Julian Castro has joined Voto Latino, the nation’s largest Latino-focused political organization, as part of an effort to mobilize younger Latino voters
Julian Castro, the former Housing and Urban Development secretary and 2020 presidential candidate, said on Friday that he has joined Voto Latino, the nation’s largest Latino-focused political organization, as part of an effort to mobilize younger Latino voters.
“When we think about those states that are important swing states, Latinos are going to play a big role there,” Castro said, mentioning Florida, Arizona and Michigan as swing states with large Latino populations. “I wanted to join forces with an organization that has an unparalleled record of actually registering and mobilizing Latinos, particularly young Latinos. Nobody has a better track record of registering and mobilizing Latinx voters than Voto Latino.
The group also plans to more than double its fundraising, from $11 million currently, to $25 million by November. It's an ambitious goal, but one that Voto Latino’s founding president and CEO, Maria Teresa Kumar, maintains is possible through its aggressive outreach strategy to philanthropists and Latin-American women combined with Castro’s added star power.
