Long-term Opportunities to Empower the Latino Electorate

Monday, August 1, 2016

From the White House to state legislatures, what are the policy implications of the Latino voter turnout this past November?  And what could the impact of Latino voters be in future federal, state and local elections if the community continues to grow as projected?  With these questions as a starting point, FCCP and Latino voter-engagement experts engaged in a forward-looking discussion of the long-term nonpartisan strategies for supporting a vibrant Latino electorate.
