Arizona will feature one of the country's most-watched Senatorial races, as is considered to be critical in determining who will control the chamber. As the much-anticipated contest nears between Democratic Rep. Rubén Gallego— who would be the first Latino to represent Arizona in the Senate— and Trump-ally Kari Lake, the former is seeking to appeal to Latino voters to propel him to victory.

Gallego recently sat down with Noticias Telemundo's anchor Julio Vaqueiro for an interview at a Mexican restaurant in Arizona, where an employee says the Representative is a regular with his son. As they drank coffee and ate Mexican Conchas, Gallego explained that while his "Latinidad" is always present at the time of making policies, he seeks to be a Senator for all Arizonans.
