Elizabeth Warren campaign to launch five-city Latino tour in Texas
"For the first time, we are seeing presidential candidates invest in activating this base," a Latino activist says.https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/elizabeth-warren-campaign-texas-five-city-latino-tour-n1131651
Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren, who heads to New Hampshire with an apparent third-place finish in Iowa, is looking ahead to Texas and its bevy of Latino voters.
On Monday, the Massachusetts senator's campaign is launching a five-city tour, starting in San Antonio, the hometown of former presidential candidate Julián Castro. Castro joined her campaign as a surrogate after dropping out of the race in early January. Castro's mother, Rosie Castro, a civil rights activist, will be a headliner at the San Antonio event.
The next city is Laredo on Tuesday where comedian and Texas native Cristela Alonzo will join her, then to McAllen on Wednesday. She is scheduled to be in Corpus Christi — home of the iconic Tejana singer Selena — on Thursday and wrap up Friday in Houston, where Warren attended college. As of Thursday, Warren was not scheduled to be on the tour.
Texas holds its primary on Super Tuesday, March 3, along with several other states and has 38 electoral votes.
“Latinos, Latinas and Latinx people will play a big role in upcoming elections,” Maria Martinez, Warren’s national Latinx community engagement director, said in a statement. “We understand that historically and under this administration, immigrant communities and communities of color have been under attack.”
