“And at a time when too many politicians are more interested in political expediency, Rep. Salazar has focused on solutions – including introducing legislation to improve our country’s immigration system – a vital issue for the people of South Florida.

The LIBRE Initiative Action Endorses Rep. Tony Gonzales for Reelection

Hispanic Advocacy Group Will Mobilize Supporters for Rep. Gonzales

PRESS RELEASE

06/08/2022

(El Paso, Texas) – Today, The LIBRE Initiative Action, a group committed to working with anyone to advance positive policies that promote the wellbeing of the Hispanic community, announced its support for Rep. Tony Gonzales – a candidate for re-election for the U.S. House of Representatives in Texas’ 23^rd congressional district.

LIBRE Action is supporting Rep. Gonzales for being a policy champion on various issues, including immigration and economic opportunity.

Karla Y. Sierra, advisor to The LIBRE Initiative Action, issued the following statement in support of Rep. Tony Gonzales:

“In addition to tackling inflation, South Texans are coping with the consequences of a federal government derelict in their duties in securing our border and modernizing our broken immigration system. Over the years, many elected officials make promises to lead on immigration, but fail to follow through.”

Karla Y. Sierra continued:

“Rep. Tony Gonzales has proven to be a principled leader willing to take the political risks to lead on immigration. As one of the original co-sponsors of the Bipartisan Border Solutions Act, Rep. Gonzales has introduced bipartisan legislation to begin fixing our immigration system’s most urgent needs. In addition to providing additional resources for border security, his bill would also more quickly process migrants who are trying to enter the U.S.

And at a time when leading economists are saying that excessive federal spending is contributing to rising inflation, Rep. Gonzales will have an opportunity to be a voice for fiscal discipline.”

Sierra concluded:

“As a group with deep ties in the Lone Star State, we are excited to marshal our army of volunteers and activists from El Paso to San Antonio and everywhere in between to get the vote out in support of Rep. Tony Gonzales.”

ICYMI: Georgia Media Calls on LIBRE Action to Breakdown The Latino Vote in The U.S. Senate Runoff

afpaction on December 16, 2020

(Atlanta, GA) – Since the initial endorsement of United States Senator David Perdue, The LIBRE Initiative Action and David Casas, Advisor to LIBRE Action in Georgia, have been called on to breakdown the Latino vote in the January’s highly competitive runoff election.

David Casas was interviewed by Univision, El Nuevo Georgia, Georgia Recorder, Bloomberg Government and Al Jazeera to explain the key role Latinos play in this election, what is at stake for the Latino community, why voters should support Sen. Perdue, and how this election has the power to impact the future of our country for generations to come.

Watch the full interviews here:

NBC News, PBS NewsHour, The Daily Caller and Georgia Public Broadcasting also covered LIBRE Action’s support of Sen. Perdue’s re-election.

From the articles:

…

“I think the crux of the issue here is to get as many people who are aligned to turn out,” Garza said. “We know through past voting patterns the affinity people have shown on conservative issues and free market society issues.”

…

“I think [Latinos are] tired of being told that they should submit to big government orthodoxy or to groupthink,” Garza said, noting that conservative Latinos face pressure to vote for Democrats, particularly from white liberals. “I think this is causing a shift in political preference.”

…

Background:

Last month, the LIBRE Initiative Action announced its support for Senator David Perdue, encouraging Latinos to re-elect him to the United States Senate for Georgia.

Efforts focus heavily on grassroots, citizen-to-citizen contact, including door knocking, phone banking, and texting. Read more about the efforts here.
