LULAC Connects Critical Latino Voting Block With Presidential Candidates In The
Key Battleground State Of Nevada
===============================================================================


Nation’s Oldest & Largest Latino Civil Rights Org. Hosts Event with Sen. Bernie
Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Fmr. Mayor of South Bend, IN Pete
Buttigieg, and Tom Steyer, to Address Pressing Issues for the Nearly Half a
Million Eligible Latino Voters in Nevada

Las Vegas, Nevada - Today, The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC)
National held a town hall with Democratic presidential candidates and more than
300 registered Latino voters ahead of early voting on February 22nd in the Nevada
caucus. LULAC’s Presidential Town Hall in Nevada is part of the organization’s
series of candidate engagements to boost Latino voter turnout in key states for
the 2020 elections. Currently, there are nearly half a million eligible Hispanic
voters in the Silver State out of nearly 1.6 million total active registered
voters.

“The Democratic presidential candidates that showed up at the LULAC Town Hall
today realize that the road to the white house goes through the barrios and towns
of Latino America,” said Domingo Garcia, LULAC National President. “Nevada is one
of the most diverse primary states and what the candidates heard from Latino
voters today reflects the kitchen table concerns of our families around the
country, including education, healthcare, and immigration reform.”

“There is a reason why presidential candidates are ramping up their efforts to
win over the Latino vote in Nevada. Every 30 seconds, a Latino reaches voting age
in this country,” said LULAC National CEO Sindy Benavides. “The Latino community
is a key group of voters that will prove critical in this primary and beyond.
We’re thankful to the candidates that participated today and hope to work with
the eventual nominee to advance Latino priorities in 2020 and beyond.”

“We are excited to have LULAC involved in civic engagement in Nevada as we feel
that Nevada is a strong Hispanic and Latino state,” said LULAC Executive Vice
President Richard Estrada . “LULAC is proud to partner with local agencies who
are championing efforts to get more Latinos engaged in our elections, such as
Chicanos Por La Causa. LULAC being present and advocating for the state is not
only important for LULACers and the Latino community, our engagement is important
for all Americans.”
