Latino voters in battleground states such as Florida, Texas and Arizona can move the needle in tight races that will determine what party controls Congress and top state offices.
"It's clear that the cost of living and inflation is the most important issue for Latino voters — that has not changed at all" in the weeks of polling, said Arturo Vargas, NALEO's executive director.
In Florida, César Grajales, public affairs director at the Libre Initiative, a conservative group, has been canvassing in Florida’s 27th Congressional District, which is majority Latino. In that race, the Republican incumbent, Maria Salazar,"What we hear from people is that they’re worried about the economy," Grajales said."Inflation is really hurting everybody.”
On abortion, Democratic candidates are hammering Republicans on the rise in bans and restrictions following the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade in June. But Luke Macías, a conservative political consultant in San Antonio, said the issue has energized the Democratic base, “but I don’t see it moving swing voters. The influence on those votes is waning.”
