MIAMI - Leaders from Central Florida's Puerto Rican, Venezuelan, and Colombian communities urged Latino voters Monday to turn out for Florida's August primary and November general election, casting the 2026 cycle as a test of Hispanic political power in one of the country's most closely divided states.
At a news conference in Orlando, the groups Boricua Vota, Casa de Venezuela, and Casa Colombiana were joined by U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost, an Orlando Democrat. Frost told the crowd that "representation matters" and pressed families to weigh the past year and a half under President Donald Trump when they head to the polls.
