Three Latino Republican congressional lawmakers are now endorsing Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., for president after previously supporting former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
Coinciding with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's official presidential campaign announcement, a new advertisement has been released highlighting his stance on issues critical to the Latino community.
In preparation of the two-week congressional recess, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) will launch a paid-advertising campaign targeting "several vulnerable" House Republicans accused of making it difficult for students to afford college.
The Republican Party has selected a Cuban American freshman congressman to deliver the GOP’s State of the Union rebuttal in Spanish Tuesday night. Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, announced Rep. Carlos Curbelo, R-Fla., would deliver the Spanish-language address.
The incoming 114th U.S. Congress will feature the largest class of Latinos, and an increase of Republican Latinos in the House of Representatives, thanks in part to Florida voters giving the win to Miami-Dade School Board member Carlos Curbelo against Democratic incumbent Rep. Joe Garcia for the Sunshine State's 26th Congressional District.
Florida's 26th congressional district is home to a heavy Cuban population, and its House of Representatives election has challenged candidates to confront Cuban politics.
