DNC Chair Tom Perez says Democrats have stepped up Latino voter outreach
AUSTIN, Texas Democratic Party Chairman Tom Perez is pushing back on criticism of the partys outreach to Latinos, saying there has been important and substantial investment in Latino voters across the country.
I knew when I took this job we needed to up our game in every community, Perez, the first Latino to head the Democratic Party, told NBC News on Monday.
Perez said work started before the midterm election cycle and included helping to get Annette Taddeo elected to the Florida state Senate and increasing the Latino vote for Democratic wins in Virginia.
The party has invested upward of $3 million in 15 states in the run-up to the midterms on organizing, voter registration, digital strategies, radio ads and more. And Im proud of the work weve done, Perez said.
