Amid signs that Republicans may be losing some of the Latino support that the party picked up in 2024, grassroots organizations are stepping in to boost GOP Senate candidates in key races during this year’s midterms.

The LIBRE Initiative Action, a conservative-leaning Latino political group, is set to endorse Republican Sen. Jon Husted for the Senate seat in Ohio and former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Whatley in the North Carolina Senate race, CBS News has learned.

Both races could prove crucial in deciding whether the GOP holds onto control of the Senate. Democrats are eyeing North Carolina as one of their likeliest opportunities to flip a seat, after nominating former Gov. Roy Cooper. In Ohio, the party is aiming to return former Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown to the Senate following years of GOP gains in the state.

Latino voters make up a fast-growing share of both states’ populations, making the group an important factor in any competitive race. The LIBRE Initiative Action says it is planning to emphasize economic issues.

“In every poll that we’ve seen and everywhere we go, the economy continues to be number one for the voting Latino citizen,” Daniel Garza, the group’s senior adviser, told CBS News ahead of Wednesday’s endorsement announcement.

“It’s a priority to the Latino community. Jobs, inflation, the cost of the utility bill — all of these issues matter. We don’t want elected officials who are going to increase the tax burden, impose even more employee mandates, regulations on energy production, health care and make it harder to deliver these services, thereby increasing the cost of everything to the Latino community.”

According to Garza, the organization plans to support these Republican Senate candidates through voter education, community engagement and grassroots outreach, noting that both states have rapidly growing Latino populations that could prove decisive in competitive races. One-on-one conversations have been especially effective in reaching and persuading Latino voters in past elections, he added.

“I really feel that the wild card is going to be the Latino voters in states like Michigan, Ohio and North Carolina, and to a certain extent in Georgia. They’re going to play hard and we are going to make sure we do everything to mobilize them.”

The endorsement highlights the growing importance of Latino voters in competitive Senate and House races that will help determine the balance of power in Congress during President Trump’s last two years in office.

SIGNS OF WANING SUPPORT AMONG LATINO VOTERS

Republicans are hoping to retain the gains they have picked up with Latino voters — a group that once skewed heavily Democratic but has increasingly looked like a winnable constituency. Mr. Trump won 48% of Latino voters nationwide in 2024, up 12 points from 2020, according to a Pew Research Center study that looked at verified voters.

But there are signs that this trend may be reversing, as polls show most Latinos disapprove of Mr. Trump’s handling of the economy and immigration.

In elections across the country since November 2024, Latino voters have shown high turnout, and heavily Latino areas have tilted Democratic. In Texas, the first major primary contest in this year’s midterms, new primary voters in Democratic primaries earlier this month were disproportionately Latino, and their turnout skewed heavily Democratic this year.

In the 2025 gubernatorial race in New Jersey, every county voted more Democratic than in the 2024 presidential election. Democrats swept the 10 counties where Latinos make up at least 20% of the population, expanding on their 2024 margins and flipping counties that Mr. Trump won in 2024.

A similar trend was seen in last year’s Virginia gubernatorial race, where Hispanic voters swung toward Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger, who won 67% of their vote across the state. Mr. Trump made large gains in Manassas and Manassas Park in 2024, which are more than 40% Latino. In 2025, these two areas turned out for Spanberger.

While Mr. Trump is not on the ballot in 2026, the midterms will offer a temperature check for his administration’s policies. Voto Latino, a left-leaning organization, is working to mobilize Latino voters in support of Democratic candidates, denouncing the president’s economic policies and, most recently, the U.S.’s war with Iran.

“He is proving once again how out of touch he is with the economic reality people have faced over the past year under his failed economic policies,” Voto Latino said in a statement after Mr. Trump described rising gas prices amid the Iran war as “a very small price to pay.” “Families are asking a simple question: why are congressional Republicans moving faster to fund foreign conflicts than to address the cost-of-living crisis right here at home?”

FORMER RNC CHAIR FACES OFF AGAINST EX-GOVERNOR IN NORTH CAROLINA

Mr. Trump endorsed Whatley, the former RNC chair, in the North Carolina Senate race ahead of the state’s primary in March. He will go on to battle Cooper in what is expected to be a competitive race.

North Carolina has a growing Latino population, with more than 1.1 million residing in the state as of the 2020 Census, up 40% from a decade earlier, according to University of North Carolina figures. They are most concentrated in Mecklenburg County, home to Charlotte. With an election that can be defined by narrow margins, this voting bloc — which makes up more than 10% of the state’s population — could serve to be critical.

In an interview with CBS News after winning the Republican primary, Whatley addressed the support that Democrats have picked up in elections since 2024.

“What I’m seeing all across North Carolina is: People want better jobs, they want bigger paychecks, they want lower costs and they want their communities and their kids to be safe. Those are the issue sets that we’re talking about across North Carolina. President Trump carried North Carolina three different times. I was part of his team in all three of those elections, and we know how to win in North Carolina.”

Cooper, meanwhile, has been elected to statewide office in North Carolina six times, having served as governor and attorney general.

“I’m going to take that same problem-solving to Washington that I used here in North Carolina to lower costs and make life more affordable for folks,” Cooper told supporters during a news conference following his March primary victory. “My opponent is an out-of-touch D.C. insider, been up there for years, big oil lobbyist who is only looking out for himself and his well-connected friends.”

OHIO’S GROWING LATINO POPULATION

The Buckeye State has nearly 600,000 Latinos, making up around 5% of the state’s population — a smaller population than North Carolina’s, but one that has almost tripled over the last quarter-century. An estimated 235,000 are registered to vote, according to LIBRE. Latinos are spread throughout some of Ohio’s largest cities, including Cincinnati and Cleveland.

Husted is running to defend his Senate seat after being appointed by Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine in 2025 to replace JD Vance, who resigned from the Senate to become vice president.

He is widely expected to face Brown, a Democrat who served as a senator for three terms before losing in 2024 to Sen. Bernie Moreno, the first Latino to represent the state in the Senate. Ohio’s primary is set for May 5.

The GOP has increasingly done well in Ohio, which was once viewed as a swing state. Mr. Trump won the state by 11 percentage points in 2024, and it has not elected a Democratic governor since 2006.

But Ohio has been identified as a potential pickup opportunity by Democrats. Given the slim majority Republicans hold in the Senate, the battle for this seat will be competitive, and both left- and right-leaning groups are working to mobilize as many voters as they can.

(Charlotte, NC) — The LIBRE Initiative Action, a Latino political group committed to supporting candidates who want to advance freedom-minded solutions, today officially endorses Michael Whatley in his bid for the U.S. Senate from North Carolina.

Whatley is the leader North Carolina needs to champion policies that increase affordability, expand economic opportunity, strengthen families, and ensuring the American Dream is affordable.

Key Points: Why LIBRE Action Supports Michael Whatley

• Whatley served in the U.S. Department of Energy, giving him valuable experience in energy policy at a time when North Carolina continues to play an important role in America’s energy economy.
• As Latinos are projected to represent nearly 30% of new workers entering the energy sector, North Carolina needs leaders who understand how energy policy supports jobs, economic growth, and opportunity for working families.
• Whatley oversaw President Trump’s transition team efforts on agriculture, energy, and environmental policy, equipping him to address rural workforce shortages that affect farmers and agricultural communities across the state, many of which rely on Latino workers.
• Whatley previously worked in banking policy, providing him with experience on issues that affect homeownership, lending, and financial opportunity for North Carolina’s growing population of Latino homeowners.
• His experience in economic and financial policy positions him to help ensure that families across North Carolina, including the growing Latino community, have the opportunity to buy homes, build businesses, and create generational wealth.

Sandra Benitez, Senior Advisor to LIBRE Action, released the following statement:
“Michael Whatley represents a bold, principled vision for North Carolina, one that aligns with LIBRE Action’s commitment to economic freedom and affordability, limited government, and opportunity for all. His proven leadership experience, including his work in both the private and public sectors, uniquely positions him to deliver real results.

Whatley will fight to cut wasteful spending, lower taxes, and reduce the regulatory burden that makes it harder for Latino entrepreneurs and families to succeed. He understands that strong, sustainable economic growth and affordability is the foundation of lasting opportunity.

As North Carolina enters a pivotal Senate race, we are proud to mobilize our grassroots army, volunteers, and Latino supporters behind a candidate who shares our values and has the drive to defend them in Washington. Michael Whatley will be a vocal champion for pro-growth policies that expand the American Dream.”

From leading on the SPEAK Act to fighting for financial empowerment, Evans is the champion Colorado Latinos deserve

Denver, CO – Today, The LIBRE Initiative Action, a political group committed to supporting candidates who want to advance freedom-minded solutions, officially announced its endorsement of Congressman Gabe Evans for Colorado’s 8th Congressional District.

In a district where the Latino vote is decisive, LIBRE Action is highlighting Evans’ proven track record of showing up, listening, and delivering on the issues that matter most to the community: healthcare access, economic competitiveness, and financial dignity.

Key Points: The Latino Vote in CO-08:

• District 08 is not only the most diverse in Colorado but is also a textbook “swing” district where every percentage point will matter.
• In 2024 Gabe Evans who his election by approximately 2,449 votes.
• Latinos make up roughly 38.5% of the district’s total population (the highest concentration in Colorado).
• In 2024, while the Democratic incumbent slightly won most of the Latino vote (nearly 56%), Evans made significant inroads compared to previous GOP candidates. Evans successfully cut into the traditional Democratic lead in heavy-Latino areas like Adams County.

Gabe Evans has been a champion by:

• Bridging the Health Care Gap: Evans was a primary leader of the SPEAK Act, a bipartisan victory recently signed into law. The act ensures that telehealth services are accessible to those with limited English proficiency, a life-changing win for millions of Latinos who previously faced language barriers when seeking medical care.
• A Champion for Financial Empowerment: Evans has been a constant presence in the community. He has shown to listen and discuss the policy solutions that empower our community, and all communities, toward a more affordable economy.
• Boosting U.S. Competitiveness: He fought to pass legislation to bring back capitol from foreign countries as well as supported permitting reform to protect our districts high paying energy jobs and ensure we have American energy dominance.
• Deep Roots in the District: Understanding the unique needs of CO-08, a district with one of the most significant Latino populations in the state, Evans has focused on pro-growth policies that lower the cost of living and expand educational opportunity.

Sandra Benitez, Senior Advisor for LIBRE Action issued the following statement:

“Gabe Evans doesn’t just talk about the Hispanic community, he is part of it, he shows up for it, and he delivers for it. Whether it’s passing the SPEAK Act to ensure language is never a barrier to healthcare or fighting to keep America competitive on the global stage, Gabe understands that the American Dream requires work and principled leadership. CO-08 needs a representative who knows that when Latinos thrive, Colorado thrives. That leader is Gabe Evans.”

Angel Merlos, Advisor for LIBRE Action-CO, added:

“We have seen firsthand that Gabe Evans is a leader of action. Whether joining our community for town halls on financial empowerment or leading the charge in D.C., Gabe has proven he prioritizes pocketbook issues keeping families up at night. He understands that in Weld County—a national bastion of energy production—thousands of Latinos are the backbone of the industry that powers our state. By fighting for energy independence and lower costs, Gabe is fighting for our livelihoods. His leadership shows he is a serious steward of taxpayer dollars, working to root out waste and abuse to ensure these vital programs are preserved for our community’s most vulnerable.”

LIBRE Action is Poised to Play Decisive Role in Swinging Latinos

(Grand Rapids, MI) — The LIBRE Initiative Action, a Latino political group committed to supporting candidates who want to advance freedom-minded solutions, today announced its support for Mike Rogers in the race for U.S. Senate in Michigan.

As a former FBI agent and a leader in Congress, Mike Rogers brings real-world experience to the key issues impacting our state: economic growth, health care affordability, education, and public safety. Mike Rogers understands that the American Dream starts with empowering people and small businesses with an economy that allows them to thrive and peruse their American Dream. Unlike many candidates, for years, Mike Rogers has shown up in Hispanic communities to listen to our families and small business owners and engage directly on the issues that matter most to us. This is one of the reasons why the majority of Hispanics voted for him in the 2024 election.

In Congress, Mike Rogers represented a district with a rapidly growing Latino population and consistently stood for policies that expanded opportunity — from supporting Health Savings Accounts for low-income families, which helped bring HSAs to Latino communities for the first time, to advancing an energy vision that strengthens our economy and lowers costs for working families.

Ricardo Castro, Advisor to LIBRE Action, released the following statement:

“Michigan’s Latino community is no longer a footnote in statewide elections — we are a decisive, growing, and engaged electorate. Michigan’s Latino community deserves leaders who understand that affordability, opportunity, and economic upward mobility are essential to the American Dream. Mike Rogers has shown he is the right policy champion to advance those priorities — not just for today, but for the next generation. From strengthening our economy and lowering the cost of living, to ensuring safe communities, and expanding the pathways for entrepreneurs to succeed, Mike Rogers has consistently stood for solutions that align with the values and aspirations of Latino families. His commitment to empowering workers, supporting small businesses, and restoring an environment where every family can get ahead makes him the strongest candidate in this race.

As the influence of Hispanic voters continues to grow, LIBRE Action is proud to stand with Mike Rogers because he has earned our trust through action, consistency, and results. He is a tested leader who believes in solutions that drive freedom, reward hard work, and protect our family’s future.”

In the months ahead, LIBRE Action will actively engage, educate, and mobilize Latino voters across Michigan — knocking doors, hosting conversations, and ensuring that every voice is heard. Our community is growing, our influence is growing, and we are determined to help elect leaders who expand freedom, opportunity, and prosperity. Mike Rogers is that leader.

Background on Michigan’s Latino vote:

• Michigan’s Latino population has grown significantly — according to a USC study, the state’s Latino eligible voter population increased by nearly 17% between 2010 and 2020.
• The Latino electorate in Michigan tends to skew younger: roughly 30% of Latino voters are between 18–29, making this a potentially high-impact demographic for voter engagement strategies.
• There is a large number of eligible Latino voters who are not yet participating, representing a major opportunity for outreach and mobilization. (Source)

Voters have rejected the current leadership and their policies  

Arlington, VA — (11/6/24) The LIBRE Initiative Action commends the new Senate majority, recognizing it as an important step toward a government that empowers individuals, protects freedoms, and champions limited government.  

The LIBRE Initiative Action has long advocated for policies that allow individuals—particularly within the Latino community—to flourish without facing undue regulatory or bureaucratic burdens. This new majority signals a renewed commitment to a government that listens to and works for the people, aligning with the principles of freedom, opportunity, and self-reliance. With this shift, we are optimistic that the Senate will prioritize policies that encourage growth, innovation, and prosperity for all. 

Daniel Garza, President of The LIBRE Initiative Action, issued the following statement:  

“The shift in the Senate is a  rejection of the current leader from voters who are tired of policies that empower the government and not them. We are encouraged by the new Senate majority, as it signifies an opportunity to put power back in the hands of individuals and families. For too long, we’ve seen an increase in policies that increase wasteful spending and limit opportunities. At LIBRE, we are ready to work alongside those who support the principles of limited government, creating a landscape where people are empowered to succeed on their own terms. This is what America needs to thrive.”
