According to UnidosUS, a non-profit, non-partisan organization shows these are the top 5 priorities for Latinos this presidential election.

1. Inflation

2. Wages

3. Housing costs

4. Health care costs

5. Immigration is tied with crime and gun violence

Political Analyst Dr. David Smith says the presidential candidates still have to persuade the Latino voter population.

“Depending on who can activate them, determines who is going to turn out at a higher percentage, that is what we aren’t sure of yet,” said Dr. Smith.

In 2020, 16.5 million Latinos voted in the presidential election.

According to the National Museum of the American Latino, this is the breakdown of the Latino Vote:

– Mexicans 60%

– Puerto Ricans 13%

– Cubans, Dominicans, Central Americans, and South Americans making less than 7%

“You are going to have some, deeply religious and want to maintain their ties to their catholic identity or catholic faith and their cultural collective is the best way to identify it. They are not willing to move outside of that identity because they want to embrace who they are and where they come from,” Dr. David Smith said.

The Latino Vote is split between social conservatives and fiscally liberal Latinos.
