Take Action with LULAC Adelante PAC!
LULAC forms a Political
Action Committee
LULAC, a civil rights organization dedicated to advancing opportunities for Hispanic Americans, was established in 1929, has established a Political Action Committee (PAC) named, LULAC Adelante PAC. The chairman of the PAC is Past LULAC National President Domingo Garcia. Chairman Garcia stated that the first action of the political arm of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) was to endorse the Harris-Walz ticket. Leadership from the PAC will joined Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz during a recent campaign event in Nevada.
“Today, we are proud to endorse Kamala Harris and Tim Walz because of the real issues facing Latino communities and all Americans across the nation; we can trust them to do what is right for our community and the country,” LULAC Adelante PAC Chairman and Past LULAC National President Domingo Garcia said in a statement.
The PAC says that this is the first time LULAC has endorsed a presidential candidate in its almost 100-year history. The group describes itself as the nation’s oldest and largest Latino civil rights organization.
The organization also said that in conjunction with this endorsement, they will be “intensifying” their efforts to reach Latino voters in a number of battleground states, including Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
A Pew Research survey from earlier this years showed that Latinos make up 22% of the total eligible voter population in Nevada, a must win state for the Harris / Walz ticket.
“The stakes of this election require Latinos to unify and organize together like our lives depend on it. That’s what this endorsement makes clear: the organizing power of LULAC Adelante PAC will help us elect Vice President Harris and Governor Walz to fight to deliver for Latinos and our families,” campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez said in a statement.
