CPAC Hosts Event to Mobilize Latino Voters Ahead of 2025 Elections

The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) recently organized an event in Virginia aimed at engaging Latino voters in the lead-up to the 2025 elections. The gathering focused on encouraging participation for “faith, family, and common-sense leadership,” while addressing concerns about what the organizers describe as “radical Left policies.”

Mobilizing Voter Turnout

During the event, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin emphasized the urgency of mobilizing voters, stating, “We have 10 days left, 10 days left to make a statement, 10 days left to get the vote out.” He reflected on the success of previous elections, recalling how collective efforts led to significant outcomes in 2021.

The speakers included prominent figures such as Virginia Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears and Attorney General Jason Miyares, along with CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp. Their joint message highlighted the importance of voter engagement, particularly within the Latino community in Virginia.

Political Landscape and Concerns

Recent trends indicate a shift among Latino voters towards the Republican party, particularly during the past year. Many in the community have expressed frustration with the Democratic party’s handling of issues such as inflation and immigration policy. Yet, there remains apprehension regarding the implications of former President Donald Trump’s immigration policies and their potential impact on Latino communities.

A recent poll conducted from October 16 to October 20 shows Democratic candidate Abigail Spanberger leading Earle-Sears by twelve points as the two women prepare to compete for the position of Virginia’s first female governor. With voter registration closing on October 27, the urgency for voter mobilization intensifies as November 4, 2025, approaches.

The CPAC event not only aimed to rally support for specific candidates but also sought to solidify the Republican party’s connections with Latino voters in Virginia, a demographic that could play a crucial role in the upcoming elections.
