The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the nation’s largest and oldest Latino civil rights organization, has officially endorsed Kamala Harris for president. This endorsement marks a significant departure from LULAC’s traditional stance of refraining from formally backing presidential candidates, highlighting the group’s strong support for Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
The endorsement was announced today in Washington, DC, where LULAC leaders emphasized the importance of the Harris-Walz ticket in addressing key issues facing the Latino community, including immigration reform, economic justice, and civil rights protections. LULAC President Domingo Garcia stated that the organization believes Harris is uniquely positioned to lead the nation in a direction that benefits all Americans, particularly communities of color.
Harris and Walz are expected to appear alongside LULAC leaders at a campaign rally in Las Vegas this Saturday. The rally is anticipated to draw significant attention, as it underscores the campaign’s efforts to solidify support within the Latino community, a crucial voting bloc in the upcoming election. The event in Las Vegas is seen as a key moment for the Harris-Walz campaign to demonstrate its commitment to the issues that matter most to Latino voters.
LULAC’s endorsement could have far-reaching implications for the Harris-Walz campaign, potentially mobilizing millions of Latino voters across the country. This endorsement also signals a growing alignment between civil rights organizations and the Democratic ticket, as the Harris-Walz campaign continues to build momentum ahead of the election.
The Harris-Walz team has been actively courting Latino voters, focusing on policies aimed at improving healthcare access, education, and economic opportunities for Latino families. With LULAC’s endorsement, the campaign gains a powerful ally in its efforts to galvanize Latino voter turnout in key battleground states.
As the campaign rally in Las Vegas approaches, the Harris-Walz ticket is poised to capitalize on this endorsement, further solidifying its base and expanding its appeal among undecided voters.
