BREAKING: A new report from @UCLAlatino found that #LatinoVoters supported Democratic Senate candidates by wide margins in 2020 in 6 key Senate races, but a considerable number split their ballots btwn parties when choosing Senate and presi. candidates.
As we go into the 2022 election cycle, candidates from all political parties need to understand the growing importance of this electorate and invest in culturally competent and sustained voter engagement and mobilization strategies if they want to earn their vote.
