In the months leading up to President Obama’s re-election, the Futuro Fund was founded to ensure that Latino voices in critical states and nationwide were being heard and their votes both fought for and counted. When they saw exactly what supporting and funding Latino voters and issues could do, Latino Victory — a non-partisan effort to build political power so that the faces and voices of Latinos are reflected at every level of government and in the policies that drive our country forward — was born.
69% of Latino Victory candidates won their races in 2016, increasing Latino representation in Congress by a dramatic 18%. Now, in addition to recruiting and supporting 2018 candidates, LV is celebrating the successes of Latinos across the country through the #TheFirsts campaign.
