Here’s How Democrats Can Win Back Latino Voters
Q: So Clarissa, why is it important then based on what Chuck is saying, why is it important that we start building a class of Latino political operatives who can authentically engage with these communities?

Here’s How Democrats Can Win Back Latino Voters
Q: So Chuck, what do you wish more politicians and consultants understood about state level engagement of Latino voters and about Latino non-voters?
Politicians have to put the investment in to actually have the conversation with Latino voters, just as they do with other groups.
