BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, found success last cycle by endorsing candidates running in Pacific Northwest states with small but growing Latino populations.
The group plans to deploy a similar strategy this year as it seeks to stem Republican gains with Hispanic voters and help Democrats win control of the House.
Among those receiving an early endorsement is Democrat Eddy Morales, a community organizer and the son of an undocumented immigrant, who is running in a crowded race in Oregon’s 3rd District. Morales, 44, said he has seen Latino political clout increase since he arrived in the state at the age of 6.
