“Latino Victory Fund is excited to support Phil Arballo, Robert Garcia, Dr. Raul Ruiz, Rudy Salas, Rick Chavez Zbur, Hilda Solis, Kevin de León and Marina Torres.

“Latinos in California know all too well why it’s critical to have equal representation at all government levels. City, county, and state governments are where officials make key decisions that impact the daily lives of Latinos and Latinas. We also want to keep increasing Latino representation in the U.S. House of Representatives by supporting candidates who champion progressive issues that help the Latino community thrive. Now, more than ever, it’s imperative that we help elect more Latinos and Latinas who support values that matter to our community to these critical government positions.”
