This marks the first time in its history that LULAC has endorsed a presidential candidate. The political action committee&#8217;s executive board voted unanimously on Friday to support Harris and her running mate, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN).

Garcia praised Vice President Harris as a steadfast ally for the Latino community throughout her career, asserting she is essential for their continued prosperity in America. The endorsement comes as Harris seeks to regain support from Latino voters after recent polls indicated declining backing for President Joe Biden prior to his withdrawal from the 2024 race. LULAC plans to mobilize voters across five key battleground states: Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
