Dear Family,
At the Latino Community Foundation (LCF), we know that a thriving multiracial democracy depends on Latino voices being heard, respected, and represented. Our mission is to unleash the civic and economic power of the Latino community so that local, federal, and state policies and investments reflect the values of fairness, equity, and accountability.
Looking ahead to the November 2025 special election, we are proud to share new polling results that spotlight the priorities and concerns of California’s Latino voters. The data indicate our community is deeply engaged, ready to vote, and demanding solutions that protect our democracy and the values it stands for.
Key findings include:
- 62% of Latino registered voters in California say they will vote in November.
- 70% say their top concerns are cost of living, housing, and jobs.
- 66% are worried President Trump will send federal officials to monitor polling places in California.
- 85% believe congressional maps should ensure fair opportunities for Latino candidates.
- 84% say corporations must pay their fair share of taxes to fund healthcare, child tax credits, and food assistance.
- 75% support legislation requiring immigration officials to show identification and blocking ICE agents from wearing masks.
Latino voters are sending a clear message: they want fair representation, economic justice, and accountability in government.
Through our Latino Power Fund, LCF is investing in grassroots leaders and organizations mobilizing communities, protecting democracy, and advancing solutions rooted in equity and justice. To meet this moment, we need your partnership.
Together, we can ensure that Latino priorities are not only heard but acted upon, building a stronger and more inclusive democracy for all.
Warmly,
Julián Castro
CEO, Latino Community Foundation
