political left’s solutions to bread-and-butter issues </a> <span> . </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Ramirez, Frost, and a newly elected Latino lawmaker from Texas,  </span> <span> Greg Casar </span> <span> , are the incoming members most likely to join the Squad in Congress. Casar, a former city council member in Austin, won his race by a 50 percent margin, in one of the most Democratic districts in Texas that stretches from San Antonio to Austin. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <a href="https://prospect.org/politics/greg-casar-superstar/" target="_blank"> Described by the Texas Observer’s Gus Bova as </a> <span>  a “leading light for the Texas left” who plans to “be among the furthest left in the House’s left wing,” Casar was best known during his tenure on the Austin City Council for supporting the reallocation of funds cut from the local police department and advocating for the decriminalization of outdoor encampments, according to the  </span> <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2022/03/01/greg-casar-democratic-primary-austin/" target="_blank"> Texas Tribune </a> <span> . That progressive history makes him the latest in a long line of progressive Texan Latino politicians, who have been instrumental in pulling the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and House Democrats, to the left on immigrant and civil rights. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> One additional Latino representative-elect will join these progressives from a safe blue seat:  </span> <span> Rob Menendez Jr </span> <span> ., the son of New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez, will represent the district just outside of New York that his father once held. A liberal Democrat who was favored by the party establishment and supports mainstream priorities on the child tax credit, universal preschool, and raising the federal minimum wage, Menendez continues a tradition of Cuban American representation in the Northeast. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <h3> <span> The safe-seat (mostly) progressives </span> </h3> <p> <span> A second cohort of Democratic first-termers are joining Congress as so-called “front-liners” from the most competitive districts in the country. </span> </p> <p> <span> They ran measured campaigns focused on economic issues, advancing progressive ideas and policy proposals while not necessarily embracing the progressive label, and won with tiny margins — making reelection prospects much less certain than the outspoken progressives who won in other states. </span> </p> <p> <span> Their elections show the wide reach of Latino communities in the US, which extend beyond the urban cores that have often given candidates of color the best shot at increased ethnic and racial representation. And they are a reminder that voters, whether Latino or not, are willing to elect candidates of color in ultra-competitive districts. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Gabe Vasquez </span> <span>  pulled off an important win in New Mexico by flipping the state’s swingy Second Congressional District from Republican Yvette Herrell. Winning by a little over 1,000 votes, Vasquez, a first-generation Mexican American and former member of the Las Cruces City Council, is the latest in a long line of Latinos representing New Mexico: Herrell ousted Xochitl Torres Small in 2020, who was elected in 2018’s “blue wave” year after beating a Republican who had held the Second District for years before then. More than 20 Hispanic members of Congress have come from New Mexico. His close victory shows that running on a progressive platform, without necessarily calling yourself a progressive, can work in a battleground district with a majority-Latino population. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Marie Gluesenkamp Pérez </span> <span> , who flipped a rural, Republican-held district in Washington state just north of Portland, Oregon, was one of the biggest surprises of election week. The state’s Third District voted for Donald Trump twice and Mitt Romney before that, growing more friendly to Republicans after redistricting — but Democrats had an opening after a right-wing, Trump-aligned challenger ousted Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, a Republican who voted to impeach Trump after the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack, during the primary this year. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Trump’s meddling shouldn’t overshadow the work that Gluesenkamp Pérez did to win over independent and Republican voters in the district. She’ll be the first Democratic Latina to represent a seat that is nearly 90 percent white, and she did that by casting herself as a rural, blue-collar Democrat whose family gets their water from a well, internet from a radio tower, and heating from burning wood ( </span> <a href="https://twitter.com/MGPforCongress/status/1584586578890231810?s=20&amp;t=I9kK76CxOHFeJOTFNGpMdA" target="_blank"> as a campaign ad put it </a> <span> ). She got very little support from national Democrats, but in a press conference in late November, she  </span> <a href="https://twitter.com/MGPforCongress/status/1593661821147398146?s=20&amp;t=I9kK76CxOHFeJOTFNGpMdA" target="_blank"> praised </a> <span>  the Congressional Hispanic Caucus’s political arm, BOLD PAC, for endorsing her in her race. </span> </p> <p> <span> <span>  </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> In neighboring Oregon,  </span> <span> Andrea Salinas </span> <span> , a daughter of Mexican immigrants and a state representative, won her race to represent Oregon’s new Sixth District after a competitive primary saw her pitted against a challenger financed by  </span> <a href="https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/23471446/ftx-collapse-crypto-bankruptcy-sam-bankman-fried-downfall" target="_blank"> former crypto-billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried </a> <span> . BOLD PAC spent over $1.2 million in her race against a self-funded Republican businessman, and praised her victory as an example of a progressive who could run in a moderate district and win crossover support from Republicans. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Though more Democrats were registered to vote than Republicans in this district, independent voters outnumbered either group. Made up of Portland’s suburbs, the state capital of Salem, and a swath of rural Oregon, the district is diverse, with a large Latino voting population in cities and many agricultural and timber workers in the rural parts.

Ruben Gallego and Executive Director Victoria McGroary. </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> The Hill: </span> </span> <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/congress-blog/3760357-what-we-knew-about-latino-voters-that-no-one-else-did/" target="_blank"> What we knew about Latino voters that no one else did </a> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> <span> Chairman Ruben Gallego and Executive Director Victoria McGroary  </span> </p> <p> <span> 12/2/22 </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <br/> ”Democrats won Latinos by a </span> </span> <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/blog/fixgov/2022/11/11/latinos-support-democrats-over-republicans-2-1-in-house-and-senate-elections/" target="_blank"> 2 to 1 margin </a> <span> <span> on Nov. 8. They delivered Senate wins in Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Nevada and ushered in 42 Hispanic Democratic members of Congress, the most in history. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <br/> Yet in the weeks before the election, political pundits were convinced that Democrats had a “Latino problem,” writing </span> </span> <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2022/11/hispanic-voters-fleeing-democratic-party/671851/" target="_blank"> post-mortems </a> <span> <span> before the majority of voters even cast their ballots. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> They were wrong. Those of us who work in Latino politics knew it. As the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC), BOLD PAC has spent 21 years getting Latinos elected to Congress. Ahead of the midterm, we doubled down.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <br/> The results speak for themselves: all 31 CHC incumbents won reelection by running on platforms tailored to Latinos in their districts, including Sen. </span> </span> <a href="https://thehill.com/people/catherine-cortez-masto/" target="_blank"> Catherine Cortez Masto </a> <span> <span> (D-Nev.), whose win kept the Senate Democratic. Nine new Latinos will be coming to Congress next year, including four in seats picked up by House Democrats. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> So here’s what BOLD PAC — and countless other Latino organizations and operatives — knew about mobilizing Latino voters that no one else did. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> First: Never stop organizing.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <br/> Mobilizing the Latino community is a year round activity that should be led by Latinos and involve major investments. So we made historic investments in mobilizing Latinos and finding community leaders across the country to run for office and win. Take Colorado: after pediatrician </span> </span> <a href="https://thehill.com/people/yadira-caraveo/" target="_blank"> Yadira Caraveo </a> <span> <span> decided to run in the new 8th District, we ran a program to persuade Latinos to vote for her. She’ll now become </span> </span> <span> <span> </span> </span> <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3728560-caraveos-win-makes-her-the-first-latina-to-represent-the-centennial-state/" target="_blank"> the first Latina representing Colorado in Congress </a> <span> . </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> This story isn’t unique. BOLD PAC invested over $6 million in support of Latino campaigns this cycle, the most we’ve ever done. Our efforts were designed by Latino strategists and included direct involvement in 13 federal races. We won 11. </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <br/> Nowhere were we more successful than in Oregon’s 6th District. We recruited Andrea Salinas, an accomplished state legislator, and helped her set up a campaign fully led by Hispanics. When over $12 million in </span> </span> <a href="https://www.opb.org/article/2022/04/25/what-does-a-crypto-tycoon-want-with-oregons-new-congressional-district/" target="_blank"> outside spending flooded in for her primary opponent </a> <span> <span> , we doubled down and invested over $1 million ourselves. Despite being outspent 12 to 1, Andrea won her primary and will make history when she is sworn in next year.  </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Second: How and where you say something matters as much as what you say.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> We get asked all the time “what do Latino voters want to hear about?” The not-so-secret truth is Latinos care about the same issues as everyone else: good jobs, lower costs, good opportunities for their kids. And they want their fundamental rights, like the right to an abortion. </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <br/> These issues are a core part of the Democratic Party’s platform. But how and where you have these conversations makes all the difference. Efforts to engage Latinos need to meet their reality. Latinos are on YouTube — </span> </span> <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2021/04/07/social-media-use-in-2021/pi_2021-04-07_social-media_0-03/" target="_blank"> 85 percent of Hispanic adults use the platform </a> <span> <span> , which has become a </span> </span> <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/blog/fixgov/2022/11/04/why-spanish-language-mis-and-disinformation-is-a-huge-issue-in-2022/" target="_blank"> place for misinformation </a> <span> . So that’s where Democrats need to be too. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> BOLD PAC conducted an aggressive strategy to fight misinformation and energize Latinos to vote for Democrats. We launched “ </span> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQHO8X0hru_es_s6wkdx8_Q/about" target="_blank"> Ya Tu Sabes </a> <span> ,” or “Now You Know”, a cutting edge YouTube channel of authentic Latino-focused videos. They were in English, Spanish, and Spanglish — a modern mix of the two spoken in Latino homes daily — and covered everything from the economy to abortion access. We engaged influencers as trusted voices to join the show and share our content. </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <br/> Presenting political information with humor and in an authentic way was exactly what was needed to reach more Latinos, especially a younger audience. This was critical as </span> </span> <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/12/politics/young-voters-democrats-midterm-elections/index.html" target="_blank"> younger voters helped deliver key victories </a> <span> <span> for Democrats nationwide. People viewed our videos over 1.1 million times, and nearly half were by those under the age of 35. We ran ads in New Mexico’s 2nd District, where </span> </span> <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3729405-democrat-gabe-vasquez-defeats-republican-incumbent-in-new-mexico/" target="_blank"> Gabe Vasquez defeated MAGA Republican Yvette Herrell </a> <span> , one of the biggest spreaders of misinformation in Congress. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Third: Latinos are tired of MAGA extremists. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Election denying Republicans across the country jumped on the Trump autocratic train this cycle, supporting countless attempts to undermine the will of American voters. But Latinos are very patriotic, especially those originally from authoritarian countries, and rejected them. In Nevada, Latinos powered Cortez Masto’s victory against Adam Laxalt, a MAGA loyalist and election denier.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> BOLD PAC understood the importance of treating Latino voters as persuasion voters to engage with early, fully, and in an authentic way. As a result, the year that “Latinos were sliding to the GOP” became the year that elected the most Latino Democratic members of Congress. </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <br/> Victoria McGroary executive director of BOLD PAC and Ruben Gallego is chairman of </span> </span> <a href="https://www.boldpac.com/" target="_blank"> BOLD PAC </a> <a href="https://www.boldpac.com/" target="_blank"> . </a> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Here’s what other observers are saying about BOLD PAC’s historic victories: </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> <span> <span> VOX News: </span> </span> <a href="https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/23487995/latino-house-congress-2022-midterms-representation-political-power" target="_blank"> The next Congress will be the most representative of Latino identity ever </a> </p> <p> <span> <br/> “Andrea Salinas…BOLD PAC spent over $1.2 million in her race against a self-funded Republican businessman, and praised her victory as an example of a progressive who could run in a moderate district and win crossover support from Republicans…One more front-liner surprised Democrats on Election Day: Yadira Caraveo..Her race didn’t get much attention, though BOLD PAC endorsed her during her primary, and she won by less than 1 percent.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> <span> <span> NBC News: </span> </span> <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna57943" target="_blank"> A class of newly elected Latinos in Congress sets a record  </a> </p> <p> <span> <br/> “Rep.

In 2022, BOLD PAC elected the largest Democratic CHC in history, bringing nine new Latinos to the House, including four in seats that were picked up by House Democrats. This was the result of over $6 Million in direct investments for Latino candidates, the largest sum in the organization’s history. Additionally, BOLD PAC played an integral role in protecting the Democratic majority in the Senate by helping re-elect Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, the first and only Latina in the Senate.  </span> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> ### </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

Nueve nuevos latinos llegarán al Congreso el próximo año, incluidos cuatro en escaños que arrebataron los demócratas en la Cámara”, </span> </span> <span> dijo el presidente de CHC BOLD PAC, el Representante Rubén Gallego y la Directora Ejecutiva, Victoria McGroary.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> <span> <span> The Hill: </span> </span> <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/congress-blog/3760357-what-we-knew-about-latino-voters-that-no-one-else-did/" target="_blank"> Lo que sabíamos sobre los votantes latinos que nadie más sabía </a> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> <span> Presidente de BOLD PAC Rubén Gallego y Directora Ejecutiva, Victoria McGroary  </span> </p> <p> <span> 12/2/22 </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> ”Los demócratas ganaron el apoyo de los latinos por un margen de 2 a 1, el 8 de noviembre. Obtuvieron victorias en el Senado en Arizona, Pensilvania y Nevada y dieron paso a 42 miembros demócratas hispanos del Congreso, la mayor cantidad en la historia. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Sin embargo, en las semanas previas a las elecciones, los expertos políticos estaban convencidos de que los demócratas tenían un “problema latino”, escribiendo autopsias antes de que la mayoría de los votantes emitieran su voto. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Ellos estaban equivocados. Los que trabajamos en la política latina lo sabíamos. Como el brazo de campaña del Caucus Hispano del Congreso (CHC), BOLD PAC ha pasado 21 años logrando que los latinos sean elegidos para el Congreso. Antes de la mitad del período, duplicamos esos esfuerzos. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Los resultados hablan por sí mismos: los 31 titulares de CHC ganaron la reelección al postularse en plataformas adaptadas a los latinos en sus distritos, incluida la Senadora Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), cuya victoria mantuvo el Senado demócrata. Nueve nuevos latinos llegarán al Congreso el próximo año, incluidos cuatro en escaños arrebatados por los demócratas en la Cámara. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Entonces, esto es lo que BOLD PAC y un sinnúmero de otras organizaciones y estrategas latinos, sabían acerca de movilizar a los votantes latinos que nadie más sabía. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Primero: Nunca deje de coordinar. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Movilizar a la comunidad latina es una actividad de todo el año que debe ser liderada por latinos e involucrar grandes inversiones. Así que hicimos inversiones históricas para movilizar a los latinos y encontrar líderes comunitarios en todo el país para postularse para cargos públicos y ganar. Por ejemplo Colorado: después de que la pediatra Yadira Caraveo decidiera postularse en el nuevo Distrito 8, llevamos a cabo un programa para persuadir a los latinos a votar por ella. Ahora se convertirá en la primera latina que represente a Colorado en el Congreso. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Esta historia no es única. BOLD PAC invirtió más de $6 millones en apoyo a campañas latinas este ciclo, lo mayor inversión que hemos hecho. Nuestros esfuerzos fueron diseñados por estrategas latinos e incluyeron participación directa en 13 contiendas federales. Ganamos 11. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> En ninguna parte tuvimos más éxito que en el distrito 6 de Oregón. Reclutamos a Andrea Salinas, una legisladora estatal consumada y la ayudamos a establecer una campaña dirigida completamente por hispanos. Cuando más de $12 millones en inversiones externas llegaron a su oponente principal, duplicamos e invertimos más de $1 millón nosotros mismos. A pesar de un gasto de 12 a 1, Andrea ganó su primaria y hará historia cuando preste juramento el próximo año. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Segundo: Cómo y dónde dices algo importa tanto como lo que dices. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Nos preguntan todo el tiempo “¿qué quieren escuchar los votantes latinos?” La verdad no tan secreta, es que a los latinos les importan los mismos temas que a todos los demás: buenos trabajos, costos más bajos, buenas oportunidades para sus hijos. Y quieren sus derechos fundamentales, como el derecho al aborto. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Estos temas son una parte central de la plataforma del Partido Demócrata. Pero cómo y dónde, tienen estas conversaciones hace toda la diferencia. Los esfuerzos para involucrar a los latinos deben adaptarse a su realidad. Los latinos están en YouTube: el 85 por ciento de los adultos hispanos usan la plataforma, que se ha convertido en un lugar para la desinformación. Así que ahí es donde los demócratas también deben estar. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> BOLD PAC llevó a cabo una estrategia agresiva para combatir la desinformación y animar a los latinos a votar por los demócratas. Lanzamos “Ya Tu Sabes”, un canal de YouTube de vanguardia con videos auténticos enfocados en los latinos. Los videos en inglés, español y spanglish, son una mezcla moderna de la forma en que se habla en los hogares latinos a diario, y cubrían todos los temas, desde la economía hasta el acceso al aborto. Involucramos a influenciadores como voces confiables para unirse al programa y compartir nuestro contenido. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Presentar información política con humor y de manera auténtica era exactamente lo que se necesitaba para llegar a más latinos, especialmente a una audiencia más joven. Esto fue fundamental ya que los votantes más jóvenes ayudaron a lograr victorias clave para los demócratas en todo el país. La gente vio nuestros videos más de 1.1 millones de veces, y casi la mitad fueron de menores de 35 años. Publicamos anuncios en el Distrito 2 de Nuevo México, donde Gabe Vásquez derrotó a la republicana de MAGA Yvette Herrell, una de las mayores difusoras de desinformación en el Congreso. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Tercero: los latinos están cansados de los extremistas de MAGA. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Los republicanos que niegan las elecciones en todo el país se subieron al tren autocrático de Trump en este ciclo, apoyando innumerables intentos de socavar la voluntad de los votantes estadounidenses. Pero los latinos son muy patriotas, especialmente los originarios de países autoritarios, y los rechazaron. En Nevada, los latinos impulsaron la victoria de Cortez Masto contra Adam Laxalt, un leal a MAGA y negacionista electoral. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> BOLD PAC comprendió la importancia de tratar a los votantes latinos como votantes a persuadir, de acercarse a ellos de manera temprana, completa y auténtica. Como resultado, el año en que “los latinos se deslizaron hacia el Partido Republicano” se convirtió en el año en que se eligió a la mayoría de los miembros demócratas latinos del Congreso. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Victoria McGroary, Directora Ejecutiva de BOLD PAC y Rubén Gallego, Presidente de BOLD PAC. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Esto es lo que dicen otros observadores sobre las victorias históricas de BOLD PAC: </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> <span> <span> VOX: </span> </span> <a href="https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/23487995/latino-house-congress-2022-midterms-representation-political-power" target="_blank"> El próximo Congreso será el más representativo de la identidad latina de todos los tiempos </a> </p> <p> <span> <br/> “Andrea Salinas…BOLD PAC gastó más de $1.2 millones en su carrera contra un empresario republicano autofinanciado, y elogió su victoria como un ejemplo de una progresista que podría postularse en un distrito moderado y ganar el apoyo cruzado de los republicanos… Otra líder que sorprendió a los demócratas el día de las elecciones: Yadira Caraveo...

They delivered Senate wins in Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Nevada and ushered in 42 Hispanic Democratic members of Congress, the most in history. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Yet in the weeks before the election, political pundits were convinced that Democrats had a “Latino problem,” writing  </span> <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2022/11/hispanic-voters-fleeing-democratic-party/671851/" target="_blank"> post-mortems </a> <span>  before the majority of voters even cast their ballots. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> They were wrong. Those of us who work in Latino politics knew it. As the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC), BOLD PAC has spent 21 years getting Latinos elected to Congress. Ahead of the midterm, we doubled down.  </span> </p> <p> <span> The results speak for themselves: all 31 CHC incumbents won reelection by running on platforms tailored to Latinos in their districts, including Sen.  </span> <a href="https://thehill.com/people/catherine-cortez-masto/" target="_blank"> Catherine Cortez Masto </a> <span> <span> </span> </span> <span> (D-Nev.), whose win kept the Senate Democratic. Nine new Latinos will be coming to Congress next year, including four in seats picked up by House Democrats. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> So here’s what BOLD PAC — and countless other Latino organizations and operatives — knew about mobilizing Latino voters that no one else did. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> First: Never stop organizing.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Mobilizing the Latino community is a year round activity that should be led by Latinos and involve major investments. So we made historic investments in mobilizing Latinos and finding community leaders across the country to run for office and win. Take Colorado: after pediatrician  </span> <a href="https://thehill.com/people/yadira-caraveo/" target="_blank"> Yadira Caraveo </a> <a href="https://thehill.com/people/yadira-caraveo/" target="_blank">   </a> <span> decided to run in the new 8th District, we ran a program to persuade Latinos to vote for her. She’ll now become  </span> <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3728560-caraveos-win-makes-her-the-first-latina-to-represent-the-centennial-state/" target="_blank"> the first Latina representing Colorado in Congress </a> <span> . </span> </p> <p> <span> This story isn’t unique. BOLD PAC invested over $6 million in support of Latino campaigns this cycle, the most we’ve ever done. Our efforts were designed by Latino strategists and included direct involvement in 13 federal races. We won 11.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Nowhere were we more successful than in Oregon’s 6th District. We recruited Andrea Salinas, an accomplished state legislator, and helped her set up a campaign fully led by Hispanics. When over $12 million in  </span> <a href="https://www.opb.org/article/2022/04/25/what-does-a-crypto-tycoon-want-with-oregons-new-congressional-district/" target="_blank"> outside spending flooded in for her primary opponent </a> <span> , we doubled down and invested over $1 million ourselves. Despite being outspent 12 to 1, Andrea won her primary and will make history when she is sworn in next year.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Second: How and where you say something matters as much as what you say. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> We get asked all the time “what do Latino voters want to hear about?” The not-so-secret truth is Latinos care about the same issues as everyone else: good jobs, lower costs, good opportunities for their kids. And they want their fundamental rights, like the right to an abortion.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> These issues are a core part of the Democratic Party’s platform. But how and where you have these conversations makes all the difference. Efforts to engage Latinos need to meet their reality. Latinos are on YouTube —  </span> <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2021/04/07/social-media-use-in-2021/pi_2021-04-07_social-media_0-03/" target="_blank"> 85 percent of Hispanic adults use the platform </a> <span> , which has become a  </span> <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/blog/fixgov/2022/11/04/why-spanish-language-mis-and-disinformation-is-a-huge-issue-in-2022/" target="_blank"> place for misinformation </a> <span> . So that’s where Democrats need to be too. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC conducted an aggressive strategy to fight misinformation and energize Latinos to vote for Democrats. We launched “ </span> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQHO8X0hru_es_s6wkdx8_Q/about" target="_blank"> Ya Tu Sabes </a> <span> ,” or “Now You Know”, a cutting edge YouTube channel of authentic Latino-focused videos. They were in English, Spanish, and Spanglish — a modern mix of the two spoken in Latino homes daily — and covered everything from the economy to abortion access. We engaged influencers as trusted voices to join the show and share our content. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Presenting political information with humor and in an authentic way was exactly what was needed to reach more Latinos, especially a younger audience. This was critical as  </span> <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/12/politics/young-voters-democrats-midterm-elections/index.html" target="_blank"> younger voters helped deliver key </a> <span>  victories for Democrats nationwide. People viewed our videos over 1.1 million times, and nearly half were by those under the age of 35. We ran ads in New Mexico’s 2nd District, where  </span> <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3729405-democrat-gabe-vasquez-defeats-republican-incumbent-in-new-mexico/" target="_blank"> Gabe Vasquez defeated MAGA Republican Yvette Herrell </a> <span> , one of the biggest spreaders of misinformation in Congress.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Third: Latinos are tired of MAGA extremists. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Election denying Republicans across the country jumped on the Trump autocratic train this cycle, supporting countless attempts to undermine the will of American voters. But Latinos are very patriotic, especially those originally from authoritarian countries, and rejected them. In Nevada, Latinos powered Cortez Masto’s victory against Adam Laxalt, a MAGA loyalist and election denier.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC understood the importance of treating Latino voters as persuasion voters to engage with early, fully, and in an authentic way. As a result, the year that “Latinos were sliding to the GOP” became the year that elected the most Latino Democratic members of Congress. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Victoria McGroary is executive director of  </span> <a href="https://www.boldpac.com/" target="_blank"> BOLD PAC </a> <span>  and Ruben Gallego is chairman of BOLD PAC. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> Fri, 02 Dec 2022 15:32:38 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/what-we-knew-about-latino-voters-that-no-one-else-did news thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/bold-pac-nevada <div> <img src="https://irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/bold+logo+final-01.png"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE </span> </p> <p> <span> November 30, 2022 </span> </p> <p> <span> Contact: Diana Castaneda </span> </p> <p> <span> Diana@chcboldpac.com </span> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC Calls for DNC to Make Nevada the Nation’s First Presidential Primary, Elevate Latino Voters Following 2022 Midterms </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Thanks to Latino Voters in 2022, the Diverse Battleground State of Nevada Re-Elected the Nation’s Only Latina Senator, Catherine Cortez Masto, and Secured a Democratic Majority </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Washington, D.C. </span> <span> <span> - </span> </span> <span> <span> As part of its commitment to expanding Latino representation in Congress, today CHC BOLD PAC is supporting Nevada’s application to host the First in the Nation presidential primary.

The state’s population is majority-minority, including nearly 30% Latino, making it the only state vying to host the First in the Nation primary that is home to a major Latino electorate. In recent years, the Latino community has become the country's second-largest voting bloc by ethnicity and a decisive factor in state and national races. Nevada is also a battle-tested early state, having been the First in the West since the 2008 election cycle, as well as one of the most consistently competitive general election battlegrounds in the country. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and is dedicated to increasing diversity in the House and Senate by getting more Latinos and Latinas elected.

Tony Cardenas of California and Veronica Escobar of Texas. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Incoming members who will be a part of the caucus will include Reps.-elect Andrea Salinas of Oregon, Maxwell Alejandro Frost of Florida, Yadira Caraveo of Colorado, Gabe Vasquez of New Mexico, Greg Casar of Texas, Delia Ramirez of Illinois, Robert Garcia of California, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington and Rob Menendez of New Jersey. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Mr. Gallego said Democrats still have strong support among Hispanics, given the party’s unexpected holds and success in states such as Texas. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> He acknowledged, however, that the party must shore up its resources in Florida, where Republicans were able to make strong gains among Hispanic voters beyond more conservative Cuban Americans. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “Florida is going back to what it used to be, which is a very conservative Latino State,” Mr. Gallego told The Washington Times. “I think we have to go just fight it out down there and recruit some good candidates and eventually the Florida Republican Party is going to mess it up and we’ll have a good opening to try and bring them back on our side, but when we do it, we have to move fast.” </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The Hispanic vote was mixed in its support this midterm cycle, with both parties taking credit for the success of their outreach efforts. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Despite historic levels of Hispanic support for GOP candidates, Democrats outperformed with Hispanic voters except in Florida. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Ms. Gluesenkamp Perez’s win was a victory for Democrats, where she flipped a district won by former President Donald Trump in Washington state. </span> </p> <p> <span> Democrats also took out GOP Rep. Mayra Flores of Texas. She lost to incumbent Rep. Vicente Gonzalez. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Republicans, meanwhile, recruited new Hispanic members to broaden their conference, including bringing in Reps.-elect Monica De La Cruz of Texas and Anna Paulina Luna of Florida. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Ms. Escobar said abortion messaging boosted support of Hispanic women for Democrats. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “By far, the number one issue for Latina women in these races was women’s right to reproductive freedom and our Latinos know the threat that the Republican Party poses to our not just reproductive freedom, but our economic freedom,” Ms. Escobar said. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Rep.-elect Greg Casar of Texas echoed Mr. Gallego’s sentiment that GOP efforts fell short, given the numbers reached by his party. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “As the Republicans would have had it, they thought that today they’d be having a press conference talking about the Latino vote going to the right, and instead we’re here having a press conference with Yadira and Delia and Maxwell and Andrea and Rob and Marie and Robert,” Mr. Casar said. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Rep. Carlos Gimenez, Florida Republican, said he sees a backlash in the Hispanic community against “wokeness,” which is driving voters to the GOP. </span> </p> <p> <span> <span>  </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Here, we have awakened to ‘woke.’ We don’t actually believe in it, and it’s a large Hispanic community and a big shift to the right,” Mr. Gimenez said on Fox News. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> Fri, 18 Nov 2022 18:16:12 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/in-the-battle-for-hispanic-voters-dems-say-they-win-because-they-got-more-hispanic-lawmakers news thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/los-nuevos-congresistas-latinos-avisan-llegamos-para-quedarnos <div> <img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/ffc1b010409b4324c344ec43c4fabf776bba86aew_11192022.jpg" alt="Rep.-elect Marie Glusenkamp Perez, D-Wash., joins new members of the House of Representatives on the steps of the Capitol for a group photo on Nov. 15, 2022.J.

Será la cifra más alta de su historia y podría llegar a 42 si Rudy Salas consigue imponerse en California a David Valadao. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> De ellos, y a la espera de los resultados definitivos, los nueve ya confirmados se estrenan con la voluntad de luchar por las preocupaciones de los latinos, como un trabajo digno o una reforma migratoria que facilite una vía para la ciudadanía a los indocumentados, y se muestran convencidos de que con esa lucha contribuirán a mejorar las condiciones de toda la población. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> "Como hija de alguien que cruzó la frontera en su primer trimestre de embarazo por Guatemala y México, y que casi se hundió en el Río Grande para que su hija pudiera nacer en este país, les digo: Estamos aquí y no nos vamos a ir a ninguna parte", afirmó Ramírez. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> El grupo fue presentado este viernes en Washington por el comité de acción política Bold Democrats, que impulsó sus candidaturas. </span> </p> <p> <span> "Nosotros sabemos qué significa exactamente el patriotismo. No es un América primero y pensar solo en ti, sino amar tanto tu país que quieres ayudar a la gente que está en él. Yo sé cómo se siente la pobreza, qué es no estar documentado y tener una madre que limpia casas", añadió García en esa intervención. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Su formación no conservará el poder en la Cámara de Representantes en enero: los republicanos se han asegurado la mayoría con los 218 escaños requeridos como mínimo, si bien los demócratas en el Senado sí mantienen su actual control. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> El apoyo latino dio un espaldarazo importante a la bancada demócrata en los pasados comicios. Según el sondeo auspiciado por organizaciones como Latino Community Foundation o Mi Familia Vota Education Fund, presentada la semana pasada, casi dos tercios de los votantes latinos apoyaron a aspirantes progresistas. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> "Cuando te implicas con la comunidad latina, cuando apuestas por ella y por sus temas, vota por nosotros", dijo Casar, para quien la defensa de los derechos civiles o de la justicia económica funciona igualmente para el conjunto de la población. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Sus respectivas historias personales sirven como trampolín para sus aspiraciones políticas: "Mi padre llegó a Estados Unidos desde México en 1950. Familias como la mía necesitan una economía que ayude a la gente trabajadora, un sistema sanitario asequible", recalcó Salinas dispuesta a servirles de altavoz. </span> </p> <p> <span> <span>  </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> Sin haber empezado aún la nueva legislatura, los nuevos representantes no se conformaron hoy con sus inminentes primeros pasos en el Congreso federal. El objetivo a largo plazo, apuntaron, es recuperar la mayoría en 2024 y conseguir igualmente en un futuro la llegada de un latino a la Casa Blanca. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> Fri, 18 Nov 2022 16:11:14 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/los-nuevos-congresistas-latinos-avisan-llegamos-para-quedarnos news thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/congressional-hispanic-caucus-welcomes-new-house-members-reflects-on-latino-vote <div> <img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/unnamed-cd73c731.jpg" alt="Rep.-elect Marie Glusenkamp Perez, D-Wash., joins new members of the House of Representatives on the steps of the Capitol for a group photo on Nov. 15, 2022.J.

Ruben Gallego of Arizona, said continuing to reach out to Latino communities and young voters will be key to taking back the House in 2024, as this week control went to House Republicans following the midterm elections. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Gallego said Latinos came out and voted for Democrats in three key Senate races — in Arizona, Nevada and Pennsylvania — and he expects the number of Latinos who come out to vote in 2024 will be even higher than in the midterms. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “I think there’s also a lot more sophistication on how to reach young Latinos that we didn’t have in the past,” he said. “And you’re going to see that again in 2024.” </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Young Latino and Black voters were key to holding off a ‘“red wave” for this year’s midterm elections. Democrats retained control of the Senate, but lost the House by a few seats. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Those new Democratic U.S. House Latino members are Reps.-elect Andrea Salinas of Oregon, Maxwell Alejandro Frost of Florida, Yadira Caraveo of Colorado, Gabe Vasquez of New Mexico, Greg Casar of Texas, Delia Ramirez of Illinois, Robert Garcia of California, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington state and Rob Menendez of New Jersey. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Ramirez, representing Illinois’ 3rd Congressional District, is the first Latina congresswoman from the Midwest. Garcia, representing California’s 42nd Congressional District, is the first Peruvian American and openly gay immigrant in Congress. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Perez, who flipped a seat held by a Republican for more than 12 years, will be the first auto mechanic elected to Congress. She ran on a platform as a moderate Democrat, leaning into her working-class roots, and her support for reproductive rights and the Second Amendment. </span> </p> <p> <span> Perez said that besides BOLD PAC, no national organization supported her bid for Congress, thinking the district was a Republican stronghold. </span> </p> <p> <span> “I think that’s directly related to the fact that Latinos have to find opportunity where people tell us there is none,” she said. “We don’t wait for permission, we just kick the door down, and we do the thing.” </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Salinas, who is Mexican American and also the first Latina to represent Oregon at the federal level, said when her parents first came to the U.S., they picked cotton and tomatoes in the Rio Grande Valley. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “It’s only I feel like in America where my father can come to this country as someone who worked in the fields, and on January 3, watch his daughter get sworn in as a member of Congress,” she said. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> All members get sworn in on Jan. 3, the start of a new Congress. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Salinas’ district, Oregon’s 6th Congressional District, has the largest Latino population in the state. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Caraveo, a pediatrician representing Colorado’s 8th Congressional District, is the first Latina to represent the state at the federal level. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Frost, who is Afro Cuban, will be the first Generation Z candidate elected to Congress. He ran in Florida’s 10th Congressional District, after U.S. Rep. Val Demings, who held the seat, chose to run for the Senate against Republican incumbent Marco Rubio. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> (Generation Z is anyone born from 1997 to 2012.) </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Frost, 25, said the last few weeks of his campaign were difficult, as his grandmother, who came to the U.S. from Cuba to escape the Fidel Castro regime, passed away. He said he spent those last three weeks by her bedside, re-listening to her stories of when she first came to the U.S. and how she worked multiple factory jobs in Hialeah, a city in Miami-Dade County. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “She didn’t have someone looking out for her,” he said. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Frost said that his 97-year-old grandmother still had stains on her arms, from the chemicals she was exposed to at the factories. He said he wonders what his grandmothers’ life would have been like if she had a union representing her and protecting her, and if she had been given access to earning a livable wage. </span> </p> <p> <span> “I think as immigrants and immigrant families we hold these stories as a badge of honor and pride, and we should, but at the same time we also have to look at the exploitation and the fact that our ancestors and that our families shouldn’t have had to go through that in the first place,” he said. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Democratic U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla also made history as the first Latino elected from California. He had been tapped by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom to finish the term of now Vice President Kamala Harris. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Menendez, who will represent New Jersey’s 8th Congressional District, is the son of Democratic U.S. Senator Bob Menendez, who chairs the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Several Republican Latinos also were elected to Congress: U.S. Reps.-elect George Santos of New York, Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, Juan Ciscomani of Arizona and Lori Chavez-DeRemer of Oregon. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> And many of those soon-to-be lawmakers have already made history. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Santos will be the first openly LGBTQ non-incumbent Republican elected to Congress. Luna will be Florida’s first Mexican American woman elected to Congress, and Ciscomani will be Arizona’s first Republican Latino elected to represent the state. </span> </p> <p> <span> <span>  </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> Chavez-DeRemer, who flipped a Democrat-held seat, is also the first Latina to serve Oregon in Congress. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> Fri, 18 Nov 2022 15:59:56 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/congressional-hispanic-caucus-welcomes-new-house-members-reflects-on-latino-vote news thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/a-class-of-newly-elected-latinos-in-congress-sets-a-record <div> <img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/221118-Marie-Gluesenkamp-Perez-se-359p-8d290d.webp" alt="Rep.-elect Marie Glusenkamp Perez, D-Wash., joins new members of the House of Representatives on the steps of the Capitol for a group photo on Nov. 15, 2022.J.

Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., chairman of BOLD PAC, introduced Democrat Latinos who were elected to Congress in last week's midterms. BOLD PAC spent a record $6 million supporting the candidates in their races. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> There are currently 38 Latinos in Congress, 28 of them Democrats and 10 Republicans, according to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials Educational Fund. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> After the elections, that number has increased to at least 45 in the next Congress that starts in January, with 34 Democrats and 11 Republicans, which would make it a record number of Latinos in Congress,  </span> <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/latinos-record-number-seats-congress-midterm-vote-rcna55337" target="_blank"> according to NALEO. </a> <span>  It will be the first time Hispanic legislators make up over 10% of the 435-member House of Representatives. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> So far there are nine Democratic newcomers and four new Republicans.  </span> <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/latino-firsts-made-history-2022-midterm-elections-rcna56421" target="_blank"> Several of them  </a> <span> are the first Hispanics elected to Congress from their respective states. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Two California races with Latino candidates still were being counted Friday. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The Congressional Hispanic Caucus was founded as a bipartisan caucus, but as Republicans numbers grew, GOP members broke off and formed the Congressional Hispanic Conference. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Gallego noted that along with additional numbers, the new Latino class has many more Spanish speakers. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Gallego said the election of so many Latinos sends the message, “Invest in Latino voters.

This was the result of over $6 Million in direct investments for Latino candidates, the largest sum in the organization’s history.

Esta es la mayor suma de inversiones en gastos independientes en los 21 años de historia de BOLD PAC.  </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> Aunque la misión principal de BOLD PAC es aumentar la diversidad en el Congreso mediante la elección de más latinos, también es un actor crucial en los esfuerzos para defender las mayorías demócratas en la Cámara y el Senado. Este ciclo, BOLD PAC ha destinado más de 1.3 millones de dólares en contribuciones a campañas y comités del partido para mantener la Cámara y el Senado. Esto incluye más de $650.000 dólares en contribuciones directas de BOLD PAC y otros $650.000 dólares en fondos recaudados directamente para las campañas demócratas de donantes de base en todo el país. </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> “Nuestro mensaje debe ser claro y contundente: BOLD PAC está luchando más duro que nunca para ayudar a candidatos Latinos para que ganen el 8 de Noviembre,” </span> </span> <span> <span> dijo el presidente de CHC BOLD PAC Rubén Gallego. </span> </span> <span> <span> “Hay mucho en juego en estas elecciones, así que estamos redoblando nuestros esfuerzos para asegurarnos de que nuestras comunidades estén representadas y no pierdan sus libertades fundamentales.”  </span> </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> “Estas son las mayores inversiones directas que ha realizado de BOLD PAC. Construir poder para cualquier comunidad es un trabajo duro que requiere mucho tiempo y esfuerzo,” </span> </span> <span> dijo la directora ejecutiva de CHC BOLD PAC, Victoria McGroary. </span> <span> <span> “Durante 21 años, BOLD PAC ha realizado esta labor de manera consistente y ha incrementado nuestra capacidad para ser actores clave en la elección de los demócratas y el aumento de la diversidad en el Congreso. En la recta final, estamos siendo estratégicos y agresivos para asegurarnos de dejar todo en el campo de juego antes del día de las elecciones.”  </span> </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> Nuestra Lucha es una iniciativa de gran alcance que pone a BOLD PAC al frente de la lucha por cada voto Latino en las elecciones de mitad de período y más allá.

En 2022, BOLD PAC eligió al Caucus Hispano demócrata más grande de la historia, trayendo nueve nuevos latinos a la Cámara, incluidos cuatro escaños que fueron recuperados por los demócratas en la Cámara. Este fue el resultado de más de $6 millones en inversiones directas para candidatos latinos, la suma más grande en la historia de la organización. Además, BOLD PAC desempeñó un papel integral en la protección de la mayoría demócrata en el Senado al ayudar a reelegir a la senadora Catherine Cortez Masto, la primera y única latina en el Senado. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> ### </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> <span> CHC BOLD PAC, el brazo de campaña del Caucus Hispano, fue fundado en 2001 para aumentar la representación latina en el Congreso.

We’ve already played major roles in historic wins this cycle with Maxwell Frost, Robert Garcia, and Andrea Salinas and look forward to more in a few weeks,” </span> </span> <span> <span> said CHC BOLD PAC Chairman Ruben Gallego. </span> </span> <span> “Abortion access, affordable health care, and our fundamental freedoms are on the ballot this November.

This cycle, BOLD PAC has already driven over $1.1 Million in contributions to campaigns and party committees to hold the House and Senate. This includes over $600,000 in direct contributions from BOLD PAC and an additional $535,000 in funds raised for Democratic campaigns from grassroots donors across the country. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Our Lucha is a wide-ranging initiative that puts BOLD PAC at the forefront of the fight for every Latino vote in the midterms and beyond.

Es por eso que BOLD PAC está redoblando sus esfuerzos para elegir demócratas que sean valientes defensores del bienestar de todos los estadounidenses”. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Si bien la misión principal de BOLD PAC es aumentar la diversidad en el Congreso eligiendo a más latinos, también es un actor crucial en los esfuerzos por defender a las mayorías demócratas en la Cámara y el Senado. Este ciclo, BOLD PAC ya ha generado más de $1.1 millones en contribuciones a campañas y comités del partido para ocupar la Cámara y el Senado. Esto incluye más de $600.000 en contribuciones directas de BOLD PAC y $535.000 adicionales en fondos recaudados para campañas demócratas de donantes de base en todo el país. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> “Nuestra Lucha” es una iniciativa de amplio alcance que pone a BOLD PAC al frente de la batalla por cada voto latino en las elecciones intermedias y más allá. Al invertir directamente en campañas latinas a través de la iniciativa Our Lucha, BOLD PAC está liderando la tarea de aumentar la representación de la comunidad latina y asegurar que estos esfuerzos sean diseñados y ejecutados por estrategas latinos. Las fases anteriores de este esfuerzo incluyeron el lanzamiento de un canal de YouTube " </span> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQHO8X0hru_es_s6wkdx8_Q" target="_blank"> Ya Tu Sabes </a> <span> ", respaldado por una inversión de seis cifras, para combatir la </span> <span> <span> </span> </span> <a href="https://www.boldpac.com/chc-bold-pac-announces-our-lucha-initiative-featuring-new-youtube-channel-ya-tu-sabes-in-latest-effort-to-fight-for-every-latino-vote" target="_blank"> desinformación </a> <span> <span> y educar e involucrar a los votantes latinos de una manera culturalmente competente. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> Fundado en 2001, el Comité para Causas Hispanas Construyendo Nuestro Liderazgo PAC de Diversidad (CHC BOLD PAC) es el brazo de campaña del Caucus Hispano del Congreso.

Over the past several cycles, BOLD PAC has built its capacity to invest directly in Latino candidates and be decisive players in major races across the country,” said Bold PAC Chairman Rep.  </span> <a href="https://thehill.com/people/ruben-gallego/" target="_blank"> Ruben Gallego  </a> <span> (D-Ariz). </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> It’s unclear whether Bold PAC intended to donate a big chunk of money to HMP this cycle — in 2016, it donated $1.1 million; in 2018, $2 million; and in 2020, nearly $2.5 million. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The two groups butted heads in a massively expensive Oregon primary where HMP sided with a cryptocurrency-backed candidate and Bold PAC supported Andrea Salinas, a local legislator who  </span> <a href="https://thehill.com/latino/3498133-hispanic-caucus-takes-a-victory-lap-after-underdog-win-in-oregon/" target="_blank"> won the Democratic nomination </a> <span>  despite being outspent 13-to-1. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Bold PAC historically has made large donations to other campaign organizations, like Latino Victory Fund. According to the most recent Federal Election Commission numbers, Bold PAC has not made any large transfers to other groups this election cycle. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> While Bold PAC and HMP butted heads in the primaries, the new spending strategy doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a deeper rift between the groups. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “House Majority PAC is proud to be working hand in hand with CHC BOLD PAC this year in key races across the country, as we have in previous cycles — and we look forward to continuing our important work with them to support Latino candidates and engage with Latino communities in order to secure a Democratic House Majority in 2022,” said HMP Executive Director Abby Curran Horrell. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Still, the new strategy has given Bold PAC liquidity to support candidates like Salinas, Vallejo and others, who could reshape the CHC in the coming Congress. </span> </p> <p> <span> <span>  </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Now, we’re doubling down on those efforts in the final midterm stretch. We’ve already played major roles in historic wins this cycle with Maxwell Frost, Robert Garcia, and Andrea Salinas and look forward to more in a few weeks,” said Gallego. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> Mon, 17 Oct 2022 15:07:37 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/hispanic-caucus-spends-big-on-its-candidates news thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/republicans-are-using-venezuelan-refugees-families-and-children-as-political-puppets-to-distract-from-their-lack-of-solutions <div> <img src="https://irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/bold+logo+final-01.png"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE </span> </p> <p> <span> September 20, 2022 </span> </p> <p> <span> Contact: Diana@chcboldpac.com </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Republicans Are Using Venezuelan Refugees, Families and Children, as Political Puppets to Distract from Their Lack of Solutions  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Politicizing imm </span> <span> igration is from the same failed GOP playbook they used during the 2018 election </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Washington, D.C. - </span> <span> <span> Toda </span> </span> <span> <span> y CHC BOLD PAC </span> </span> <span> <span> Chairman Ruben Gallego issued the following statement addressing Republicans' tactics to politicize immigration by </span> </span> <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/09/14/metro/planeload-venezuelan-migrants-lands-marthas-vineyard/" target="_blank"> sending asylum seekers </a> <span> <span> to the Vice President’s residence and Martha’s Vineyard at taxpayer expense: </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <br/> “Using Venezuelan refugees, including families and children, who have fled communism, violence and oppression as </span> </span> <a href="https://account.miamiherald.com/paywall/stop?resume=265860501" target="_blank"> political puppets </a> <span> <span> is a despicable Republican tactic.

While they oppose the Venezuelan regime in the name of helping the Venezuelan people, when it comes time to help those Venezuelan families who make it to our shores and are seeking asylum from that regime, they turn their backs on them.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <br/> The hypocrisy of Florida Republicans on immigration is astounding. They don’t fight for humanitarian relief and they even voted against the President’s request for record funding for the Department of Homeland Security. And yet, they continue pushing the same anti-immigration and discriminatory message of the Trump administration, painting immigrant children and asylum seekers as violent criminals. </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Rep. Darren Soto (FL-9) </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> “Using human beings as pawns for political gain is disgraceful.

Hispanic voters are taking note.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Working families deserve representatives who represent their values and fight for their values, and not Republicans’ embrace of hate, and their anti-immigrant, anti-worker, and job-killing agenda. </span> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> <span> ### </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> <span> _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ </span> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> EN ESPAÑOL </span> </p> <p> <span> September 20, 2022 </span> </p> <p> <span> Contacto: D </span> <a href="https://boldpac.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e65edfe8b8f4d50c5c8389394&amp;id=ddfa25fdb2&amp;e=8b8c4d1fb8" target="_blank"> iana@chcboldpac.com </a> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Los republicanos están utilizando a refugiados Venezolanos, familias y niños como sus títeres políticos, para desviar la atención ante su falta de soluciones </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Este es la misma vieja estrategia que el Partido Republicano uso en las elecciones de 2018 con las caravanas y fracasaron </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Washington, D.C. - </span> <span> <span> Hoy el presidente de CHC BOLD PAC, Rubén Gallego, emitió la siguiente declaración sobre las tácticas de los republicanos para politizar la inmigración, enviando solicitantes de asilo a la residencia de la Vicepresidente y a Martha's Vineyard, a expensas de los contribuyentes: </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <br/> “Utilizar a refugiados venezolanos, incluidas familias y niños, que han huido del comunismo, la violencia y la opresión como títeres políticos es una táctica republicana despreciable. Es inhumano. Los gobernadores republicanos DeSantis y Abbott, así como los republicanos latinos, están creando confusión para dividir al país y desviar la atención ante su falta de soluciones para los principales problemas de las familias trabajadoras”, </span> </span> <span> dijo el presidente de BOLD PAC, Ruben Gallego. </span> <span> <span> “Este es el mismo libro de jugadas republicano viejo y fallido. Cada vez que llega una elección, los republicanos tratan de politizar la inmigración. Lo intentaron en 2018 con las caravanas y no les funcionó: los demócratas ganaron con el mayor margen en la historia de las elecciones de medio término”. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Republicanos como el representante Marco Rubio, la representante María Elvira Salazar y el representante Carlos A. Giménez, cuyas familias son inmigrantes, están siendo falsos. Si bien se oponen al régimen venezolano en nombre de ayudar al pueblo venezolano, cuando llega el momento de ayudar a las familias venezolanas que llegan a nuestras costas y buscan asilo huyendo de ese régimen, les dan la espalda. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> La hipocresía de los republicanos de Florida sobre la inmigración es asombrosa. No luchan por la ayuda humanitaria e incluso votaron en contra de la solicitud del Presidente para más fondos para el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional. Y sin embargo, continúan impulsando el mismo mensaje antiinmigración y discriminatorio de la administración Trump, pintando a los niños inmigrantes y solicitantes de asilo como criminales violentos. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Congresista Darren Soto (FL-9) </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> “Usar seres humanos como peones para obtener ganancias políticas es vergonzoso. Al enviar refugiados venezolanos y colombianos a Martha's Vineyard, el gobernador Ron DeSantis y la vicegobernadora Jeanette Nuñez están ampliando su trato discriminatorio hacia los migrantes. Los demócratas continuarán trabajando para brindar soluciones en forma de TPS para Venezuela y protecciones para Dreamers y trabajadores agrícolas. Los votantes hispanos están tomando nota”. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Las familias trabajadoras merecen representantes que representen sus valores y luchen por sus valores y no la aceptación del odio de los republicanos y su agenda anti inmigrante, anti obrera y anti empleos. </span> </p> <p> <span> <span>  </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> ### </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> </div> Tue, 20 Sep 2022 16:46:20 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/republicans-are-using-venezuelan-refugees-families-and-children-as-political-puppets-to-distract-from-their-lack-of-solutions press release thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/chc-bold-pac-announces-six-figure-broadcast-reservation-to-support-andrea-salinas-in-oregons-sixth-congressional-district <div> <img src="https://irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/bold+logo+final-01.png"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE </span> </p> <p> <span> September 16, 2022 </span> </p> <p> <span> Contact: Diana@chcboldpac.com </span> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> C </span> <span> HC BOLD PAC Announces Six Figure Broadcast Reservation to Support Andrea Salinas in Oregon’s Sixth Congressional District </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Washington, D.C. </span> <span> <span> - </span> </span> <span> <span> Today, CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, </span> </span> <span> announced its general election reservation in support of Andrea Salinas in Oregon’s Sixth Congressional District. The reservation covers the week of October 25th on Portland broadcast. Following up on a $1 Million investment in the primary, BOLD PAC is continuing to invest in historic candidates like Salinas in the 2022 cycle.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <br/> “CHC BOLD PAC is proud to support Andrea Salinas. Salinas has a strong and proven record protecting reproductive rights, affordable health care, and the environment. It’s why she prevailed in her competitive primary and why voters will decide she is the right choice to represent them in Congress this November," </span> </span> <span> said Rep. Tony Cárdenas </span> <span> .  </span> </p> <p> <span> <span>  </span> </span> <span> <br/> ABOUT CHC BOLD PAC ENDORSED CANDIDATE ANDREA SALINAS  </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> Andrea Salinas’ father immigrated from Mexico as a child, worked in the fields, served in Vietnam to become a U.S. citizen, and then spent three decades as a police officer. From him, Andrea learned the value of a strong work ethic in making a better life. That’s why Andrea has spent over two decades delivering transformative policies that have shaped the lives of all families in Oregon. She fought to pass a bill to increase the transparency of drug pricing so that families aren’t choosing between food and prescription drugs. She was also instrumental in passing the Oregon’s Reproductive Health Equity Act, the strongest reproductive rights law in the country to ensure health insurance covered reproductive health care, including abortion and birth control.  </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> She is one of the strongest Latinas running anywhere in the country and is mounting a historic campaign. Oregon has never had a Latino or Latina elected to Congress and the 6th Congressional District – which is 21 percent Hispanic – has the opportunity to make history this year. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Founded in 2001, the Committee for Hispanic Causes Building Our Leadership Diversity PAC (CHC BOLD PAC) is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. It is dedicated to electing Latinos and Latinas to Congress and is powered by thousands of donors from across the country. Over the past 21 years, BOLD PAC has doubled the size of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> While its core mission focuses on increasing diversity in Congress, BOLD PAC has also played an integral role in making and defending the Democratic majorities in the House and Senate. In 2020, BOLD PAC endorsed 117 House and Senate candidates across the country and contributed $1 million directly to their campaigns. These efforts helped elect and re-elect 45 Members of Congress. </span> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> ### </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

The buy will start on September 1st and run through the general election. It will include ads on OTT, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram produced by Latino strategists. The first ads will focus on Salas’ strong record of fighting for residents of the Central Valley while David Valadao abandons working families by voting to take away their health care and voting against capping high insulin costs. </span> </span> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> <span> <span> “Rudy Salas is a proven leader who has fought for affordable health care and won. When Kern Medical Hospital’s trauma care center almost closed, he helped ensure that it stayed open. And he voted to lower insulin prices by allowing California to make its own insulin. BOLD PAC stands with Rudy because he’s a fighter and we’re proud to be the first Democratic organization to help him win the general election,” </span> </span> <span> said Congressman Ritchie Torres </span> <span> . </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> The ad buy is BOLD PAC’s first investment in the general election this year.

He would make history as the first Latino elected to Congress from the Central Valley.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> In his five terms in the California State Assembly, Rudy Salas has stood by his commitment to take a stand for Central Valley families and deliver for the region. Salas has been a steadfast voice for the Valley in the state capitol, fighting for more public safety funding, expanding workforce development programs, expanding veterans’ and workers' rights, clean water infrastructure and support for our small business community. In the past year alone, Assemblymember Salas secured $50 million of dedicated investments for Central Valley projects that will expand local nursing programs and construct an emergency response center, a cooling center, a clean water well, a new building at Bakersfield College - Delano campus, and secured millions for our local students and colleges. Additionally, Assemblymember Salas helped save Kern Medical Hospital from closing its doors and was instrumental in ensuring small business assistance and protective equipment got to residents and frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Now, Assemblymember Salas is ready to take on this tough challenge and flip California’s 22nd Congressional District to ensure Central Valley residents have the voice and respect in Washington that they deserve. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> Founded in 2001, the Committee for Hispanic Causes Building Our Leadership Diversity PAC (CHC BOLD PAC) is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

She also uses common features of the culture, like how the smell of Vick VapoRub brings back memories of childhood, to talk about issues like access to healthcare. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> This  </span> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pcvlbPD8q4&amp;t=48s" target="_blank"> first video </a> <span>  of  </span> <span> Ya Tu Sabes! </span> <span>  is a sample of what the production style will be, showcasing political content wrapped in entertainment. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> In a press release, CHC BOLD PAC said that YouTube is the right platform to meet Latinos, since it is the social media platform where they spend the most time. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> According to a  </span> <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2021/04/07/social-media-use-in-2021/" target="_blank"> 2021 Pew Research Center  </a> <span> study, 85 percent of U.S. Latino adults say they spend their time on YouTube, a rate higher than those of their Black and white counterparts. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Social media is also the space where Latinos are more  </span> <a href="https://www.latinorebels.com/2022/04/27/antiimmigrantvids/" target="_blank"> targeted with disinformation </a> <span> . CHC BOLD PAC wants to counter that with content that can help people disprove conspiracy theories while campaigning for the Latino vote. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> According to a  </span> <a href="https://www.nielsen.com/us/en/insights/article/2021/on-screen-representation-is-driving-latino-tv-viewing/" target="_blank"> Nielsen report </a> <span> , Latinos tend to spend more time consuming content on social media than on regular TV, since social media is where they feel more represented. Latinos account for 19 percent of the U.S. population and yet on-screen Latino representation was just six percent across linear and streaming platforms in 2020. There was an increase in 2021, but it remains below 10 percent. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Seeing themselves portrayed in stories and characters is one of the main reasons for Latinos to consume content. For instance, according to the Nielsen study, in June 2021, Latinos accounted for 22 percent of the minutes streamed on Netflix, and 55 percent of Latinos say that streaming options have more content that is relevant to them. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> However, it is in social media platforms where Latinos are more likely to be targeted with falsehoods.

But I really want folks to know that I am unapologetically young,” Frost told The Hill. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> While Frost did stun the Democratic establishment — coming seemingly out of nowhere to best a wide field packed with senior political figures — Frost’s win is notable even amid a diversifying national candidate corps. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Frost has roots in a broad swath of American life: His parents, who adopted Frost at birth, are a Cuban American woman and a white man from Kansas. His birth parents were a Lebanese Puerto Rican woman and a Haitian man. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Frost, who is Black, spoke both English and Spanish at home, and he capitalized on his multicultural upbringing to campaign in a district that’s as diverse as his own origins. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Still, Frost stands out for a resume that doesn't match his age. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> He’s been politically active for a decade, mainly campaigning against gun violence and for abortion rights in organizations like March for Our Lives and the American Civil Liberties Union. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Maxwell is a very ambitious and incredibly special person, a special candidate. I think he has a very bright future,” said Victoria McGroary, the executive director of Bold PAC, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus campaign arm. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> “He is both extremely young and energetic and has a decade of experience doing the work to bring about change,” added McGroary. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Frost’s primary campaign was one of two top targets for Bold PAC this cycle, with the group betting big on Frost both with involvement at the strategic level and a $250,000 independent expenditure. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Frost is all but certain to win in November, as the seat he’s competing for — a safe blue seat vacated by retiring Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.) — was redrawn in a way that packed more Democratic voters together. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> But Democrats see potential in Frost that extends beyond November. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> "Maxwell is the future of the Democratic Party,” said McGroary. “The work Bold PAC has done with Maxwell’s campaign embodies the very mission of Bold PAC.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Frost said he will continue to advocate for the issues he’s been active in but will also serve as a sort of ambassador for his generation in Congress. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “I’m always asked, ‘does Gen Z care about different things than other generations?’ I actually push back. I don’t think we care about different issues. I don’t think we care about different things. I think we all care about the same things. About living our lives, having the resources we need, being valued and cared for. But we just see the issues through a different light,” said Frost.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Certain folks might say young people are in debt because they’ve lived beyond their means. But as a young person, I know that that’s not true. I know it’s because we’ve been denied the means to live,” he added.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “When we think about health care, we’re thinking about it holistically. When we think about climate change, we’re thinking about the fact that every year we wait, the bill gets higher and higher to deal with the problem.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Frost’s political passions also stem from personal experience — his gun advocacy kicked off in Halloween of 2016, when Frost and his friends were forced to run away from an active shooter in downtown Orlando. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> His push for reproductive rights is informed by the experience of his birth mother, who didn’t have the means to get medical treatment during her pregnancy. </span> </p> <p> <span> But beyond the big political fights, Frost said he wants to advocate for the arts in Congress. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Before he found activism at age 15, Frost credits his father’s musical education for his discipline and drive. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “My dad is a full time musician. My life changed forever when he gave me a drum set in the second grade. And I became a musician and I always grew up hearing music in the house,” said Frost. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “When I was younger, like any other kid, I just didn’t really understand where I wanted to go, what I wanted to do, but music and art really changed that for me, my dad was an influence in helping me hone my energy,” Frost added. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> Wed, 24 Aug 2022 20:31:42 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/who-is-maxwell-alejandro-frost-the-25-year-old-democratic-house-nominee news thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/chc-bold-pac-congratulates-maxwell-alejandro-frost-on-his-historic-victory-in-floridas-10th-congressional-district-primary <div> <img src="https://irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/bold+logo+final-01.png"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE </span> </p> <p> <span> August 23, 2022 </span> </p> <p> <span> Contact: Diana Castaneda </span> </p> <p> <span> diana@chcboldpac.com </span> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC Congratulates Maxwell Alejandro Frost on his Historic Victory in Florida’s 10th Congressional District Primary </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Washington, D.C. </span> <span> <span> - </span> </span> <span> Today, CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, congratulates Maxwell Alejandro Frost on securing the Democratic nomination in Florida’s 10th District. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> "Congratulations to Maxwell Alejandro Frost on becoming the Democratic nominee in Florida’s 10th District.

Our Lucha is about our comunidad. It’s about our commitment to advocate for ourselves and to do it by amplifying diverse voices from within with early investments and tactics that will actually resonate with Latinos,” said Bold PAC Chair Rep. <span>   </span> <a href="https://thehill.com/people/ruben-gallego/" target="_blank"> Ruben Gallego </a> <a href="https://thehill.com/people/ruben-gallego/" target="_blank">   </a> <span> (D-Ariz.). </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> In addition to the English-language videos hosted by Fresquez, the series will have original content in Spanish to extend its reach. </span> </p> <p> <span> Still, the videos are targeted toward younger Hispanics, many of whom either consume their media in either English or a combination of the two languages. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The  </span> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GOWAMn9mWs" target="_blank"> debut Spanish-language video </a> <span> <span> </span> </span> essentially reviews Fresquez’s first topical video on the economy and inflation through a comedic exchange between two characters. </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> But the lighthearted video delivers a political punch, as the two characters’ take on rent and gas prices favorably compares New Mexico’s Democratic administration to Texas’s Republican government. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “Although rent prices are sky high, there are certain states like New Mexico that are doing something about it, unlike Texas that still doesn’t even know what to do,” a character says in Spanish. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> “Look, New Mexico is giving me plenty of hope that they still worry about us,” adds the character. </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The Spanish-language focus on those southwestern states is key to Bold PAC’s strategy for the midterms, where turnout among Hispanic communities along the border could help decide a handful of House races. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> And targeting younger Latinos with political content wrapped in entertainment reflects community-specific media consumption patterns, particularly the widespread use of YouTube and messaging app WhatsApp as key platforms. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> “Efforts to engage Latinos need to meet the reality of their daily lives in new and creative ways. Ya Tu Sabes is at the cutting edge of political outreach to our community and will deliver messages in a way that’s relatable and fun ahead of the midterms,” said Bold PAC Executive Director Victoria McGroary. </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The project serves as a sort of signal marker that Bold PAC and its allies are setting for other groups in the Democratic Party, following significant tension as many Hispanic Democrats have accused other party structures of making late, insufficient or culturally incompetent investments in the community. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> “These aren’t your ordinary political spots. They’re all about meeting Latinos where they are. Latinos are online, on their phones, and on Youtube and Whatsapp. That’s where Democrats need to be too,” said McGroary. </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> But the ambitious campaigns also show that Bold PAC is changing its fundamental strategy, after two decades of focusing on supporting its incumbents and Hispanic challengers in Democratic primaries. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “While Our Lucha started in earnest this cycle, it builds on over 20 years of us leading the charge to mobilize Latinos. This work has always been led by Hispanics, from Members of Congress and candidates to political operatives. Fighting for more diverse representation is what BOLD PAC does, and it’s something we will keep doing for decades to come,” said Gallego. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <br/> </p> </div> Fri, 12 Aug 2022 19:59:33 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/hispanic-caucus-launches-anti-disinformation-youtube-channel-ya-tu-sabes news thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/chc-bold-pac-announces-our-lucha-initiative-featuring-new-youtube-channel-ya-tu-sabes-in-latest-effort-to-fight-for-every-latino-vote <div> <img src="https://irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/bold+logo+final-01.png"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE </span> </p> <p> <span> August 12, 2022 </span> </p> <p> <span> Contact: Diana@chcboldpac.com </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC Announces “Our Lucha” Initiative featuring New Youtube Channel “Ya Tu Sabes” in Latest Effort to Fight for Every Latino Vote? </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> New YouTube Channel Launches to Educate and Engage Latino Voters, and Combat Misinformation especially in NM-02 and TX-15 </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Washington, D.C. - </span> <span> <span> Today, CHC BOLD PAC – the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus – announces “Our Lucha,” a wide ranging initiative that puts the PAC at the forefront of the fight for every Latino vote in the midterms and beyond.

Ya Tu Sabes is the latest phase of outreach under the new Our Lucha banner and is backed by a six figure investment.  </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> Our Lucha is a multi-scope initiative meant to engage Latinos voters across the country ahead of the midterms. It includes BOLD PAC’s Latino led efforts to educate them on the issues and combat misinformation, mobilize them to make change, and persuade them to vote for Democrats. Previous phases of this effort include launching “ </span> <a href="https://www.boldpac.com/d" target="_blank"> Elect Diverse Democrats </a> <span> <span> ” last year, an affiliated committee dedicated to protecting the voting rights of communities of color and to fighting for a fair and representative Congressional delegation.

The launch of Ya Tu Sabes also builds on previous digital work by BOLD PAC to combat misinformation targeting Latinos through </span> </span> <a href="https://www.boldpac.com/chc-bold-pac-releases-new-digital-ad-to-hold-republicans-accountable" target="_blank"> digital ads </a> <span> <span> holding Republicans accountable for their role in promoting the Big Lie and inciting the January 6th insurrection.  </span> </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> “The effort to educate and engage the Latino community is ours – it’s our community and it’s our fight.

I’m humbled BOLD PAC selected me to help advance Latino’s interests by talking about the things that matter to us y nuestra familias.The topic of politics at our dinner tables has long-been a dirty word, or at least a well-established taboo, to say the least, but elections impact our every-day lives and the people we care about the most. Hosting “Ya Tu Sabes” is an opportunity to start much-needed conversations within our communities, and I’m excited to be a part of that,” </span> </span> <span> Fresquez added </span> <span> . </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC Executive Director Victoria McGroary </span> <span> <span> highlighted that the channel applies a new lens to how political information is shared with the Latino community. “Efforts to engage Latinos need to meet the reality of their daily lives in new and creative ways. Ya Tu Sabes is at the cutting edge of political outreach to our community and will deliver messages in a way that’s relatable and fun ahead of the midterms. These aren’t your ordinary political spots. They’re all about meeting Latinos where they are. Latinos are online, on their phones, and on Youtube and Whatsapp. That’s where Democrats need to be too.” </span> </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> Ya Tu Sabes intro video can be found </span> </span> <a href="https://youtu.be/4pcvlbPD8q4" target="_blank"> here </a> <span> <span> in English along with the Spanish version </span> </span> <a href="https://youtu.be/ySiJxf-cc94" target="_blank"> here </a> <span> <span> .

El anuncio incluye el lanzamiento del nuevo canal de YouTube, “ </span> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQHO8X0hru_es_s6wkdx8_Q" target="_blank"> Ya Tu Sabes </a> <span> <span> ”, que será conducido por la actriz y presentadora de televisión latina, </span> </span> <span> Gabriela Fresquez </span> <span> . Ya Tu Sabes es la última fase del esfuerzo, bajo el nuevo lema “Our Lucha” y está respaldado por una inversión de seis cifras. </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> Our Lucha es una iniciativa de múltiples alcances destinada a motivar a los votantes latinos en todo el país, antes de las elecciones de medio término. Incluye los esfuerzos latinos de BOLD PAC para combatir la desinformación, educar y movilizar a los votantes latinos para que voten por los demócratas. Las fases anteriores de este esfuerzo incluyen el lanzamiento de " </span> <a href="https://www.boldpac.com/d" target="_blank"> Elija a demócratas diversos </a> <span> <span> " el año pasado, un comité afiliado dedicado a proteger los derechos al voto de las minorías raciales y étnicas, y a luchar por una delegación Congresional justa y representativa. Our Lucha también incluye una iniciativa de movilización nacional frente al proceso de </span> </span> <a href="https://www.boldpac.com/chc-bold-pac-announces-national-strategy-to-support-latino-communities-representation-in-redistricting" target="_blank"> redistribución de distritos </a> <span> <span> , con una inversión de seis cifras que se realizó el año. El objetivo es empoderar a las organizaciones de base latinas locales en estados clave, para organizar a los latinos y luchar por mapas electorales justos y representativos. El lanzamiento de Ya Tu Sabes también le da seguimiento al </span> </span> <a href="https://www.boldpac.com/chc-bold-pac-releases-new-digital-ad-to-hold-republicans-accountable" target="_blank"> trabajo digital </a> <span> <span> que ha realizado BOLD PAC para combatir la desinformación dirigida a los latinos a través de anuncios digitales, que responsabilizan a los republicanos por su papel en la promoción de la Gran Mentira y por incitar a la insurrección del 6 de enero. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> “El esfuerzo de educar y motivar a la comunidad latina es nuestra responsabilidad porque es nuestra comunidad y es nuestra lucha. Our Lucha se trata de nuestra </span> </span> <span> comunidad </span> <span> <span> . Se trata de nuestro compromiso de abogar por nosotros mismos y amplificar diversas voces, con inversiones tempranas y tácticas que realmente resonarán entre los latinos. Our Lucha comenzó este ciclo, pero se basa en más de 20 años de nuestro liderazgo para movilizar a los latinos. Este trabajo siempre ha sido liderado por hispanos, desde miembros del Congreso y candidatos hasta estrategas políticos. Luchar por una representación más diversa es lo que ha hecho BOLD PAC, y es algo que seguiremos haciendo durante las próximas décadas”, </span> </span> <span> dijo el presidente de CHC BOLD PAC, Rubén Gallego. </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> El alcance digital es fundamental para conectarse con los latinos, quienes tienen </span> </span> <a href="https://www.nielsen.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2019/04/the-online-lives-latinx-consumers.pdf" target="_blank"> más probabilidades de tener un teléfono </a> <span> <span> que otros grupos y obtener mucha información a través de YouTube. Según el Centro de Investigación Pew, el </span> </span> <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2021/04/07/social-media-use-in-2021/pi_2021-04-07_social-media_0-03/" target="_blank"> 85% de los adultos hispanos usan YouTube </a> <span> <span> , la tasa más alta de cualquier plataforma de redes sociales para este grupo. Pew también descubrió que los hispanos en los Estados Unidos son más propensos a </span> </span> <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2021/04/07/social-media-use-in-2021/" target="_blank"> utilizar WhatsApp </a> <span> <span> que otros grupos. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQHO8X0hru_es_s6wkdx8_Q" target="_blank"> Ya Tu Sabes </a> <span> <span> , un coloquialismo que significa “Now you know” en inglés, es un nuevo canal de YouTube que educará e informará a los latinos con humor y de una manera culturalmente competente. Los episodios se transmitirán en inglés con resúmenes en español. Cada episodio también incluirá un enlace donde el público puede compartir el video directamente en sus redes sociales y en WhatsApp. El primer episodio aborda la economía. El canal también se enfocará en otros asuntos importantes, como la educación, armas, entre otros temas, e incluirá anuncios en el Distrito 2 de Nuevo México y el Distrito 15 de Texas. El programa es producido por estrategas latinos y contará con la actriz y presentadora de televisión latina </span> </span> <span> Gabriela Fresquez </span> <span> . </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> Fresquez dijo </span> <span> <span> que está encantada de ayudar a la minoría más grande del país a aumentar su participación y poder en sus comunidades: “Involucrar a las audiencias requiere llevar a cabo un diálogo, no hablar o implicar que sabes más que ellos. Me siento honrada de que BOLD PAC me haya seleccionado para ayudar a promover los intereses de los latinos, dialogando sobre las cosas que nos importan a nosotros y a nuestras familias. El tema de la política en nuestros hogares ha tenido durante mucho tiempo un sabor amargo o al menos se ha convertido en un tabú, pero las elecciones impactan nuestras vidas y las de las personas que más nos importan. Ser anfitriona de Ya Tu Sabes es una oportunidad para iniciar conversaciones muy necesarias dentro de nuestras comunidades, y estoy emocionada de ser parte de eso”, </span> </span> <span> agregó Fresquez </span> <span> . </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> La directora ejecutiva de CHC BOLD PAC, Victoria McGroary </span> <span> , señaló que el canal aplica una nueva perspectiva sobre cómo se comparte la información política con la comunidad latina. “Los esfuerzos para involucrar a los latinos deben enfrentar la realidad de su vida diaria de formas novedosas y creativas. Ya Tu Sabes está a la vanguardia del alcance político de nuestra comunidad y transmitirá mensajes de una manera que sea fácil de identificar y divertida antes de las elecciones de medio término. Estos no son sus lugares políticos tradicionales. Se trata de acercarse a los latinos donde están. Los latinos están en línea, en sus teléfonos, en Youtube y Whatsapp. Ahí es donde los demócratas también deben estar”. </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> El primer video introductorio de Ya Tu Sabes se puede encontrar </span> </span> <a href="https://youtu.be/4pcvlbPD8q4" target="_blank"> aquí </a> <span> <span> en inglés, junto con la versión en español </span> </span> <a href="https://youtu.be/ySiJxf-cc94" target="_blank"> aquí </a> <span> <span> .

Our mission is to ensure that Congress reflects the diversity of our </span> </span> <span> entire </span> <span> <span> country and not just certain parts of it. So let me set the record straight: ensuring that Latinos and other communities of color have a seat at the table is a battle BOLD PAC has fought, proudly, for more than two decades and it’s one we will continue to fight for decades to come. </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Latinos are the largest minority group in the United States, and tens of thousands of Latinos call Hawaiʻi’s 2nd congressional district home. Our community and our values deserve to be fully represented. That’s why BOLD PAC has stood firmly behind Patrick Pihana Branco and his historic campaign to be the first Latino ever and the third Native Hawaiian since statehood to represent Hawaiʻi in Congress. To suggest that BOLD PAC’s support would make Patrick, or any Latino candidate, beholden to some obscure ‘special interest’ begs the question: what’s wrong with fighting for the Latino community?” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> PATRICK PIHANA BRANCO AND HAWAIʻI’S SECOND DISTRICT </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Patrick Pihana Branco is the State Representative for House District 50 (Kailua and Kāne‘ohe Bay). He was born and raised in Kailua, and spent his summers working on his great-grandfather’s farm on Hawaiʻi Island. He is a graduate of the Kamehameha Schools, Hawai’i Pacific University, and Johns Hopkins University. Drawn to public service, Patrick joined the U.S. Foreign Service as a Diplomat in 2012. He served tours in Colombia, Pakistan, Venezuela, the Office of the Special Representative for Afghanistan, and in the Secretary of State’s Operations Center. In the State Legislature, Patrick authored the bill which banned the possession of ghost guns in Hawaiʻi, and the resolution to have the State of Hawaiʻi formally apologize for its 90-year ban of the Hawaiian language in Hawaiʻi's public schools. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Hawaiʻi’s newly drawn second district is one of the most diverse districts in the country. It is a majority minority district and home to many diverse communities, including those who identify as Native Hawaiian, Asian, Pacific Islander, and Hispanic. Over 82,000 of its residents identify as Hispanic, which accounts for 11.3% of the population of the district.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> The Committee for Hispanic Causes Building Our Leadership Diversity PAC (CHC BOLD PAC) is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

Nuestra misión es asegurar que el Congreso refleje la diversidad de todo nuestro país y no solo ciertas partes. Así que permítanme dejar las cosas claras: asegurar que los latinos tengan un asiento en la mesa es una batalla que BOLD PAC ha luchado, con orgullo, durante más de dos décadas y es una batalla que continuaremos luchando en las próximas décadas. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Los latinos son el grupo minoritario más grande de los Estados Unidos, y decenas de miles de latinos llaman hogar al segundo distrito del Congreso de Hawái. Nuestra comunidad y valores merecen ser representados. Es por eso que BOLD PAC ha respaldado firmemente a Patrick Pihana Branco y su campaña histórica para ser el primer latino en representar a Hawaii en el Congreso. Insinuar que el apoyo de BOLD PAC haría que Patrick, o cualquier candidato latino, estuviera en deuda con algún oscuro "interés especial" plantea la pregunta: ¿qué hay de malo en luchar por la comunidad latina?” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> PATRICK BRANCO Y EL SEGUNDO DISTRITO DE HAWAI  </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> Patrick Pihana Branco es el representante estatal del Distrito 50 de la Cámara (Kailua y Kāne'ohe Bay). Nació y se crió en Kailua, y pasaba los veranos trabajando en la granja de su bisabuelo en la isla de Hawái. Se graduó de las Escuelas Kamehameha, la Universidad del Pacífico de Hawai y la Universidad Johns Hopkins. Atraído por el servicio público, Patrick se unió al Servicio Exterior de los EE.UU. como diplomático en 2012. Sirvió a las Fuerzas Armadas en Colombia, Pakistán, Venezuela, la Oficina del Representante Especial para Afganistán y en el Centro de Operaciones del Secretario de Estado. En la Legislatura estatal, Patrick fue el autor del proyecto de ley que prohibía la posesión de armas fantasma en Hawaii y la resolución para que el estado de Hawaii se disculpe formalmente por su prohibición de 90 años del idioma hawaiano en las escuelas públicas de Hawaii.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> El segundo distrito recién creado de Hawaii es uno de los distritos más diversos del país. Es un distrito de mayoría minorías y hogar de muchas comunidades diversas, incluidas aquellas que se identifican como nativos de Hawaii, asiáticos, isleños del Pacifico e hispanos. Más de 82.000 de sus residentes son hispanos, lo que representa el 11,3% de la población del distrito.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> El Comité para Causas Hispanas Construyendo Nuestro Liderazgo (Building Our Leadership Diversity) PAC (CHC BOLD PAC) es el brazo de campaña del Caucus Hispano del Congreso.

Delia already has a track record of accomplishment in the Illinois State House and she will take that same tenacity and dedication to justice and fairness for all to Congress.

Como resultado, este tipo de comunicación temprana pondrá a los demócratas en una posición más fuerte para ganar en noviembre. Los votantes latinos son una parte fundamental de la coalición demócrata y seguirán siendo clave para ganar la Casa Blanca y las mayorías en la Cámara y el Senado en el futuro.

The deadly attack was launched not only against the Capitol and the police officers who defended it, but it was also a strike on America’s very freedom to have a government by and for the people. CHC BOLD PAC today called on every Republican congressional candidate to denounce the Big Lie and recommitted to defeating the freedom-hating candidates who refuse to do so.  </span> </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> “The Big Lie is a debunked conspiracy theory used by MAGA Republicans to incite and justify a deadly insurrection to overturn a democratic election. Trump and his minions orchestrated a failed coup, lying to encourage a mob of domestic terrorists to attack police officers and veterans tasked with defending the Capitol and the freedom of the American people itself. Many Republicans in Congress have been loud supporters of Trump’s lies, even after the attack resulted in the death of five police officers, and have sided with their Party in defending the violence as “ </span> <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/04/us/politics/republicans-jan-6-cheney-censure.html" target="_blank"> legitimate </a> <span> <span> ,” </span> </span> <span> said CHC BOLD PAC Chairman Ruben Gallego </span> <span> . “January 6th is not in the past. Republican candidates across the country are jumping on the Trump autocratic train, supporting attempts in states across the country to undermine the will of American voters and steal the next election from their very hands. BOLD PAC calls on all candidates for Congress to denounce the Big Lie and recommits to taking our country back from those who continue to destroy our cherished liberties and right to self-government. Now is the time to use any peaceful and democratic means to hold all Republicans who stand with the extremists accountable at every turn, especially at the ballot box.”  </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> GOP </span> <span> <span> </span> </span> <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/13/jan-6-subpoenas-gop-lawmakers-00032479" target="_blank"> leadership </a> <span> <span> in Congress and many others in the Republican party continue to defend the January 6 domestic terrorists and their false claims that the 2020 Presidential election was stolen.

We need to have all the details of the failed Trump-supported coup to understand the gravity of what happened and exactly who did what. Only then will we be able to put this dark moment of our history behind us.”  </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> Here are just a few Republican candidates for Congress who encouraged the deadly violence and defended the domestic terrorists by peddling these dangerous lies: </span> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> </p> <ul> <li> <span> Maria Salazar (FL-27) </span> <span> <span> , a former journalist who undoubtedly understands how to investigate and fact-check, </span> </span> <a href="https://www.sun-sentinel.com/opinion/editorials/fl-op-edit-miami-dade-congress-election-conspiracy-theories-20210604-5hulbajebzdnbemxglv2bfkt3u-story.html" target="_blank"> sowed doubt </a> <span> <span> about the election results in Pennsylvania after the insurrection despite widespread </span> </span> <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trumps-false-claims-debunked-2020-election-jan-6-riot-2022-01-06/" target="_blank"> evidence that the election was free and fair </a> <span> . </span> </li> <li> <span> Yvette Herrell (NM-02) </span> <span> <span> voted against certifying the election after the deadly attack against the Capitol that left five police officers dead.

El ataque sangriento se lanzó no solo contra el Capitolio y los policías que lo defendían, sino que también fue un golpe a la libertad de Estados Unidos y su derecho a un gobierno por y para el pueblo. CHC BOLD PAC le exigió hoy a todos los candidatos republicanos al Congreso que denuncien la Gran Mentira y renovó su compromiso a derrotar a los candidatos que odian la libertad y que se niegan a denunciar tales engaños.  </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> “La Gran Mentira es una teoría de conspiración desacreditada utilizada por los republicanos trompistas para incitar y justificar un ataque peligroso contra el Capitolio para anular una elección democrática. Trump y sus subordinados orquestaron un golpe de estado fallido, mintiendo para provocar a una multitud de terroristas domésticos a atacar a policías y veteranos encargados de defender el Capitolio y la libertad del propio pueblo estadounidense. Muchos republicanos en el Congreso han sido fuertes partidarios de las mentiras de Trump, incluso después del ataque que resultó en la muerte de cinco policías, y se han unido a su partido en defender la violencia como “ </span> <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/04/us/politics/republicans-jan-6-cheney-censure.html" target="_blank"> legítima </a> <span> <span> ”, </span> </span> <span> dijo el presidente de CHC BOLD PAC, Rubén Gallego </span> <span> . “El 6 de enero no es cosa del pasado. Los candidatos republicanos de todo el país se están subiendo al tren autocrático de Trump, apoyando los intentos en los estados de todo el país de socavar la voluntad de los votantes estadounidenses y robarles de la próxima elección. BOLD PAC le hace un llamado a todos los candidatos al Congreso a denunciar la Gran Mentira y renovamos nuestro compromiso a rescatar a nuestro país de aquellos que continúan destruyendo nuestras libertades preciadas y el derecho a autogobernarnos. Ha llegado el momento de usar maneras pacíficas y democráticas para responsabilizar a los republicanos que respaldan a los extremistas en todos los frentes, especialmente en las urnas de votación. </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> El </span> <span> <span> </span> </span> <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/13/jan-6-subpoenas-gop-lawmakers-00032479" target="_blank"> liderazgo </a> <span> <span> </span> </span> <span> republicano en el Congreso y muchos otros en el partido republicano continúan defendiendo a los terroristas domésticos del 6 de enero y sus falsos alegatos de que las elecciones presidenciales de 2020 fueron robadas. Republicanos como la presidenta de la Conferencia Republicana de la Cámara, la representante Elise Stefanik, han defendido a los extremistas como “ </span> <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-ally-rep-elise-stefanik-161353117.html?guccounter=1&amp;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAGgruidVlC-7DGWSN8Qf8aecxSAfgam2hvO6yDZFquTuP_8YiJbNRbc_LWfoyoM77gJlI2GERLbXzjzW_zehhiiz7ErJLU5uXcT1iK7PgD4dKtzTqzTFyo1_S6x0Z_Zs72saEGP0HBuNTaL_MOmR0rpfdQvB4J5FeM4rY-iOHr0O" target="_blank"> patriotas </a> <span> ”. Lamentablemente, la representante Stefanik no está sola. El líder de la minoría de la Cámara de Representantes, Kevin McCarthy, y otros republicanos del Capitolio se han hecho eco de su  retórica incendiaria. </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> De hecho, solo unas horas después del ataque sangriento al Capitolio, </span> </span> <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/01/07/us/elections/electoral-college-biden-objectors.html" target="_blank"> 147 republicanos </a> <span> <span> apoyaron a los terroristas domésticos votando en contra de certificar las elecciones presidenciales de 2020, a pesar de la </span> </span> <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trumps-false-claims-debunked-2020-election-jan-6-riot-2022-01-06/" target="_blank"> evidencia abrumadora </a> <span> <span> </span> </span> <span> de que las elecciones fueron libres y justas. </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> La miembro de la junta de CHC BOLD PAC, Sylvia García (TX-29), </span> </span> <span> dijo: “Debemos rescatar a nuestro país y defender la democracia estadounidense.

Las acciones tienen consecuencias y la violencia cobarde de estos golpistas no es la excepción. Necesitamos tener todos los detalles del golpe fallido apoyado por Trump para comprender la gravedad de lo que sucedió y saber exactamente quién hizo qué. Solo así podremos dejar atrás este momento oscuro de nuestra historia”. </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> Estos son solo algunos de los candidatos republicanos al Congreso que incitaron a la violencia letal y defendieron a los terroristas domésticos apoyando estas peligrosas mentiras: </span> </span> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <ul> <li> <span> <span> Yvette Herrell (NM-02) </span> </span> <span> <span> votó en contra de certificar la elección luego del ataque sangriento contra el Capitolio que dejó cinco policías muertos.

The GOP freedom-hating machine is on the march and it needs to be stopped in its tracks. Whether it’s promoting the Big Lie or proudly boasting endorsements by self-proclaimed cop-killers, Mayra Flores has proven she cannot be trusted to stand up for American freedom,” </span> </span> <span> said CHC BOLD PAC Chairman Ruben Gallego </span> <span> . “Texans and all Americans deserve to be represented in Congress by public servants that support our men and women in uniform, fight to preserve our freedoms, and denounce hate and violence in all its forms. Flores is simply not up to this task. That’s why we were so proud to support Dan Sanchez for the June 14th special election in Texas’ 34th district. Dan will fight to protect our freedoms, our voting rights, and promote safer and better schools for our kids.” </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> Mayra Flores has demonstrated that if elected, she will do what she has always done – abandon American freedom, democracy, and the men and women in the military and police who have fought to protect it. Look no further than her recent history of inciting violence, spreading lies and peddling conspiracy theories, and boasting endorsements by individuals bragging about violence against police.

La maquinaria republicana que odia la libertad está en marcha y tenemos que detenerla ya. Ya sea promoviendo la Gran Mentira electoral o alardeando orgullosamente del respaldo de los asesinos de policías, Mayra Flores ha demostrado que no se puede confiar en ella para defender la libertad estadounidense”, </span> </span> <span> dijo el presidente de CHC BOLD PAC, Rubén Gallego </span> <span> . “Los texanos y todos los estadounidenses merecen ser representados en el Congreso por servidores públicos que apoyen a nuestros hombres y mujeres uniformados, que luchen por preservar nuestras libertades y denuncien el odio y la violencia en todas sus formas. Flores simplemente no hará esto. Por eso nos sentimos tan orgullosos de apoyar a Dan Sánchez para la elección especial del 14 de junio en el distrito 34 de Texas. Dan luchará para proteger nuestras libertades, nuestro derecho al voto y promoverá escuelas mejores y más seguras para nuestros hijos”. </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> Mayra Flores ha demostrado que si es elegida, hará lo que siempre ha hecho: abandonar la libertad estadounidense, la democracia, los hombres y mujeres en las fuerzas armadas y la policía que han luchado para protegernos. No hace falta mirar más allá de su historial reciente de incitar a la violencia, difundir mentiras, vender teorías de conspiración y amplificar el apoyo de personas que se vanaglorian por haber cometido actos violentos contra la policía.

Whether as a Diplomat in the US Foreign Service or as a State Representative, Patrick has dedicated his life to serving Hawai'i and our country. In Congress, Patrick will help bring down Hawai'i's ever-rising cost of living by bringing good paying jobs to the state, and secure the federal support needed to strengthen Hawai'i's rural areas and agricultural sector,” </span> <span> <span> Gallego added. </span> </span> <span> <span> </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “Dan is a native Texan who is no stranger to hard work – he grew up working the fields and has </span> <span> <span> dedicated his career to serving his community as a prosecutor, public defender, judge, and a county commissioner.

In the State Legislature, Patrick has worked to address Hawai'i’s ever-rising cost of living, the climate crisis, and keeping our communities safe. Now, Branco is running to represent Hawai'i’s 2nd Congressional District in Congress. He will work to highlight a handful of policy priorities, including those that would create more jobs in renewable energy and cybersecurity, veterans, and Native Hawaiian issues. If elected, Branco would be the third Native Hawaiian since statehood to serve in Congress. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Dan Sanchez (TX-34 special) </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Daniel Antonio Sanchez was born in Harlingen, Texas, and grew up in Los Indios, Texas — a small farming community—where he spent his youth working in the fields. He attended The University of Texas School of Law in Austin, where he received his Doctorate in Jurisprudence in 1998. He has been an assistant district attorney in Cameron County, justice of the peace, and served as a judge until 2010. He was elected as County Commissioner for Cameron County in 2011 and served through 2016. He has dedicated his life and education to serving others. Sanchez believes that the people of South Texas need a strong leader who will advocate for them in Washington, D.C., while not missing a beat. He has demonstrated his strong leadership and is ready to continue to serve Texas’ 34th congressional district. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC is dedicated to increasing diversity in the House and Senate by getting more Latinos and Latinas elected.

Luchó para aprobar el proyecto de ley de licencia familiar pagada más progresista del país. También ayudó a aprobar un proyecto de ley para aumentar la transparencia en los precios de los medicamentos, para que las familias no tengan que elegir entre comprar alimentos o medicinas y un proyecto de ley que reduce la contaminación por carbono y elimina gradualmente el carbón sucio. Andrea jugó un papel decisivo en la aprobación de la Ley de Equidad en Salud Reproductiva de Oregón, la ley de derechos reproductivos más sólida del país. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Está llevando a cabo una campaña histórica y fue una de las funcionarias electas latinas de más alto rango en la historia de Oregón, se desempeñó como líder y líder asistente de la mayoría en la Cámara de Representantes de su estado. Oregón nunca ha tenido un latino o latina elegida para el sexto distrito congresional, (que tiene un 21 por ciento de hispanos) y este año tiene la oportunidad de hacer historia. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Andrea es la mujer y persona de color que liderara esta carrera congresional. Más de 100 demócratas electos, organizaciones progresistas y líderes comunitarios han respaldado a Andrea, incluidos Planned Parenthood Action Fund, la Gobernadora Kate Brown, la Congresista Bonamici (OR-01), The Oregonian, Willamette Week, Service Employees International Union (SEIU) y League of Conservation Voters Action Fund (LCV). </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> El Comité para Causas Hispanas (CHC) BOLD PAC es el brazo de campaña del Caucus Hispano del Congreso.

Wade tendría impactaría desproporcionadamente a  las mujeres latinas y afroamericanas </span> </p> <p> <span> Las mujeres de color ya registran las tasas más bajas de acceso a la atención médica </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Washington, D.C. </span> <span> <span> - Hoy el Presidente de CHC BOLD PAC, Ruben Gallego, emitió la siguiente declaración sobre el impacto de anular Roe v. Wade para las latinas, afroamericanas y mujeres de color: </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <br/> “Para muchas mujeres tener acceso al aborto ya es demasiado difícil, especialmente para las latinas, afroamericanas y otras mujeres de color que enfrentan obstáculos discriminatorios en la atención médica. Cuarenta y nueve años después de Roe v. Wade, los republicanos todavía intentan controlar la libertad reproductiva de las mujeres y negarles sus derechos fundamentales”, </span> </span> <span> dijo Rubén Gallego, Presidente de CHC BOLD PAC </span> <span> . “La única forma de detener la maquinaria anti aborto de los republcianos es derrotándolos en la boleta electoral”. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> A nivel nacional, de las mujeres que se realizan abortos, el 37 % son afroamericanas, el 25% hispanas y el 6% asiaticas e isleñas del Pacífico. Las mujeres de color ya registran las tasas más bajas de acceso a la atención médica, especialmente las latinas que enfrentan barreras culturales y de idioma, debido a sus finanzas y estatus migratorio. Además, debido a las leyes restrictivas de los republicanos, los puestos de la patrulla fronteriza en estados como Texas, pueden dificultar el desplazamiento de mujeres latinas indocumentadas a clínicas en otros estados donde el aborto es más accesible. </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> La Congresista y Miembro de la junta de CHC BOLD PAC, Norma Torres (CA-35), emitió la siguiente declaración: </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> "Las mujeres deberían poder decidir si están listas para formar una familia, no el gobierno. Las latinas y otras mujeres de color ya enfrentan obstáculos para tener acceso a servicios de salud reproductiva seguros y de bajo costo. Las libertades están en la boleta electoral en 2022 y lucharemos para protegerlas y asegurarnos que los republicanos no priven a las mujeres de un derecho constitucional reconocido desde hace mucho tiempo”. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Anular Roe v. Wade pondría en peligro la salud y la seguridad de las mujeres de color que solicitan un aborto, lo que socavaría el derecho fundamental de las mujeres a tomar decisiones sobre sus propios cuerpos y el futuro de sus familias. Cuando se trata del impacto que esta posible decisión tendría sobre las minorías, los números no mienten: </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <ul> <li> <span> De los 46.639 abortos realizados dentro y fuera de Texas en 2021, las mujeres hispanas representaron el 36% de quienes se realizaron este procedimiento. </span> </li> <li> <span> En Mississippi, las personas de color representan el 44% de la población, pero el 81% de las mujeres abortan. </span> </li> <li> <span> En Luisiana, las minorías representan el 42 % de la población y alrededor del 72% de quienes abortan. </span> </li> <li> <span> El 58% de los hispanos consideran que el aborto debería ser legal en todos o en la mayoría de los casos. </span> </li> <li> <span> Casi el 70% de los afroamericanos y asiáticos consideran que el aborto debería ser legal en todos o en la mayoría de los casos. </span> </li> </ul> <p> <span> <br/> Los demócratas en la Cámara aprobaron la Ley de Protección de la Salud de la Mujer que codifica Roe v. Wade como ley, mientras todos los republicanos de la Cámara votaron en su contra. Es por eso que necesitamos elegir demócratas sólidos que representen nuestros valores, que sean valientes defensores y quienes nunca dejarán de luchar por los derechos reproductivos de las mujeres. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> ### </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC, el brazo de campaña del Caucus Hispano, fue fundado en 2001 para aumentar la representación latina en el Congreso.

These two candidates represent the best hope for us to win in November, expand Latino representation in Congress and improve the quality of life for communities in their districts and across the nation,”  </span> <span> said ​​CHC BOLD PAC Chairman Ruben Gallego </span> <span> . “They’ve demonstrated their commitment to a better and more equitable future, and have the experience to lead. Whether it’s fighting for affordable access to healthcare, good-paying jobs, and the opportunity to get ahead, Yadira and Maxwell are the best candidates in their races and we look forward to serving with them in Congress next year.” </span> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> <span> Yadira Caraveo </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> Dr. Yadira Caraveo is a pediatrician, state representative, and daughter of immigrants. Dr. Caraveo’s parents raised her and her siblings on her father’s construction worker’s salary in Adams County. Even before she finished her medical training, advocacy for others became an important part of Yadira’s life. She helped organize her fellow medical residents for better working conditions, becoming a union representative with SEIU. She was named a Champion of Change by President Obama for her work with the Union of Concerned Scientists enlisting doctors across the country in the fight against climate change. In the legislature, Dr. Caraveo worked to pass historic legislation to force drug companies to lower the cost of prescriptions, drastically limit the toxic pollution that is endangering Coloradan kids’ health and our planet, expand funding for preschool, ensure all Coloradans have access to paid family and sick leave, and protect renters from eviction during the pandemic. Dr. Caraveo would be the first Latina to represent Colorado in Congress and the only physician in Colorado’s congressional delegation. <br/> <br/> </span> <span> Maxwell Alejandro Frost <br/> </span> <span> <br/> Maxwell Alejandro Frost is a gun violence survivor and civil rights activist who has spent his life fighting on the frontlines for justice. He's experienced police abuse firsthand, seen his community ravaged by gun violence, and understands the way that working people and people of color are unjustly marginalized and left behind by our society - and that's who he's running for. In 2018, he helped lead the ACLU of Florida’s fight to win Amendment 4, which restored voting rights to over 1.6 million Floridians who had previous felony convictions. As a National Organizer with the ACLU in 2020, he worked to win Biden’s support for abolishing the Hyde Amendment, legislation that has limited abortion access for millions of people. As Organizing Director at March for Our Lives, one of the largest youth-led political movements in the country, he led an ambitious turnout program that drove record amounts of young people to the polls, helping to hold the House, and win a Democratic Senate, and Presidency.  <br/> <br/> </span> <span> CHC BOLD PAC </span> <span> <br/> <br/> BOLD PAC is dedicated to increasing diversity in the House and Senate by getting more Latinos and Latinas elected. In 2020, BOLD PAC helped elect two new Latino Members to the House -- Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernandez, the first Latina to represent New Mexico’s 3rd district, and Congressman Ritchie Torres, the first openly LGBTQ+ Afro-Latino. BOLD PAC also helped send two new Latinos to the Senate -- Senators Ben Ray Lujan and Alex Padilla. Additionally, BOLD PAC played an integral role in protecting the Democratic majority by​​ endorsing 117 candidates across the country and contributing $1 million directly to their campaigns. These efforts helped elect and re-elect 45 Members of Congress. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> ### </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

Sus padres la criaron a ella y a sus hermanos con el salario de su padre, que era trabajador de la construcción en el condado de Adams.

Ella ayudó a organizar a sus compañeros médicos residentes, para obtener mejores condiciones de trabajo y se convirtió en representante sindical de SEIU. Fue nombrada Campeona del Cambio por el presidente Obama por su trabajo con la Unión de Científicos Preocupados, enlistando médicos de todo el país para luchar contra el cambio climático. En la legislatura, la Dra. Caraveo trabajó para aprobar una legislación histórica para: obligar a las compañías farmacéuticas a reducir los precios de los medicamentos y limitar drásticamente la contaminación tóxica que estaba poniendo en peligro la salud de los niños de Colorado y del planeta. Igualmente ayudó a pasar legislación para ampliar los fondos para estudios preescolares, garantizar que todos los residentes de Colorado tengan acceso a licencias de cuidado familiar y proteger a los inquilinos frente al desalojo durante la pandemia. </span> <br/> <br/> <span> Maxwell Alejandro Frost </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Maxwell Alejandro Frost es un sobreviviente de la violencia por armas y activista de los derechos civiles, él ha pasado su vida luchando en primera línea por la justicia.

En 2018, lideró la lucha de ACLU en Florida para ganar la Enmienda 4, que restauró los derechos de voto a más de 1,6 millones de floridanos, quienes han tenido condenas previas por delitos graves.

Jackson Women’s Health Organization </span> <span> <span> that would overturn </span> </span> <span> Roe v. Wade </span> <span> .  </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <br/> “The GOP's war against women could soon hit a new low. Decades of Republican attacks have left abortion rights hanging by a thread in the U.S. After two stolen Supreme Court seats and a series of draconian anti-choice state laws, the time to fight back is now. A woman’s right to choose is sacred and we will make sure Republicans are reminded loud and clear in every polling place across the nation this November,” </span> </span> <span> said CHC BOLD PAC Chairman Ruben Gallego </span> <span> .  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> “We will keep fighting until every person, no matter what they look like or where they live, has the freedom to make decisions about their own bodies. That’s why we need to elect strong Democrats who represent our values and will be fearless advocates who will never stop fighting for reproductive rights.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> CHC BOLD PAC Board Member Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia (TX-29) released the following statement: </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <br/> “This is not surprising, Republicans are already trying to prohibit people from accessing abortion across state lines, showing there’s no limit to their despicable attempts to control women’s reproductive freedoom. Everybody should be able to make their own personal health care decisions that impact their lives, health, and futures,” </span> </span> <span> said Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia </span> <span> . “Republican abortion bans are systemic discrimination in action and the impact if Roe v.

Wade,” </span> </span> <span> said Congresswoman Linda Sánchez </span> <span> . “If true, this decision will turn back decades of progress for women across the country – especially Latinas and people of color who already face discriminatory obstacles to health care.

Jackson Women's Health Organization que anularía Roe v. Wade. </span> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> <span> “La guerra del Partido Republicano contra las mujeres pronto podría tocar fondo. Décadas de ataques republicanos han dejado el derecho al aborto colgando de un hilo en los Estados Unidos. Después de dos escaños robados en la Corte Suprema y una serie de leyes estatales draconianas contra el aborto, ahora es el momento de contraatacar. El derecho de una mujer a elegir es sagrado y nos aseguraremos de que esto se les recuerde claramente a los republicanos en todos los puntos de votación de la nación, este noviembre”, </span> <span> <span> dijo el presidente de CHC BOLD PAC, Rubén Gallego. </span> </span> <br/> <br/> <span> “Seguiremos luchando hasta que cada persona, sin importar su apariencia o dónde viva, tenga la libertad de tomar decisiones sobre su propio cuerpo y su propia vida. Es por eso que necesitamos elegir demócratas fuertes que representen nuestros valores y que sean defensores incansables que nunca dejarán de luchar por los derechos reproductivos”. </span> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> <span> La Congresista y miembro de la junta de CHC BOLD PAC, Sylvia Garcia (TX-29), emitió la siguiente declaración: </span> <span> <br/> </span> <br/> <span> “Esto no es sorprendente, los republicanos ya están tratando de prohibir que las personas accedan al aborto a través de las fronteras estatales, lo que demuestra que no hay límite para sus despreciables intentos de controlar la libertad reproductiva de las mujeres. Todos deberían poder tomar sus propias decisiones sobre la atención médica que impacta sus vidas y su futuro”, </span> <span> <span> dijo la Congresista Sylvia Garcia </span> </span> <span> . “Las prohibiciones republicanas al aborto son un discrimen sistemático en acción y el impacto si se anula Roe v. Wade recaerá más sobre las latinas y otras mujeres de grupos minoritarios que ya enfrentan obstáculos discriminatorios en la atención médica”. </span> <br/> <br/> <span> La Congresista y miembro de la junta de CHC BOLD PAC, Linda Sánchez (CA-38), emitió la siguiente declaración: </span> <br/> <br/> <span> “Estoy profundamente alarmada por el documento de opinión de la Corte Suprema para anular Roe v. Wade”, </span> <span> <span> dijo la congresista Linda Sánchez </span> </span> <span> . “Si es cierto, esta decisión hará retroceder décadas de progreso para las mujeres en todo el país, especialmente las latinas y las personas de color que ya enfrentan obstáculos discriminatorios en la atención médica. Las decisiones personales sobre el cuidado de la salud afectan nuestra salud, nuestras vidas y nuestro futuro. Esas decisiones deben dejarse en manos de cada mujer para que las decida por sí misma, y ​​deben tomarse en el consultorio del médico, no en la sala del tribunal”. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> ### </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC, el brazo de campaña del Caucus Hispano, fue fundado en 2001 para aumentar la representación latina en el Congreso.

The buy will start on April 26th and run through the primary. The first ad will focus on Salinas’ strong bio and record of delivering for Oregonians. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Andrea Salinas is a proven leader who will fight for affordable health care, a woman’s right to choose, good jobs, and an environment that is protected for generations to come.

She fought to pass the nation’s most progressive paid family leave bill. She also helped pass a bill to increase the transparency of drug pricing so that families aren’t choosing between food and prescription drugs and a bill curbing carbon pollution and phasing out dirty coal. Andrea was instrumental in passing the Oregon’s Reproductive Health Equity Act, the strongest reproductive rights law in the country. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> She is running a historic campaign and was one of the highest ranking Latino elected officials in Oregon’s history, having served as Majority Whip and Assistant Majority Leader in the Oregon House of Representatives. Oregon has never had a Latino or Latina elected to Congress and the 6th Congressional District – which is 21 percent Hispanic – has the opportunity to make history this year. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Andrea is the leading woman and person of color in this race. More than 80 elected Democrats, progressive organizations, and community leaders have endorsed Andrea, including Governor Kate Brown, Congresswoman Bonamici (OR-01), CHC BOLD PAC, The Oregonian, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Service Employees International Union (SEIU), and League of Conservation Voters Action Fund (LCV). </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> The Committee for Hispanic Causes (CHC) BOLD PAC is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. It was founded in 2001 – it is dedicated to electing Latinos and Latinas to Congress and is powered by thousands of donors from across the country. Over the past 20 years, BOLD PAC has doubled the size of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.  <br/> <br/> While its core mission focuses on increasing diversity in Congress, BOLD PAC has also played an integral role in making and defending the Democratic majorities in the House and Senate. In 2020, BOLD PAC endorsed 117 House and Senate candidates across the country and contributed $1 million directly to their campaigns. These efforts helped elect and re-elect 45 Members of Congress. </span> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> ### </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> <span> ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ </span> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> Tue, 26 Apr 2022 20:52:36 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/chc-bold-pac-announces-1-million-ad-buy-in-support-andrea-salinas-in-oregons-sixth-congressional-district press release thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/rep-ruben-gallego-on-what-democrats-need-to-do-win-over-latino-voters <div> <img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/imrs.webp"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> Original Article: </span> </span> <a href="https://www.latinorebels.com/2022/08/25/yatusabeschc/" target="_blank"> Latino Rebels </a> <span> . 04/22/22 </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> In today’s edition … Rep.

Soon after Jan. 6, we put together YouTube ads for four or five districts calling out these Republicans — both Latino Republicans and Republicans that represent districts with high Latino populations — on their vote to decertify the election. That got a lot of attention from the local press, got a lot of attention from the Spanish press. </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The Early: </span> <span> <span> Which states and districts do you view as the test of whether Democrats will be successful this year in reversing Republican gains with Hispanic voters? </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Gallego: </span> <span> <span> I would say suburban California. Arizona. I think it's going to be hard to really see anything in Florida, in Miami. The work that we're going to have to do there — it’s going to take years for us to undo the harm that was caused by a very moribund party down there. And then  </span> </span> <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/02/28/republicans-south-texas-primary/?itid=lk_inline_manual_17" target="_blank"> the Rio Grande Valley </a> <span>  is going to be important. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> The Early: </span> </span> <span> What about  </span> <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/01/us/politics/nevada-midterms-democrats.html" target="_blank"> Nevada </a> <span> ? </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Gallego: </span> <span> <span> The problem with Nevada isn't the Latino vote. It's the economy there. It hasn't recovered like the rest of the country. Latinos aren't going to vote because they're mad about not having a job — not because of any real pull towards [Republican Senate candidate] </span> </span> <span> Adam Laxalt </span> <span> . It’s not like he has an appeal there. It's just more along the lines of the environment. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Partly what's happening here is the Republicans are going to try to claim victories of ‘Latinos’ in an off-year election. There’s gonna be a lot of gamesmanship to try to do that. It frustrates me that some people don't really look deep down and see what's happening. I'll give a good example: In Texas, you'll see some districts where, ‘Oh, my God, it's a Latino district and they voted more Republican.' When you look at those districts, they tend to be very big rural areas of the country where the voting-age population ends up being a lower amount of Latinos with a lot of white rural voters, and they end up creating the [Republican] surge that you see. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The Early: </span> <span> <span> A  </span> </span> <a href="https://poll.qu.edu/poll-release?releaseid=3842" target="_blank"> Quinnipiac University poll </a> <span>  this month found that 42 percent of Hispanic Americans would like to see Republicans win control of the House of Representatives if the election was held today — compared to 43 percent who would like to see Democrats win control. What do you make of those numbers? </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Gallego: </span> <span> <span> It does mean that we have to work harder to get the messaging out about what the Democrats have done, and what the Republicans are going to do should they take over. It is an off-year election. We have to over-communicate. </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The Early: </span> <span> <span> The pollster </span> </span> <span> John Anzalone </span> <span>   </span> <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/04/15/bidens-pollster-midterms-00025482" target="_blank"> told Politico last week </a> <span>  that he was seeing “a huge divide” in support for Republicans between Hispanic men and Hispanic women. Are you seeing that, too? Why do you think that is? </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> Gallego: </span> </span> <span> Well, I've seen that for quite a while. The difference has been that [in the past] Hispanic men just didn't vote. And now those that are coming out are voting still Democratic, but they're not voting [Democratic] at the levels [they] used to. The largest reason why, in my opinion, is the Latino male is working class. And they're going to follow what other working-class voter patterns are to some degree. No. 2, because we as Democrats have not delivered immigration reform, at some point those voters, those male Latino voters that do care about that issue, aren’t going to stick with us. So then you have to start delivering real, tangible economic benefit to that community. What we need to do is deliver or else they're going to either not vote or they're going to start voting more Republican. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The Early: </span> <span> <span> Democrats  </span> </span> <a href="https://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/arizona-clinton-trump-blue-226536" target="_blank"> worked for years to turn Arizona blue </a> <span> <span>  before Sinema won in 2018, followed by </span> </span> <span> Sen. Mark Kelly </span> <span> <span> (D-Ariz.) and </span> </span> <span> President Biden's </span> <span> <span> victories in 2020. What do Democrats need to do to keep the state blue this year? </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> Gallego: </span> </span> <span> Everyone talks about losing the Latino vote — or losing some Latino vote — in 2020. But that's not what happened in Arizona. And the reason why is because there has been consistent investment in turning out the Latino vote, in communicating to Latinos here. And if that had been done in other states for as long as we have done it, it would make a big difference in terms of really stopping the bleeding that is occurring when it comes to Latino voters. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The Early: </span> <span> <span> You’ve said you’re  </span> </span> <a href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/lissandravilla/kyrsten-sinema-ruben-gallego-arizona-senate" target="_blank"> considering challenging Sinema </a> <span>  in the primary in 2024. When do you expect to make a decision about that? And how will you decide? </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> Gallego: </span> </span> <span> Well, I'm definitely not going to make it in the 2022 cycle. Decisions like that are made, one, with my family, and two, really with the voters of Arizona. If I feel that they want change and I feel like we're gonna be able to [win] the general [election] — beating [Sinema in] the primary’s not really the question — then that'll help me determine what to do. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> Fri, 22 Apr 2022 17:09:07 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/rep-ruben-gallego-on-what-democrats-need-to-do-win-over-latino-voters news thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/chc-bold-pac-announces-new-congressional-endorsements-for-the-2022-midterms <div> <img src="https://irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/bold+logo+final-01.png"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> <br/> </span> <span>   </span> <span> CHC BOLD PAC Announces New Congressional Endorsements for the 2022 Midterms </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE </span> </p> <p> <span> April 20, 2022 </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> Contact: Diana Castaneda                      </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> diana@chcboldpac.com </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Washington, D.C. </span> <span> <span> - </span> </span> <span> As part of its commitment to expanding Latino representation in Congress while defending the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives, today CHC BOLD PAC is endorsing two candidates in key districts -- Rob Menendez (NJ-08) and Phil Arballo (CA-13). </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> <br/> “We need to meet this moment with bold actions; that’s why CHC BOLD PAC is proud to endorse Rob Menendez and Phil Arballo for Congress,” </span> </span> <span> said ​​CHC BOLD PAC Chairman Ruben Gallego. “ </span> <span> Rob is running for Congress to strengthen families and to fight for access to healthcare, good-paying union jobs, better childcare, and so many more priorities to address the challenges facing this nation.

She fought to pass the nation’s most progressive paid family leave bill. She also helped pass a bill to increase the transparency of drug pricing so that families aren’t choosing between food and prescription drugs and a bill curbing carbon pollution and phasing out dirty coal. Andrea was instrumental in passing the Oregon’s Reproductive Health Equity Act, the strongest reproductive rights law in the country.  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> She is running a historic campaign and was one of the highest ranking Latino elected officials in Oregon’s history, having served as Majority Whip and Assistant Majority Leader in the Oregon House of Representatives. Oregon has never had a Latino or Latina elected to Congress and the 6th Congressional District – which is 21 percent Hispanic – has the opportunity to make history this year.  <br/> <br/> Andrea is the leading woman and person of color in this race. More than 80 elected Democrats, prorgressive organizations, and community leaders have endorsed Andrea, including Congresswoman Bonamici (OR-01), CHC BOLD PAC, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Service Employees International Union (SEIU), and League of Conservation Voters Action Fund (LCV). <br/>   </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC </span> <span> <br/> <br/> The Committee for Hispanic Causes (CHC) BOLD PAC is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

Over the past 20 years, BOLD PAC has doubled the size of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.  </span> </p> <p> <span> While its core mission focuses on increasing diversity in Congress, BOLD PAC has also played an integral role in making and defending the Democratic majorities in the House and Senate.

Luchó para aprobar el proyecto de ley de licencia familiar pagada más progresista del país. También ayudó a aprobar un proyecto de ley para aumentar la transparencia en los precios de los medicamentos, para que las familias no tengan que elegir entre comprar alimentos o medicinas, y un proyecto de ley que reduce la contaminación por carbono y elimina gradualmente el carbón sucio.

Más de 80 demócratas electos, organizaciones progresistas y líderes comunitarios han respaldado a Andrea, incluida la Congresista Bonamici (OR-01), CHC BOLD PAC, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Service Employees International Union (SEIU) y League of Conservation Voters Action Fund ( LCV). </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> El Comité para Causas Hispanas (CHC) BOLD PAC es el brazo de campaña del Caucus Hispano del Congreso.

Latina women helped lead the charge by mobilizing communities and voting for Democrats up and down the ballot across the country. Their role in the midterms will be no less critical. Yet despite this fact,  </span> <a href="https://www.thehousemajoritypac.com/about-hmp" target="_blank"> House Majority PAC </a> <span>  – the largest spender working to elect Democrats to the House – has deliberately chosen not to endorse Andrea Salinas, a candidate who is among the most qualified Latinas running in a congressional race anywhere in the country. HMP is tasked with defending the House Majority by boosting Democrats and holding Republicans accountable, not with spending critical resources against a woman who has spent decades fighting for progressive causes and who will excite Democratic voters in November. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Right now, Democrats should be doubling-down on their investments to empower Latino and Latina candidates like Andrea who are running strong campaigns focused on issues that matter to communities of color and working families. Oregon has never had a Latina or Latino representative in Congress, and the 6th district – which is 21 percent Hispanic – has the opportunity to make history this year. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> “Instead of supporting Andrea, House Majority PAC is spending nearly $1 million to prop up her opponent Carrick Flynn. This stands in contrast to the thinking of a majority of Democrats who know that Latino candidates and voters must be taken seriously for the midterm elections. That includes over 80 elected Democrats, progressive organizations, and community leaders that have endorsed Andrea, such as CHC BOLD PAC, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Service Employees International Union (SEIU), and League of Conservation Voters Action Fund (LCV). HMP’s decision to oppose these groups raises serious concerns. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> “BOLD PAC encouraged Andrea to run for Congress because she is an exceptionally qualified leader who doesn’t back down from a fight. We’ve been with her since day one and we stand resolute in our commitment to helping her get elected to Congress,” </span> </span> <span> said BOLD PAC Chairman Ruben Gallego. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> CHC BOLD PAC Board Member Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia (TX-29) also released the following statement, </span> </span> <span> “As the fastest-growing segment of the electorate over the last 20 years, Latino voters represent the country’s second-largest voter bloc by ethnicity – those who take them for granted, do so at their own peril. </span> <span> <span> </span> </span> <span> Andrea Salinas is a transformational leader who has spent decades fighting for women and families as an advocate and an elected official. She was instrumental in passing Oregon’s Reproductive Health Equity Act, the strongest reproductive rights law in the country. While 145 women serve in Congress today, we still make up only 27 percent of the entire Congress, compared to 50 percent of the U.S. population. At a time when reproductive rights are at stake, Democrats should be moving mountains to ensure that there are more women at the table – especially women of color – instead of actively trying to tip the scales against an exceptionally experienced Latina. That is precisely what House Majority PAC has done. BOLD PAC unequivocally stands behind Andrea and her strong and historic campaign.” </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> ANDREA SALINAS </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> For over two decades, Andrea Salinas — a Latina working mom, state representative, and daughter of a Mexican immigrant and Vietnam War veteran — has delivered transformative policies that have shaped the lives of all families in Oregon. She fought to pass the nation’s most progressive paid family leave bill. She also helped pass a bill to increase the transparency of drug pricing so that families aren’t choosing between food and prescription drugs and a bill curbing carbon pollution and phasing out dirty coal. Andrea was instrumental in passing the Oregon’s Reproductive Health Equity Act, the strongest reproductive rights law in the country. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> She is running a historic campaign and was one of the highest ranking Latino elected officials in Oregon’s history, having served as Majority Whip and Assistant Majority Leader in the Oregon House of Representatives. Oregon has never had a Latino or Latina elected to Congress and the 6th Congressional District – which is 21 percent Hispanic – has the opportunity to make history this year. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Andrea is the leading woman and person of color in this race. More than 80 elected Democrats, prorgressive organizations, and community leaders have endorsed Andrea, including Congresswoman Bonamici (OR-01), CHC BOLD PAC, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Service Employees International Union (SEIU), and League of Conservation Voters Action Fund (LCV). </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> The Committee for Hispanic Causes (CHC) BOLD PAC is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

La decisión de House Majority PAC de oponerse a estos grupos plantea serias preocupaciones. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> “BOLD PAC alentó a Andrea a postularse para el Congreso porque es una líder excepcionalmente calificada que no retrocede ante ningún reto. Hemos estado con ella desde el primer día y estamos firmes en nuestro compromiso por ayudarla a ser elegida para el Congreso”, </span> </span> <span> dijo el presidente de BOLD PAC, Rubén Gallego. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> La Congresista y miembro de la junta de BOLD PAC, Sylvia García (TX-29) </span> </span> <span> <span> también </span> </span> <span> emitio </span> <span> <span> la siguiente declaración, </span> </span> <span> <span> “Como el segmento del electorado de más rápido crecimiento en los últimos 20 años, los votantes latinos representan el segundo bloque de votantes más grande del </span> </span> <span> <span>  </span> </span> <span> país por etnicidad; aquellos que dan por sentado a los votantes latinos, lo hacen bajo su propio riesgo </span> <span> <span> . </span> </span> <span> Andrea Salinas es una líder transformadora que ha pasado décadas luchando por las mujeres y las familias como defensora y funcionaria electa. Ella jugó un papel decisivo en la aprobación de la Ley de Equidad en Salud Reproductiva de Oregón, la ley de derechos reproductivos más sólida del país. Si bien hoy 145 mujeres sirven en el Congreso, seguimos representando sólo el 27 por ciento de todo el Congreso, en comparación con el 50 por ciento de la población de Estados Unidos. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> En un momento en que los derechos reproductivos están en juego, los demócratas deberían mover montañas para garantizar que hayan más mujeres en la mesa donde se toman las desiciones, especialmente mujeres de color, en lugar de intentar activamente inclinar la balanza contra una latina excepcionalmente experimentada. Eso es precisamente lo que ha hecho el PAC de la mayoría de la Cámara. BOLD PAC respalda inequívocamente a Andrea y a su contundente e histórica campaña”. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> ANDREA SALINAS </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Durante más de dos décadas, Andrea Salinas, una madre trabajadora latina, Representante estatal, e hija de una inmigrante mexicana y un veterano de la guerra de Vietnam, ha implementado políticas transformadoras que han moldeado la vida de todas las familias en Oregón. Luchó para aprobar el proyecto de ley de licencia familiar pagada más progresista del país. También ayudó a aprobar un proyecto de ley para aumentar la transparencia en los precios de los medicamentos, para que las familias no tengan que elegir entre comprar alimentos o medicinas, y un proyecto de ley que reduce la contaminación por carbono y elimina gradualmente el carbón sucio. Andrea jugó un papel decisivo en la aprobación de la Ley de Equidad en Salud Reproductiva de Oregón, la ley de derechos reproductivos más sólida del país. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Está dirigiendo una campaña histórica y fue una de las funcionarias electas latinas de más alto rango en la historia de Oregón, se desempeñó como líder y líder asistente de la mayoría en la Cámara de Representantes de su estado. Oregón nunca ha tenido un latino o una latina elegida para el sexto distrito congresional, (que tiene un 21 por ciento de hispanos) y este año tiene la oportunidad de hacer historia. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Andrea es la mujer y persona de color que liderara esta carrera congresional. Más de 80 demócratas electos, organizaciones progresistas y líderes comunitarios han respaldado a Andrea, incluida la Congresista Bonamici (OR-01), CHC BOLD PAC, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Service Employees International Union (SEIU) y League of Conservation Voters Action Fund ( LCV). </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> El Comité para Causas Hispanas (CHC) BOLD PAC es el brazo de campaña del Caucus Hispano del Congreso. Fue fundado en 2001 y se dedica a elegir latinos y latinas al Congreso. Durante los últimos 20 años, BOLD PAC ha duplicado el tamaño del Caucus Hispano del Congreso. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Si bien su misión principal se enfoca en aumentar la diversidad en el Congreso, BOLD PAC también ha desempeñado un papel integral en la creación y defensa de las mayorías demócratas en la Cámara y el Senado. En 2020, BOLD PAC respaldó a 117 candidatos a la Cámara y al Senado en todo el país y contribuyó con $1 millón directamente a sus campañas. Estos esfuerzos ayudaron a elegir y reelegir a 45 miembros del Congreso. </span> <span> <br/> </span> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> ### </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> Mon, 11 Apr 2022 23:03:22 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/chc-bold-pac-condemns-hmp-for-million-dollar-ad press release thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/chc-bold-pac-announces-congressional-endorsements-for-the-2022-midterms <div> <img src="https://irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/bold+logo+final-01.png"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> <br/> </span> <span>   </span> <span> CHC BOLD PAC Announces Congressional Endorsements for the 2022 Midterms </span> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE </span> </p> <p> <span> April 5, 2022 </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> Contact: Diana Castaneda                      </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> diana@chcboldpac.com </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Washington, D.C. </span> <span> <span> - </span> </span> <span> As part of its commitment to expanding Latino representation in Congress while defending the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives, today CHC BOLD PAC is endorsing two candidates in key districts -- Jevin Hodge (AZ-01) and Jay Chen (CA-45).  </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> “Jevin Hodge and Jay Chen are community leaders with proven records of getting results for working families and advocating for marginalized communities.

Estas mentiras desencadenaron un violento ataque al Capitolio de la nación, la muerte de varios estadounidenses y 140 policías heridos. El anuncio de 15 segundos se publicará tanto en español como en inglés. </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> “Los republicanos en el Congreso ayudaron a difundir la 'Gran Mentira' y han negado constantemente la verdadera escala de violencia en el Capitolio, comparando el asalto al edificio por parte de la muchedumbre, con una 'visita turística normal'. Un año después, todavía están ocultando la verdad sobre la insurrección, dando la espalda a nuestra democracia y apoyando a los extremistas e insurreccionistas. Es hora de líderes que no miren para otro lado y no abandonen este gran país”, </span> </span> <span> <span> dijo Rubén Gallego, presidente de BOLD PAC. </span> </span> <span> “La mejor manera de luchar contra la campaña de desinformación republicana es descubrir la verdad sobre lo que sabían, cómo estaban involucrados y responsabilizarlos por sus acciones. Este es un tema importante para BOLD PAC porque las campañas de desinformación continúan apuntando a la comunidad latina, especialmente a través del uso de medios en español”. </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> Los políticos republicanos han demostrado que están decididos a hacer cualquier cosa para mantener el poder, incluida la difusión de mentiras sobre sus propias pérdidas electorales y redoblando las tácticas de supresión de votación, dirigidas a los votantes de color.

Sin embargo, mientras los republicanos en todo el país hablan de labios para afuera sobre el importante lugar que ocupa la comunidad latina en la sociedad estadounidense, están atacando abiertamente nuestra capacidad de hacer estas valiosas contribuciones, haciendo todo lo posible para suprimir nuestros derechos al voto y engañar en su camino al poder.”  </span> </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <span> “Pero nuestra comunidad es resiliente y no nos quedaremos callados mientras vemos cómo nos roban nuestros derechos. Es por eso que BOLD PAC está luchando para: proteger a nuestra mayoría demócrata, elegir a más latinos para el Congreso, combatir las campañas de los republicanos para suprimir el voto y las campañas de desinformación dirigidas a los latinos. Al igual que para garantizar que el proceso de redistribución de distritos sea justo y equitativo, para que nuestro poder de voto y capacidad de elegir representantes diversos que reflejen nuestros valores, no sea eliminada”. </span> </p> <p> <span>   </span> </p> <p> <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/latinos-account-half-countrys-population-growth-rcna1667" target="_blank"> Los latinos han impulsado el crecimiento de la población de Los Estados Unidos durante la última década. </a> <span> <span> </span> </span> <span> <span> BOLD PAC </span> </span> <a href="https://www.rollcall.com/2021/08/09/hispanic-caucus-to-fund-redistricting-efforts-in-three-states/" target="_blank"> lanzó recientemente una estrategia </a> <span> <span> </span> </span> <span> nacional de seis cifras para garantizar que la comunidad latina tenga un lugar en la mesa, durante los procesos de redistribución de distritos en varios estados clave.

She faced homelessness at age 3. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Like other Democrats running in 2020, her pitch to voters in the 24th District around Dallas-Fort Worth focused on jobs, economics and health care. But after winning the primary and the backing of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee — support that the Congressional Black and Hispanic caucuses had urged the DCCC to give her earlier in the campaign — she faced pressure from national consultants. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Rather than talk about how struggling families would recover from the pandemic-driven economic decline, she said in a recent interview over lunch in a strip mall where all the signs were in Spanish, Valenzuela was urged to go after hypothetical moderate voters and talk about preexisting conditions in health insurance she worried many in the community couldn’t afford. She wanted to rebut “defund the police” charges because she knew her relatives wanted police protection even if they supported more transparency but was told to ignore it as the polls said the charges weren’t hurting her. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “My gut was definitely overruled by a bunch of other people who said, ‘I don’t see this. It’s not in the numbers,’” she recalled. “And I’m like, ‘I live here.’” </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Valenzela’s narrow loss, by just 1 point, to Republican Beth Van Duyne last fall — at the same time the district’s voters backed Joe Biden over President Donald Trump by 5 points — was one of many results in 2020 that has strategists in both parties asking what needs to change before next year’s midterm elections. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Democrats know that, overall, the party does better with Latino voters than Republicans, but there is more recognition that the Hispanic electorate is far from monolithic, even within Texas, and that outreach needs to start much earlier. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Republicans, meanwhile, saw candidates do better with Latinos — even flipping two South Florida seats — and want to build on that success. Trump, for example, made gains last year among Latino voters compared with his 2016 performance, especially in the Texas Rio Grande Valley and South Florida. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The parties’ renewed efforts are especially important in Texas, where the 2020 census not only led to the state gaining two seats in the House, it showed people who identified as Hispanic or Latino were responsible for more than 50 percent of the state's population growth over the past decade, much of it concentrated in the suburbs of major cities like Dallas. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> In suburban districts in North Texas, the implementation of a new strategy for the upcoming midterms is just now getting underway. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> While a majority of Americans eligible to vote said they were contacted by a campaign or a group supporting a campaign in the month before the November election, fewer Latino and Asian American citizens reported such contacts, according to the  </span> <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/01/29/most-u-s-citizens-report-a-campaign-contacted-them-in-2020-but-latinos-and-asians-less-likely-to-say-so/" target="_blank"> Pew Research Center </a> <span> . Democrats say they are working to make sure that doesn’t happen again in 2022.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The DCCC, the campaign arm of House Democrats, announced in June that it was making a “seven-figure” investment in organizing “communities of color” across Texas. It was the earliest investment of that kind in its history, the committee said. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> BOLD PAC, the political action committee of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, has already placed  </span> <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/11/us/politics/capitol-riot-ad-hispanic-republicans.html" target="_blank"> Spanish language ads </a> <span>  targeting Van Duyne for her vote in January against certifying Biden’s Pennsylvania electoral victory. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Republicans’ votes against certification and the riot that day at the Capitol is “something that is very, very shocking and traumatic to Latinos,” said Arizona Rep.  </span> <a href="https://www.rollcall.com/members/54915?utm_source=memberLinks&amp;utm_medium=memberlinks&amp;personid=54915" target="_blank"> Ruben Gallego </a> <span> , who chairs BOLD PAC. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “What they saw on Jan. 6 is something that will be etched and really imprinted on the Latino voters’ minds forever,” he said. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> But it is too early to make broad conclusions about changes at the campaign level. Several potential candidates in Texas — including Valenzuela — are waiting to announce bids, and others are not fully hiring st </span> <span> aff or putting their field operations in place until the state’s Republican-controlled Legislature draws new district lines in the fall. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Focus on the border </span> </p> <p> <span> In the meantime, much of the energy from both parties has been focused on the Texas border regions. Hundreds of thousands of migrants have crossed the southern border this year, overwhelming resources and providing Republicans with political fodder to slam the Biden administration for its policies. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Democrats are hoping to head off the GOP’s attacks on immigr </span> <span> ation and mobilize Latino voters by passing legislation in the fall that would provide a pathway to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Yet immigration is not always a top concern for Latino voters. Democratic strategist Chuck Rocha, founder of Solidarity Strategies and the president of Nuestro PAC, says Latinos in polls and focus groups he has conducted say that they are more interested in policies related to coronavirus relief, jobs and the economy, health care and education. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Rocha also stressed that Latino voters — and the issues they care about — are “not a monolith.” </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “Folks in the valley are wearing cowboy hats and cowboy boots like me, and driving a four-wheel drive pickup truck, while the Mexican in Dallas County’s riding one of these electric scooters with his hat on backward,” said Rocha, who is from Texas. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The message from the White House also matters. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Thomas A. Saenz, president and general counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, said the Biden administration was lumping Latinos in with other communities of color rather than addressing them directly. For instance, Latinos saw the highest rate of COVID-19 cases of any demographic group. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Latino or Hispanic people were 1.9 times more likely to get COVID-19 than a white person. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “Latinos, nationwide, have been hit the hardest by the pandemic. But do you ever hear leadership speak directly to Latino community on that issue? No, it’s all put in generalities, and it’s generally putting in ‘Black and Latino’ being the hardest hit communities,” Saenz said. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Not just immigration </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Republicans see opportunities to build on their 2020 successes by tapping into Latino voters’ frustrations with rising gas prices, and rising prices in general. They say Democrats underestimate how conservative some Latino voters are, particularly on social issues like abortion. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “There are pocketbook issues that resonate across the board,” said Mack Morris, deputy state director for the conservative Americans for Prosperity. An arm of the group, called the Libre Initiative, is credited with helping Republicans make inroads with battleground Latino voters over the last several years, and it recently hired a field director in Dallas. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “Immigration is an important issue philosophically, but it typically isn’t the most important issue for the Latino community. So I suspect a lot of the messaging and a lot of the policy focus on jobs in the economy is going to resonate with both suburban and nonsuburban voters,” Morris said. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> While many Republican candidates have embraced anti-immigrant messaging that may resonate poorly with many Latinos, political analysts caution Democrats against taking the Latino vote for granted. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “I certainly think that Latino voters in 2022 are going to be a swing vote, especially in suburban districts,” said Gallego, adding that may be a new consideration for many political consultants. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “In order for us to have a winning coalition as Democrats, we need to be sure we’re reaching out to those Latinos out there and so they turn out to vote, and treat them as an actual swing consistency,” Gallego said. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> But with roughly two-thirds of Latinos voting Democratic, others say the core challenge for Democratic candidates is to turn out those communities, not to convince them who to vote for. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “What is key is turnout,” MALDEF’s Saenz said. “This is where the Democrats are, in my view, making a big mistake. They are running a very serious risk of disinterest in the Latino community.” </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Alarms over missteps </span> </p> <p> <span> Valenzuela was one of several candidates and strategists who raised alarms about the Democratic Party’s approach to Latino voters in the aftermath of the 2020 elections. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> During her primary, the House’s Hispanic, Black, Asian and progressive caucuses urged the DCCC to offer Valenzuela early support, but the committee said it had a policy against intervening in primaries. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Valenzuela was eventually given a coveted spot in the DCCC’s Red to Blue program that funnels attention and resources to high-priority races, but along with it came pressure to talk about Trump and a control of language she used on Twitter. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “I got the sense that, even though there was so much more diversity in the campaigns, there really wasn’t that much listening going on,” she said. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Trying to listen </span> </p> <p> <span> Party officials and organizers agree that they need to do a better job listening to Latino voters,. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “What I keep hearing is that people don’t feel heard,” said Kristy Noble, the chairwoman of the Democratic Party in Dallas County, which encompasses parts of the 24th and the neighboring 32nd District, another potential 2022 battleground. “They feel forgotten by the Democratic Party.” </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> After she was elected to lead the county party in June, Noble organized a series of listening tours targeting various constituencies, including Latinos. The dates and locations were scrawled on a white board in her Dallas office as she spoke. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “Every single one of these communities that we’ve talked to in wanting to set this up said this hasn’t happened before,” she said. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The Texas Organizing Project is one of a handful of groups, mostly progressive, that have been working for years to mobilize Latino and Black voters in the Dallas area. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Brianna Brown, the project’s deputy director, said the group’s studies of Latino voters found they feel disconnected from the political process, partly because political parties rarely contact them until the run-up to the election. To combat that, she said the group works to identify persuadable voters throughout the cycle and contact them again and again, asking what they care about. This is a better way to draw them into the political process than showing up at their door once and trying to convince them to back a particular candidate. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “Texas is a nonvoting state, it’s not so much that it’s a red state,” Brown said. <br/> </span> </p> </div> Tue, 07 Sep 2021 23:35:51 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/as-population-grows-so-does-debate-on-how-to-reach-latino-voters-in-22-midterms news thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/copy-of-hispanic-caucus-to-fund-redistricting-efforts-in-three-states <div> <img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/6.jpeg"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> <span> Original Article: </span> </span> <a href="https://www.rollcall.com/2021/08/09/hispanic-caucus-to-fund-redistricting-efforts-in-three-states/" target="_blank"> Roll Call. </a> <span> <span> 08/09/21 </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> A group dedicated to increasing Hispanic representation in Congress has joined the pending battle over new districts that will be drawn this fall, with the announcement Monday of a “six figure investment” in Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The money, from CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, will go to organizations focused on training, educating and organizing Latino communities to fight for fair and representative maps, according to a news release provided exclusively to CQ Roll Call.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “Especially in key states where there has been tremendous growth in the Latino population, our goal is that we are empowering Latino communities on the ground to make sure that the maps are fair and representative,” said BOLD PAC Executive Director Victoria McGroary. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The investment comes days before the redistricting process — delayed for months by the coronavirus pandemic — is set to start in earnest with the release Thursday of detailed population data from the 2020 census. That data will be used to redraw district lines to reflect population changes in the last 10 years.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The stakes are particularly high for Latinos, who turned out in record numbers in 2020 but are still underrepresented in Congress. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “Redistricting will dictate how Latino communities are represented in the halls of Congress for the next decade,” Arizona Democratic Rep.  </span> <a href="https://www.rollcall.com/members/54915?utm_source=memberLinks&amp;utm_medium=memberlinks&amp;personid=54915" target="_blank"> Ruben Gallego </a> <span> , the BOLD PAC chairman, said in a statement. He said the effort would work to prevent the voting power of Latinos from being “diluted.” </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <span> Ensuring that new districts are drawn to take into account where Latino communities are concentrated and projected to grow is crucial to ensuring both fair representation in Congress and equitable distribution of federal money, activists say.  </span> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> They also worry that Latino communities are at an added disadvantage because of efforts during the Trump administration to put a citizenship question on the census, which  </span> <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/most-latinos-worry-trump-administration-could-use-census-against-them-n1134026" target="_blank"> polls showed </a> <span>  could have discouraged Latinos from responding to the population survey.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The BOLD PAC money will go to organizations that are already established in the three states, McGroary said. The PAC </span> <a href="https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00365536/" target="_blank">  had $5.3 million on June 30 </a> <span>  after raising almost $3.4 million in the first six months of this year, $1.7 million of that in donations of $200 or less. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The Colorado recipient, the Colorado Organization for Latina Opportunity and Reproductive Rights (COLOR), has been training people in Latino communities to participate in the state’s redistricting process. Colorado, which will  </span> <a href="https://www.rollcall.com/2021/04/26/census-california-northeast-midwest-lose-house-seats/" target="_blank"> get an eighth House seat </a> <span>  in the next Congress, is using an  </span> <a href="https://www.rollcall.com/2021/06/24/new-colorado-map-erases-perlmutters-democratic-edge/" target="_blank"> independent redistricting commission </a> <span>  to draw its map for the first time this year.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> That commission has already started holding hearings throughout the state on preliminary maps that will be revised based on community input and the latest census data. COLOR volunteers wrote letters to the commission to ensure that hearings would take place in communities with large Latino populations. The group is also training volunteers to provide testimony, Executive Director Dusti Garrison said.  </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “This is going to impact our state and our country for years to come,” she said. “If this process isn't done the right way, if the community is not heard or engaged in this process, we are missing the boat again.” <br/> </span> </p> </div> Tue, 07 Sep 2021 20:33:32 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/copy-of-hispanic-caucus-to-fund-redistricting-efforts-in-three-states news thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/copy-of-caucus-hispano-enfoca-estrategia-en-la-distribucion-de-distritos-electorales <div> <img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/3.webp"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> <span> Original Article: </span> </span> <a href="https://www.efe.com/efe/america/ame-hispanos/caucus-hispano-enfoca-estrategia-en-la-distribucion-de-distritos-electorales/20000034-4604886" target="_blank"> EFE News. </a> <span> <span> 08/09/21 </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> El Caucus Hispano en el Congreso (CHC) anunció este lunes una estrategia para asegurar que los latinos estén involucrados y representados en la redistribución de los distritos electorales sobre la base del Censo 2020. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> "La redistribución de distritos dictará en que medida las comunidades latinas estarán representadas en el Congreso en la próxima década", dijo Rubén Gallego, presidente de Bold Pac, la agencia de campañas de CHC. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> El censo se realiza en Estados Unidos, por mandato constitucional, cada diez años y sus resultados determinan la distribución de la representación política en el Congreso y el Colegio Electoral, y de miles de millones de dólares en programas federales de vivienda, salud, educación, infrestructura y prestaciones sociales. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> "La campaña ayudará a luchar por un proceso de redistribución de distritos que sea justo de forma que el poder del voto latino, y que su capacidad para elegir representantes que expresen sus valores no se diluya", añadió Gallego. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> Bold Pac ha trabajado en las últimas dos décadas para "aumentar la representación latina en el Congreso", señaló el grupo. "Una estrategia nacional de redistribución de distritos realzará estos esfuerzos". </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> El Censo 2020, afectado por la pandemia de la covid-19, estuvo entreverado asimismo por dos esfuerzos del gobierno del ex presidente Donald Trump, que los activistas hispanos vieron como intentos por soslayar la cuenta de inmigrantes. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> En 2019, el gobierno de Trump insistió en incluir en los cuestionarios del censo una pregunta sobre la ciudadanía de los empadronados.

Los republicanos han demostrado que están decididos a hacer cualquier cosa para retener el poder, incluso socavar nuestra democracia al difundir la ‘Gran Mentira’ y redoblar las tácticas de supresión de votantes dirigidas a los electores de color,” dijo Gallego. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Por su parte la representante Sylvia García, de Texas, dijo que “el año pasado, los votantes de todo el país enfrentaron tácticas generalizadas de supresión de voto para privar a los ciudadanos, especialmente a los latinos, del acto más sagrado de la democracia: el ejercicio del derecho al voto”. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “Desafortunadamente, los recientes intentos de reprimir nuestros votos nos muestran el momento crítico en el que nos encontramos y la necesidad de elegir líderes latinos”, añadió. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> </div> Tue, 07 Sep 2021 20:08:39 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/caucus-hispano-sale-en-defensa-del-derecho-al-voto-de-comunidades-de-color news thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/hispanic-democrats-launch-new-voter-rights-initiative <div> <img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/3.webp"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> <span> Original Article: </span> </span> <a href="https://thehill.com/latino/559706-hispanic-democrats-launch-new-voter-rights-initiative" target="_blank"> The Hill. </a> <span> <span> 06/23/21 </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> The Hispanic Caucus's campaign arm, Bold PAC, launched a new committee Wednesday to protect voting rights amid national debate on universal access to voting. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The new political action committee, Elect Diverse Democrats, will expand Bold PAC's reach from its traditional role of recruiting and supporting candidates to grow the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) to put funding into direct action campaigns and litigation on voting rights. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> "While Bold PAC is [funded by] donors interested in electing Latinos, this one is interested in people who [prioritize] access to the ballot," Bold PAC Chairman Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) told The Hill. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> The new initiative is launching the day after a GOP Senate filibuster blocked the Democrats' voting rights legislation, dubbed the "For The People Act." </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> With federal legislation off the table for the moment, Democrats will seek to push back on state and local actions they see as prohibiting access to voting. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Democrats see the Senate defeat as a starting point for the debate on voting rights, highlighting how GOP-controlled state legislatures have passed voting restrictions they say are necessary for election security. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> “No matter how hard they tried, Republicans couldn't change the outcome of the presidential election. So now they’re trying to make it as difficult as possible for communities of color to vote. We must stand against them and everyone who seeks to impose policies that will suppress votes and threaten our democracy. That’s what this new effort will do," said Rep. Verónica Escobar (D-Texas) in a statement. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Minority communities are particularly sensitive to actions like voter roll purges, closure of polling stations, partisan gerrymandering, stringent ID requirements and limitations on early and absentee voting. Many of these measures are present in state Republican election reform proposals. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> "The realization is that voting rights are consistently under attack and we need a standing mechanism to protect against that," said Gallego. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Historically, Hispanic communities have been dogged with lower registration rates, but that trend has begun to recede, in large part because of outreach programs and voter education campaigns. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> But those efforts can be expensive, and grassroots organizations are often not able to reach the communities most affected by a lack of access to easy voting. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> "Fair elections and fair redistricting create a more representative democracy. And that’s something all Americans should be fighting for," said Rep. Jimmy Gómez (D-Calif.). </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Gallego added that the funds raised by Elect Diverse Democrats will be used for everything from training local volunteers, to litigation in redistricting efforts or lawsuits against voter suppression. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> "Our focus is at the state and local level, but really anywhere where we have the opportunity to affect outcomes," said Gallego. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> Still, Rep. Sylvia García (D-Texas) said Latinos are particularly vulnerable to voter suppression. </span> </p> <p> <br/> </p> <p> <span> "Unfortunately, recent attempts to suppress our votes show us the critical moment we are in and the need to elect Latino leaders. Elect Diverse Democrats will protect and continue building the political power of our Latino communities,” Garcia said. <br/> </span> </p> </div> Tue, 07 Sep 2021 19:58:50 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/hispanic-democrats-launch-new-voter-rights-initiative news thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/hispanic-democrats-run-ads-targeting-four-house-republicans-over-their-jan-6-votes <div> <img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/1.webp"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <p> <span> <span> Original Article: </span> </span> <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/11/us/politics/capitol-riot-ad-hispanic-republicans.html" target="_blank"> The New York Times. </a> <span> <span> 05/11/21 </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> The .The political action committee of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus is releasing bilingual advertisements targeting four Republicans in Congress over their support for former President Donald J.

It is dedicated to protecting the voting rights of communities of color across the U.S. and to fighting for a fair and representative congressional delegation and state legislatures and is registered with the FEC. </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> “Across the country, communities of color face a Republican effort to suppress their right to vote.

Republicans have proven that they are determined to do anything to hold power -- including undermining our democracy by spreading the “Big Lie” and doubling down on voter suppression tactics that target voters of color. That’s why Elect Diverse Democrats will advocate for fair elections and fair redistricting so our nation can elect diverse representatives who reflect the values and experiences of all Americans, and not just a select few communities.” </span> </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> “Last year, voters nationwide faced widespread voter‐suppression tactics to deprive citizens, especially Latinos, of democracy’s most sacred act—exercising one’s right to vote.

El cual está dedicado a proteger los derechos al voto de las comunidades de color en los Estados Unidos y a luchar por una delegación del Congreso y legislaturas estatales justas y representativas. El comité está registrado ante la Comisión Federal de Elecciones (FEC). </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> “En todo el país, las comunidades de color enfrentan un esfuerzo republicano para suprimir su derecho al voto. Elect Diverse Democrats se dedica a proteger este derecho fundamental y hacer responsables a todos aquellos que están decididos a silenciar sus voces”, </span> </span> <span> <span> dijo el Presidente de BOLD PAC, Rubén Gallego. </span> </span> <span> “En 2020, a pesar de la pandemia, las comunidades de color mostraron su poder y votaron en cifras récord. Los republicanos han demostrado que están decididos a hacer cualquier cosa para retener el poder, incluso socavar nuestra democracia al difundir la “Gran Mentira” y redoblar las tácticas de supresión de votantes, dirigidas a los electores de color. Es por eso que Elect Diverse Democrats abogará por elecciones y una redistribución de los distritos justas, para que nuestra nación pueda elegir representantes diversos que reflejen los valores y experiencias de todos los estadounidenses y no solo de unas pocas comunidades". </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> “El año pasado, los votantes de todo el país enfrentaron tácticas generalizadas de supresión de voto, para privar a los ciudadanos especialmente a los latinos, del acto más sagrado de la democracia: el ejercicio del derecho al voto. Desafortunadamente, los recientes intentos de reprimir nuestros votos, nos muestran el momento crítico en el que nos encontramos y la necesidad de elegir líderes latinos. Elect Diverse Democrats protegerá y continuará construyendo el poder político de nuestras comunidades latinas”, </span> </span> <span> dijo la miembro de BOLD PAC, Congresista Sylvia R. García (TX-29). </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> “No importa cuanto lo intentaron, los republicanos no pudieron cambiar el resultado de las elecciones presidenciales. Así que ahora están tratando de hacer que el votar, sea lo más difícil posible para las comunidades de color. Debemos enfrentarnos a ellos y a todos los que buscan imponer políticas que repriman los votos y amenacen nuestra democracia. Eso es lo que hará este nuevo esfuerzo”, </span> </span> <span> dijo la miembro del BOLD PAC, Congresista Verónica Escobar (TX-16). </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> <span> “Los republicanos están trabajando para hacer que votar sea aún más difícil, impulsando una legislación diseñada para evitar que las comunidades de color ejerzan su derecho al voto, especialmente en los distritos y los estados purpura. Las elecciones y la redistribución de los distritos de una manera justa, crean una democracia más representativa. Y eso es algo por lo que todos los estadounidenses deberían luchar”, </span> </span> <span> dijo el miembro de BOLD PAC, Congresista Jimmy Gomez (CA-34). </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> ### </span> </p> <p> <span> <br/> </span> </p> <p> <span> CHC BOLD PAC, el brazo de campaña del Caucus Hispano, fue fundado en 2001 para aumentar la representación latina en el Congreso.

Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.). </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Bold PAC — the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) — invested $425,000 in an ad campaign for Teresa Leger Fernández, who on June 2 will face off in a primary against six other Democrats in the race for New Mexico's 3rd District. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> The ad campaign represents a substantial portion of the $2.5 million the committee has so far allocated to such expenditures this cycle. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Bold PAC Chairman Rep. Tony Cárdenas (D-Calif.) told The Hill that supporting candidates like Leger Fernández "is the reason why Bold PAC exists." </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> "It's a dream come true to see us be able to support these amazing American citizens who happen to be Latinos or Latinas," said Cárdenas. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Cárdenas said candidates like Leger Fernández, who was born and raised in the district and returned to live there after completing her education at Yale and Stanford, were often overlooked before the CHC built up its campaign arm. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> "Unfortunately the Latino community didn't have the resources to stand with and support these amazing Latino and Latina candidates," said Cárdenas. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Bold PAC was founded in 2001, but has grown substantially under Cárdenas and his predecessor, Luján, whose seat Leger Fernández is competing for. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Luján is seen as the front-runner in the race to fill retiring Sen. Tom Udall's (D) seat. Luján headed Bold PAC and was chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC). He also serves as assistant Speaker of the House. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> The race for Luján's seat will pit Leger Fernández against Valerie Plame, a nationally-known progressive and former CIA agent. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Plame and Leger Fernández are leading the fundraising race in what's turned out to be a crowded and expensive primary for the House seat. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Since its creation in 1982, New Mexico's 3rd District has been a launching pad for its Democratic occupants. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson occupied the seat from 1983 to 1997, when he went on to become United Nations ambassador, a member of former President Clinton's Cabinet, governor and presidential candidate in 2008. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Udall also held the seat before moving on to the Senate. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Cárdenas said he hopes to see Leger Fernández fill the post because she knows the local community. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> "These are things you do not for money, but when you care about people who have suffered abuse and neglect," said Cárdenas. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Leger, a lawyer, has worked in tribal affairs and is a vice chair of the Mexican American Legal Defense Fund (MALDEF), a civil rights organization. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Leger Fernández was endorsed Thursday by <a href="https://thehill.com/people/debra-haaland" target="_blank"> Rep. Deb Haaland </a> (D-N.M.), one of the first two Native American women elected to Congress. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Cárdenas said candidates like Plame, who moved to Santa Fe in 2006 after being publicly outed as a CIA agent, undermine representation of minority communities. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> "Valerie is a perfect example of someone who's better known outside the district," he said. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> The Plame campaign did not return a request for comment on this story. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> "This has been the politics forever. Communities of color, the poor side of town, what have you, tend to have to struggle to represent itself with people from the community because too many opportunists [move in]," said Cárdenas. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> "It's our job to support amazing candidates, but it's also our job to enlist the attention of our colleagues who otherwise wouldn't pay attention to these great candidates," he added. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> ### </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> <br/> </div> </div> Mon, 18 May 2020 14:56:42 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/icymi-hispanic-caucus-comes-out-strong-for-teresa-leger-fernandez-in-new-mexico-s-3rd-cd-primary-race thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/chc-bold-pac-endorses-kristine-reeves-in-wa-10 press release <div> <img src="https://irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/bold+logo+final-01.png"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <div> <span> <br/> </span> </div> <div> <font color="#044b81"> <span> <b> BOLD PAC Endorses Kristine Reeves in WA-10 </b> </span> </font> </div> <div> <font color="#044b81"> <span> <b> <br/> </b> </span> </font> </div> <div> <font> <b> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  </b> </font> </div> <div> <font> May 8th, 2020 </font> </div> <div> <font> Contact: Jazmin Vargas </font> </div> <div> <font> jazmin@chcboldpac.com </font> </div> <div> <span>   </span> <br/> </div> <div> Washington, D.C. - Today, CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, announced its endorsement of Kristine Reeves in Washington’s 10th Congressional District.

She will fight hard to ensure Washington families and children are guaranteed these crucial rights and have the opportunity to get ahead,” said CHC BOLD PAC Board Member, Linda Sánchez. “Kristine is the kind of leader Washington needs and she is someone working families in her state can count on, especially during these uncertain times. I’m proud BOLD PAC is standing with Kristine in her race for Congress. We are looking forward to having her as our colleague next Congress." </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Democrat Kristine Reeve is building a grassroots campaign in Washington’s 10th Congressional District race.

Throughout her career and tenure as Assemblywoman, Christy has worked to secure access to quality health care and education for all California families, including the millions of Latinos who call California home. In Congress, we are confident Christy will continue to champion the priorities of hardworking families by fighting to reduce the cost of health care, protecting Social Security and Medicare, and bringing economic opportunities to the district.

Republicans are now <a href="https://www.nrcc.org/2019/05/22/disgraced-former-air-force-officer-kicks-off-second-failed-campaign/" target="_blank"> primed </a> to make Olson's corruption allegations during her time in the military a top issue for voters in the general election.  </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> According to the <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2020/04/23/kim-olson-air-force-exit-congress/" target="_blank"> Tribune </a> , while on active duty as one of the most powerful figures in Iraq “ ...Olson established a U.S. outpost of the South Africans’ security firm, Meteoric, and allegedly made herself the director. Within months, the Pentagon caught wind of the arrangement and conducted an investigation that accused her of improperly helping Meteoric win lucrative government contracts.” </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Also in the article, Common Defense, a progressive veterans group that has backed Olson’s opponent, Democrat Candace Valenzuela lays out their support of Valenzuela. "As veterans, we support elected officials who will fight for us, not themselves. We won’t give someone a rubber stamp just because they’re a fellow veteran, we vote for the candidate who represents the same values of integrity and character we hold dear. The person in this race who represents those values is Candace Valenzuela,” explained Common Defense's political director, Alexander McCoy. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div>   </div> <div> In case you missed it… </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Kim Olson’s departure from the Air Force hasn’t been a political liability. Will that change in 2020? </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Patrick Svitek </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2020/04/23/kim-olson-air-force-exit-congress/"> https://www.texastribune.org/2020/04/23/kim-olson-air-force-exit-congress/ </a> </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> In Kim Olson's still relatively young political career, her opponents have mostly steered clear of making a major issue out of the contracting scandal that led to her retirement from the Air Force in 2005. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Texas' swashbuckling agriculture commissioner, <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/directory/sid-miller/" target="_blank"> Sid Miller </a> , barely brought it up when she ran a surprisingly close race against him in 2018. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> This year, she advanced in the first round of a crowded, mostly cordial Democratic U.S. House primary that saw little airing of the scandal. Her runoff opponent, Candace Valenzuela, hasn't brought it up yet. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> However, as she approaches the July runoff, Olson is poised to potentially confront the issue in a way that she has not had to before. Some Valenzuela supporters are starting to go public with concerns about her military career — and whether it would be too much of a general-election liability in a district that national Democrats are hoping to flip. </div> <div> All the while, national Republicans have kept up a drumbeat suggesting that hounding her as a "war profiteer" would be central to their November playbook in the district. She rejects that term, calling it plainly inaccurate, but acknowledges the attacks are not going away anytime soon — and argues that she is well-prepared to fend them off. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> [...] </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Olson's case came to light in a 2006 <a href="https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2006-apr-19-na-meteoric19-story.html" target="_blank"> Los Angeles Times story </a> , and she discusses it at length in a memoir she published later that year, “Iraq and Back: Inside the War to Win the Peace.” During her 2018 bid for agriculture commissioner, it came up mainly in the form of an <a href="https://www.statesman.com/news/20180721/how-texas-democrat-kim-olsons-military-career-crashed-in-iraq" target="_blank"> Austin American-Statesman story </a> . </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> The issue dates back to Olson’s time in Iraq in the early 2000s, when she served as the No. 2 to Gen. Jay Garner as he led the American rebuilding effort there. Instead of providing Garner's team with military protection, the Department of Defense hired a group of South African bodyguards that Garner and Olson later said they came to greatly appreciate. When Garner was replaced several months later, he said he asked Olson to find a way to make sure the South Africans got paid for their work.  </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Along the way, Olson established a U.S. outpost of the South Africans' security firm, Meteoric, and allegedly made herself the director. Within months, the Pentagon caught wind of the arrangement and conducted an investigation that accused her of improperly helping Meteoric win lucrative government contracts. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Olson denied the allegations and said she never personally profited from the Meteoric contracts. She eventually received a nonjudicial punishment known as an Article 15. She agreed to plead guilty to lesser charges, including creating the appearance of a conflict of interest, and received a formal reprimand and $3,500 fine. She was permitted to retire with an honorable discharge and no reduction in rank. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> [...] </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Democrats, both those who have taken sides in the runoff and those who have not, are keeping an eye on how Olson navigates the re-emergence of the issue. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> "There’s no question that the problem she had ... is a bump in the road politically and she’s got to get over that without losing a wheel," said Matt Angle, a Democratic strategist who runs the Lone Star Project, which has not endorsed in the race. "Nobody should think that it’s just a non-issue." </div> <div> [...] </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Olson and Valenzuela are competing for their party's nomination to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Kenny Marchant, R-Coppell. The seat is among seven this cycle in Texas that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is aiming to flip. Beth Van Duyne, the former U.S. housing official and Irving mayor, has already secured the Republican nomination for the seat. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> That could be the difference between this cycle and Olson's 2018 race against Miller. Two years ago, she was the clear underdog. Now Olson is running in a national battleground that could easily draw over $1 million in attack ad spending once the general election is set. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> "Our polling data always showed that Commissioner Miller enjoyed a comfortable lead in the race and therefore we saw no need to spend campaign dollars on paid media on this issue," Miller's political consultant, Todd Smith, wrote in an email. "We were hopeful that the mainstream media would find her military record as disturbing as we did and would do their jobs in bringing this matter to light." </div> <div> [...] </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Valenzuela's campaign had no comment for this story. But one of her recent endorsers in the runoff, a progressive veterans group called Common Defense, is sounding the alarm about Olson, saying she "used her position of power in the military to steer $3 million to South African bodyguards, then went into business with them." Olson's supporters say that claim was not substantiated by the Pentagon investigation. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Common Defense's political director, Alexander McCoy, said in a statement: "As veterans, we support elected officials who will fight for us, not themselves. We won’t give someone a rubber stamp just because they’re a fellow veteran, we vote for the candidate who represents the same values of integrity and character we hold dear. The person in this race who represents those values is Candace Valenzuela." </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> McCoy was harsher in an interview, saying Olson "displayed incredibly poor judgment" in Iraq as well as a "selfishness and lack of integrity." </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> [...] </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> While the intraparty criticism of Olson may be limited so far, Republicans have hammered the line of attack since Olson's campaign began. Hours after she launched her campaign last year, the National Republican Congressional Committee welcomed her to the race with a statement invoking the contracting controversy. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> "If Democrats are foolish enough to nominate disgraced war profiteer Kim Olson, she’ll be rejected in November as Texans learn more about the criminal enterprise she ran at the expense of our troops in Iraq," NRCC spokesman Bob Salera said in a statement for this story. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Click <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2020/04/23/kim-olson-air-force-exit-congress/" target="_blank"> HERE </a> for the full story. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> ### </div> <div> <a href="https://www.boldpac.com/" target="_blank"> CHC BOLD PAC </a> , the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus started in 2001 to help increase the representation of Latinos in Congress.

In addition to BOLD PAC’s support, she has earned the endorsements of the Congressional Black Caucus PAC, the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC, EMILY’s List, the Texas AFL-CIO, Texas State Representative Julie Johnson, and former HUD Secretary, Julián Castro.

We think she's a great fit for that district. And she made it into the runoff and we feel strongly that she's going to come out victorious in the second step of this process," said Rep. Tony Cárdenas (D-Calif.), the chairman of Bold PAC. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Many of <a href="https://thehill.com/latino/467717-hispanic-caucus-all-in-with-latina-in-crowded-texas-primary" target="_blank"> Valenzuela's endorsers </a> , including Bold PAC and EMILY's List, took the unusual step of betting on her ahead of the primary — six Democrats were competing for the nomination — and doubling down on her ahead of the runoff against Olson. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> "We think Candace is the best candidate to carry that seat in the fall," said Benjamin Ray, a spokesman for Emily's List. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> The two candidates are progressive women who got their political start as school board members, running in a once-ruby red suburban district, but that's where their similarities end. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> In 2018, Olson lost a statewide race to become Texas agriculture commissioner against Republican Sid Miller in a campaign that dragged out her role in an Iraq war-profiteering scandal in 2016. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Following a Pentagon investigation, <a href="https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2006-apr-19-na-meteoric19-story.html" target="_blank"> Olson was allowed to keep her rank </a> and an honorable discharge, but took a deal pleading guilty to lesser charges. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Cárdenas said Valenzuela is "a perfect fit" for the district, and warned Republicans are eager to once again take a stab at Olson's past. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> "Whoever wins this primary is gonna have to run against the Republicans. When I say it's about Republicans, it's because this is a fight where the party, the state party, etc., is going to get involved. So you're not just running against a person, you're running against the Republican Party," said Cárdenas. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> "One of the reasons why people haven't gotten negative on Candace is because she's a good, wholesome person who is a mom, a wife, an energetic young woman who's ready to represent that district and she's represented it already on the school board," he added. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Still, Valenzuela remains an underdog in the race. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Olson's campaign did not release their first quarter fundraising numbers, but campaign manager Rachel Perry touted Olson's first-place standing in the March primary. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> "Colonel Olson won the primary by 11 points, won the two largest counties, and won 65 percent of all precincts in the district. Our fundraising, grassroots energy, and organizing efforts are stronger than ever and we are confident that our continued momentum will propel Colonel Olson to another victory in the runoff," Perry said. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Perry's counterpart in the Valenzuela campaign, Geoff Simpson, said the first quarter fundraising figures are important, but said Valenzuela has an advantage in reaching the district's diverse population. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> "The key to it is we're putting together a diverse coalition of support, which is what you need to win this minority-majority district," said Simpson. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> "What people miss about this district, it is similar to other suburban districts, but this district is majority minority, it's a very diverse district and we need somebody who's going to excite the very diverse set of voters," he added </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> And like campaigns across the country, the fight for the 24th District of Texas has run into an unpredictable obstacle in the coronavirus pandemic. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Simpson said Valenzuela has taken to almost-daily Facebook live appearances, in the absence of in-person meetings with constituents, a duty that must now be juggled with in-house child care. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Valenzuela said the crisis has shown the challenges faced by everyday working families. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> “What the past few weeks have shown is that now more than ever we need empathetic leaders, who will put Texan families first and lower health care costs, raise wages and ensure a good education for every child," said Valenzuela. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> "We need leaders who care about doing the work to serve the working-class people who make our community strong, and not who gets the credit. I’m proud of the coalition we’re building, and I’ll be honored to work as hard for them in Washington as they do every day in Texas,” she added. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> ### </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> <br/> </div> </div> Mon, 06 Apr 2020 20:17:55 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/icymi-candace-valenzuela-picks-up-steam-in-tx-24-house-race press release thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/bold-pac-announces-endorsement-of-non-latino-candidates <div> <img src="https://irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/bold+logo+final-01.png"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> <div> <b> <span> BOLD PAC Announces Endorsement of Non-Latino Candidates </span> </b> </div> <div> <b> <i>   </i> </b> <br/> </div> <div> <span> <br/> </span> </div> <div> <span> <font> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  </font> </span> </div> <div> <span> March 24, 2020 </span> </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Washington, D.C. - Today, BOLD PAC in its commitment to expanding the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives announced the endorsements of six Non-Latino women candidates in districts across the country.

"Latino voters are the largest minority voting bloc and will be the path for Democrats to win in swing states across the country. We are proud to bring this debate to Phoenix, the backyard of Hispanic Caucus Members and Arizonans, Rep. Ruben Gallego and Rep. Raul Grijalva.

Currently, 23 local nurses are registered.

It’s not a judicial warrant.” </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> MacCormack said he hopes the incident sheds light on the benefits of people knowing their constitutional rights — not just immigrants. He said it’s important to note his passengers also exercised their rights; they did not provide identification, open the door or respond to questions directed toward them — all things the sanctuary teaches as part of their “know your rights” training. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> The group’s website features instructions and learning materials in English and Spanish for those who may find themselves in similar situations. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> “I believe that the more people who exercise their rights, the stronger those rights become, and the less easily they’re violated by authorities,” MacCormack said. “Especially in a time of aggressive enforcement of immigration laws — unjust immigration laws, in my eyes.” </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> For original article: <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/03/29/an-activist-used-legal-argument-stop-an-ice-arrest-he-says-others-should-do-same/?utm_term=.6ee5e1866e75" target="_blank"> https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/03/29/an-activist-used-legal-argument-stop-an-ice-arrest-he-says-others-should-do-same/?utm_term=.6ee5e1866e75 </a> </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> For video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z7HkHVP6oU" target="_blank"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z7HkHVP6oU </a> </div> </div> Fri, 29 Mar 2019 05:00:00 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/wp-an-activist-used-a-legal-argument-to-stop-an-ice-arrest-he-says-others-should-do-the-same thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/buzzfeed-trumps-presidency-is-helping-latino-democrats-build-a-fundraising-powerhouse <div> <img src="https://irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/DACA_0-e1524259050602.jpg"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> A national Latino campaign group has emerged for the first time as a Washington fundraising powerhouse, a sign both of the growing institutional power of Latino voters and of the massive opposition to President Donald Trump. Bold PAC, the campaign arm for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, has traditionally raised less than $1 million during entire two-year campaign cycles, and contributed to roughly a dozen candidates each time. But since Trump began his presidential run, the group has seen its fundraising soar. The PAC raised $6.1 million during the 2016 election cycle, more than a sixfold increase from what it raised for 2014. <div> <br/> </div> <div> “By professionalizing ourselves, we will be able to stop missing opportunities,” Cárdenas told BuzzFeed News on Tuesday. “One of the biggest reasons why organizations never live up to their hopes and dreams is because they don’t have the resources. They don’t dedicate the resources to be able to meet the needs that they’ve dedicated themselves to do.” </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> In the primaries, Bold PAC has been endorsing candidates like Sylvia Garcia, a Texas state senator who won the primary to replace retiring Rep. Gene Green in a heavily Democratic district on Tuesday. Garcia would be the first Latina elected to Congress from Texas. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Beyond just getting Latinos elected, a lot of the bigger-picture focus has been on winning back the House for Democrats, including supporting non-Latino candidates. “We’re looking to be team players and to help elect good people all over the country, so we can take back the majority,” Sanchez said. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> For original article: <a href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/lissandravilla/latino-democrats-are-building-a-fundraising-powerhouse-for?" target="_blank"> https://www.buzzfeed.com/lissandravilla/latino-democrats-are-building-a-fundraising-powerhouse-for? </a> </div> </div> Fri, 20 Apr 2018 05:00:00 GMT https://www.boldpac.com/buzzfeed-trumps-presidency-is-helping-latino-democrats-build-a-fundraising-powerhouse thumbnail main image https://www.boldpac.com/the-hill-house-hispanic-pac-breaks-fundraising-record <div> <img src="https://irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/ad4c61ff/dms3rep/multi/tonycardenas2015getty.jpg"/> </div> <div data-rss-type="text"> The campaign arm for Hispanic Democrats broke its fundraising record in the first quarter of 2017 amid conflict with the Trump administration over immigration reform and healthcare. <div> <br/> </div> <div> Bold PAC, which is affiliated with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus’s (CHC), raised more than $2 million between January and March, roughly a third of the $6.12 million it raised over the entire 2016 campaign cycle. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Rep.
