A national organization is announcing a $10 million campaign to turn out Hispanic voters in several of this year’s battleground states.
Mi Familia Vota, based in Phoenix, said it will spend $7 million on get-out-the-vote measures and an additional $3 million on digital and television ads, starting in Arizona and Florida.
Arizona in particular is seen as a battleground because of shifting demographics in the traditionally Republican state. Hispanics are a growing proportion of the electorate.
The campaign comes amid rising concerns about Latino turnout in a year when that community has been hit particularly hard by the coronavirus. Latinos account for higher rates of infection from COVID-19 when compared to their share of the population in a number of states, and many are struggling financially from lost jobs and lower wages.
“Basically what we’re saying is we’re not going to wait for political parties to do it themselves. They don’t invest in our communities,” said the group’s executive director and CEO, Hector Sanchez Barba.
According to the Pew Research Center, 13.3% of eligible voters in the U.S. this year are Latino, a record high. Pew projects that in Arizona, 24% of eligible voters this year are Latino, up 2 percentage points from 2016. In Florida, Latinos are projected to be 20% of eligible voters.

Where’s the money coming from?????????????follow the money and see who is funding this socialist project.
I hope they can also say, “Mi familia son ciudadanos.”
Before the Indiana primary I passed a polling place that had a sign up that said, “Vote Here. Vote Aquí” I hope no one voted who doesn’t know what that sign meant without its being translated.
Maybe they ought to focus on getting mexican families to vote, in Mexico.
Maybe they ought to focus on bringing back productive people to mexico, maybe fight for their own country, maybe clean up their own country? Maybe go back and deal with the cartels and make life better for mexicans in Mexico?
The culmination of the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA)
Ah, the folks behind #BastaTrump. Was wondering when they were going to show up. Soros must has looked under his sofa cushions...
My Family has the whole of Mexico for families!!!
Imagine if whites spent $10 million "to turn out white voters".
They would be called white supremacists.
What is that? Spanish for Keep America Great?
Like the Dems need more money.
The U.S. population replacement plan is going along swimmingly.
Beats me how all the Martha’s Vineyard, Hamptons, Georgetown, Mercer Island, SF Nob Hill, Brentwood/BeverlyHills/Malibu elites/moral superiors don’t consider the third world country they are bequeathing their grandchildren.
Oops, my bad, no grandchildren; bad for the planet doncha know.
Not "eligible CITIZENS"?
Latino turnout is gonna be low this year with the Chinese virus
Plus, Latinos believe sleepy Joe is old & sick
