‘Latino Voters Will Be The Deciding Factor’ In 2024 Election. Here’s Why It Matters.California’s Latino population no longer looks the same as it did two decades ago, and a study highlights the untapped potential for a community who routinely has low voter turnout numbers. The change in the community is featured in a report published Wednesday by the UCLA Latino Policy and Politics Institute. Researchers used U.S. Census data to provide the demographic and socioeconomic findings of the state’s Latino eligible voters. Most notably, the eligible voter population increased from 3.9 million to 8.2 million in the last 22 years. Latinos now account for almost one-third of all eligible voters in California and are the second-largest racial or ethnic group after whites. Much of that growth has been fueled by U.S.-born Latinos turning 18, said Rodrigo Dominguez-Villegas, director of research at the UCLA Latino Policy and Politics Institute.Nearly half the share of young eligible voters in California are Latino.The increase in the eligible voter population is particularly noteworthy this year as Latinos will be crucial to the outcome of congressional elections across the state. Many toss-up elections could determine which political party controls Congress next year. Voter turnout for Latinos remains low in elections.https://lnkd.in/g7ttU3J2

Yesterday, I am attended Lucas Public Affairs' Annual Capitol Connections. The panelists were: Fiona Ma, CPA, California’s 34th State Treasurer; Cynthia Moreno, Press Secretary for California State Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas; and Dr. Luke Wood, Sacramento State’s 9th President. It was great to listen to the panelist answer the following questions: what was your first job; what do you look for in an intern; what was your worst job-related experience; and what advice do you have for future interns. #LucasPublicAffairs #LPACapitolConnections #FionaMa #CynthiaMoreno #DrLukeWood #DonnaLucas
