The Hispanic vote has the potential to make a huge difference in Tucson with 44% of the population being Hispanic.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Univision reports the Hispanic vote jumped 43% between 2016 and 2020. But in 2020, only 18% of the total voter turnout was Hispanic.“Mi Familia Vota looks to provide information to voters about facts,” said Carolina Rodriguez-Greer, the State Director of Mi Familia Vota.“One of the best ways to have your voice heard is through voting,” she said.“For the Latino community in Arizona, the second largest ethnic group, it’s important to participate,” said Rodriguez-Greer.
Up until election day, they have been canvassing in zip codes like 85713, which has a 67.7% Hispanic population.“We’re canvassing and talking to the community. We’re giving some important information for these upcoming elections. Like candidates and propositions, and all the questions people may want to ask us,” said Bermudez.“A lot of people have actually been motivated since we’ve been out in the streets talking to them and people have actually gone and voted because of us,” he said.
Like today, Mi Familia Vota will be all over Tucson tomorrow canvassing getting the message to go out and vote to as many people as possible.Reyna Preciado is a reporter for KGUN 9, she joined the KGUN 9 team in July of 2022 after graduating Arizona State University.
