Eva Longoria, Top DNC Official Work Together To Raise Millions For Latino Candidates

[okaawhatever]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Actress and activist Eva Longoria and the Democratic National Committee's finance chief announced on Monday an effort to raise millions for Latino candidates, lamenting that this group's growth hasn't been matched by heavier political sway.

Longoria and DNC finance chairman Henry Munoz worked together to raise millions from Latino and Hispanic donors for President Barack Obama's re-election bid in 2012 and have been laying the groundwork for the Latino Victory Project since then. If the effort and its sister political action committee prove successful, they could again raise tens of millions of dollars, this time dedicated to helping Latino candidates.

"People keep talking about the power of the Latino vote. But the truth is that (2012) was just the tip of the iceberg," Longoria told The Associated Press on Monday. "We are not tapping into the full potential yet of the Latino community."

The group is close to raising its goal of $5 million this cycle, project president Cristobal Alex said in an interview. The group also would focus on introducing chosen candidates to donors in a way Democratic groups have done for years with female and gay candidates.
