The DNC is already working in partnership with its sister committees to invest in Latino outreach and organizing in targeted coordinated campaigns, including in Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Florida, Texas, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. Adelante will build on the DNC’s Spanish-language and bilingual voter contact program, through which volunteers help provide states with dedicated Spanish-language outreach capacity focused on coalition building, voter registration, and mobilization.
