In an election cycle expected to have record Hispanic turnout, a conservative Hispanic group is endorsing three incumbent Republican senators facing high-profile reelection battles
.
All of the senators voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act ,which has seen more buy-ins during the coronavirus pandemic as workers who have lost jobs no longer have access to employer-based insurance. The state governments in Texas and North Carolina have not expanded Medicaid, which would provide insurance to millions whose incomes don't currently qualify them for Medicaid.
The LIBRE Initiative was founded in 2011 as a conservative PAC, but has strayed from the base on a few issues. The group has supported giving permanent status to Dreamers and has also criticized the administration's tariffs on China. In the Texas primaries, the initiative endorsed incumbent U.S. Representative Henry Cuellar, a Democrat to help fend off his progressive challenger, Jessica Cisneros.
Analysis from Univision released in 2019 showed Hispanic voters played a decisive role in the 2018 midterms, with turnout on average doubling between 2014 and 2018 in seven states, including Colorado and North Carolina. In Colorado, all political parties saw higher Hispanic turnout with the"Independent/Other" category having the highest at 74%. The turnout in North Carolina skewed more Democratic.
