Former Republican congressional candidate Yesli Vega joins Mercedes Schlapp on this episode of America Uncanceled to discuss the importance of Latino voters in the upcoming elections.
Vega is the first Latina voted into office in Prince William County.
“I think that is an indication of where we are going as a party, and the future looks very promising, I believe, for the Republican Party. We have to be proactive. We have to engage. I think that the key to success is showing up, and we’re doing just that,” said Vega.
Indeed, Latino participation in the Republican Party is rising. Hispanic voters were a major part of Virginia Governor Greg Youngkin’s victory. In Vega’s experience in her own campaign and Youngkin’s campaign, pressing the issues, like the open border and transgender movement, wins over the Hispanic community. These are issues that they care about most but are not hearing the truth about from the Left.
Vega says Latinos are disappointed with Joe Biden and sick of the lies the Left has fed them for years about immigration reform and other issues and are now turning to the Republican Party for the truth and real solutions.
“I think this is a year where Latinos are going to come out in full force and they are going to have their voices heard at the ballot box and no longer will our votes, Mercedes, be taken for granted,” stated Vega.
