Success with Latino voters "means running politically moderate and somewhat culturally conservative candidates in heavily Latino districts." - From the man of the hour himself, @ChuckRocha, whose firm helped flip Texas. I pick on Dems a lot. But I have to give respect where respect is due.
My @nytopinion on how we won back Latino voters and what we must do to keep them! Our firm won 25 competitive congressional races Tuesday night. I wanted to explain how and what’s next #NoDegreeRequired nytimes.com/2026/11/05/opini…

Newsom’s latest political calculation is all chrome and no engine—and Latino media was more than happy to play lapdog. A license plate might make for a nice photo-op, but it does little to remove the barriers that keep people from building businesses, creating wealth, and getting ahead.

This Tuesday, voters in several key states will head to the polls in elections that carry weight far beyond local and state offices. While not a presidential or midterm year, these off-year contests are a crucial indicator of the nation’s political mood. #election #tuesdayelection #politics thedailychela.com/p/immigrat…

During the peak of the mural movement in Los Angeles, there was an estimated 2,500 murals on city walls. Now, due to whitewashing and taggers, there are hundreds fewer.thedailychela.com/p/chicano-…

Orwell painted a grim picture of what happens when the machinery of the state becomes too powerful, too invasive, and too willing to use force against its own people. So what are we to make of soldiers being deployed to U.S. cities today? My column... tinyurl.com/53db6vv7

It doesn’t matter how deeply held a belief is. When a belief turns violent, it is no longer a part of a democratic society. It is a threat to it. My column today... LINK: thedailychela.com/p/in-defen…

Baseball in the United States is known as a National Pastime. However, just south of the border, it was a full-time passion for many in Latin America. In fact, by 1864 there were leagues in Cuba, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Venezuela: thedailychela.com/p/afro-lat…
