“One of the biggest factors in President-elect Donald Trump's landslide victory was his historic support from Hispanics,” said Alfredo Ortiz, president of Job Creators Network. I will write in Foxnews.com editorial This points to how the Republican Party can build a “historic political realignment” with Hispanic voters, whose “values of faith, family, hard work, and entrepreneurship make them natural Republican supporters.” It explains how it can be done.
Ortiz points out that Trump's victory with Hispanic voters was helped by grassroots advocacy efforts by groups like his.
He writes:
The Job Creators Network Foundation launched the Hispanic Vote Coalition earlier this year to encourage Hispanics to vote for their values. We expanded into Hispanic neighborhoods in battleground states with Spanish-language advertising, media, and materials for small business, faith, and community leaders. We found a receptive audience who were actively engaged with political issues and who were tired of being disrespected and taken for granted by Democrats.
The question now is whether Republicans can consolidate and further extend these gains among Hispanic voters. There is no doubt that the Democratic Party will make a strong push to win them back in future elections.
To do that, conservatives need to continue to engage and send tailored messages to this constituency, not just during elections but between election cycles. We need a permanent Hispanic engagement infrastructure to make these voters part of our coalition for the long term.
