In Las Vegas, members of the Culinary Workers Union, Nancy Chavez Florez, and Mauricio Baena, who work in the kitchen and as a food runner, are campaigning in Latino and minority neighborhoods for Vice President Kamala Harris. The Latino community in Nevada holds significant political power, with 1 in 5 voters being Latino. President Biden won Nevada, in part due to strong Latino support, but the Harris campaign is facing challenges with Latino voters.
Both campaigns are actively engaging with Latino voters, with the Trump campaign hosting phone banking sessions and trainings for local volunteers, while the Harris campaign is investing heavily in Spanish-language media. The Culinary Union is playing a key role in mobilizing Latino voters, with thousands of workers taking time off to knock on doors in support of Harris and the Democratic Party.
The Latino community in Nevada has mixed views on Trump, with some feeling marginalized by his rhetoric, while others appreciate his economic policies. Flor Elena Fernandez, a new citizen and first-time voter, is undecided on who to vote for, citing concerns about the economy but being swayed by her mother’s support for Harris. The outcome of the election in Nevada could hinge on the Latino vote, making it a crucial demographic for both campaigns to win over.
