An important conversation about Latino political representation in LA. As the electorate evolves, political leaders must consider whether traditional coalitions are keeping pace with voters, particularly working-class Latinos focused on affordability and economic opportunity.
MY LATEST @latimes COLUMNA: Raman’s victory was a resounding rebuke to L.A.’s Latino political establishment. RT, porfas!

Latino voters are reshaping the political landscape.
The lesson for both parties is clear: showing up matters, but understanding the economic priorities of Latino working families matters even more.
Historic gains in Latino political representation.
We hope this progress translates into greater economic opportunity, mobility, and prosperity for Latino working families across the country!
The election is over, but the economic concerns driving Latino voters remain.
LWCP's @madrid_mike and pollster @davidbinder discuss findings from our August polling on Latino voters and the cost of living with LAist's AirTalk.

Meet California's first Latino governor. No, not Xavier Becerra latimes.com/california/story…

The California Dream is universal. It’s non-negotiable. And yes, it is undeportable.
To everyone who has been made to feel afraid: there’s a new sheriff in town, and he’s got a law degree and a union card.

The Hispanic vote is vastly divided by national origin. Just look at Florida’s 50%+ Hispanic precincts by largest origin:
Cuban: 🔴 Moody +7.5
South American: 🔵 Nixon +11.9
Mixed or other Hispanic: 🔵 Nixon +23.0
Puerto Rican: 🔵 Nixon +33.1

It's Election Day!

Today is Election Day. 🗳️
Our research found that 82% of California Latino voters surveyed believe state policies are driving up prices.
Affordability. Good-paying jobs. Economic opportunity.
These priorities matter today—and every day after.

Not sure who wins Texas but either way I am pretty sure that it will come down to the Latino vote
#TexasSenate
NYT: James Talarico’s internals are within the margin of error.
Some recent public surveys show Talarico either tied with Paxton or within the margin of error with a 2-point lead.
The candidate’s internal polls match those tighter surveys, people close to Talarico said, and may not be fully capturing the sentiments of rural conservative voters who support Trump.

You can't rebuild the middle class without good-paying jobs.
Hard work should be a pathway to economic security. But California's education and workforce systems aren't keeping pace.
It's time to rethink the system—not just ask workers to adapt to it.

The California Dream isn't delivering for everyone.
Expanding economic opportunity takes more than promises. It requires accountability, leadership, and action.
The California Dream won't rebuild itself. @madrid_mike

The Latino vote will be one of the big stories in Tuesdays election.
You’re gonna hear that every election cycle for the next thirty years.
It’s about time.
A powerful moment for Latino civic participation—and a reminder of Dolores Huerta's lifelong work to ensure our communities have a voice.
The Latino electorate is growing in influence. Understanding its priorities and aspirations has never been more important.
The enormous surge of Hispanic/Latino voters all across the country is one of the more remarkable things I’ve seen in all my years in politics.
I am sorry Dolores Huerta will not be here to see all this.
