Chairwoman Linda Sánchez Rallies Voters in NE-02 for Kamala Harris and Tony Vargas


On the eve of early voting in Nebraska, Sánchez Joins Reproductive Rights Tour and Labor Canvass Kickoff in this Swing District 


Washington, D.C. - This past weekend, on the eve of early voting in Nebraska, CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez traveled to Nebraska’s second congressional district to rally voters for Kamala Harris and congressional candidate Tony Vargas. She took part in two campaign events to rally support for working families and protect reproductive rights.


“As early voting kicks off, Nebraskans have the power to shape the future. Our choices in this election will define our rights, freedoms, and ability to provide for our families. Latinos will show up and vote for Vice President Kamala Harris and Tony Vargas, who will make history as the first Latino to represent Nebraska in Congress,” said Chairwoman Linda Sánchez. “Democrats like Kamala and Tony stand united in the fight for labor and reproductive justice, and we won’t back down.”


NE-02 is critical for Democrats’ path to taking back the House. The Cook Political Report rates this district as a “Toss up”, one of only 15 races across the country in this category, demonstrating the strength of the Vargas campaign. But the significance of NE-02 stretches beyond the House, as this district has the potential to shape the Presidential election as well. Nebraska does not award electoral college votes statewide, but rather by congressional district. NE-02 holds a single electoral college vote, which President Biden won in 2020. Once again, NE-02 voters will have the chance to shape the future of both Congress and the White House. 


Sánchez’s weekend in Nebraska was marked by two key events that energized voters and highlighted the Democratic Party’s commitment to families in the Midwest:


  • IBEW Labor Canvass Kickoff with Tony Vargas: As the first woman IBEW member elected to Congress, Chairwoman Sánchez stood alongside Nebraska congressional candidate Tony Vargas, one of BOLD PAC’s endorsed candidates and a top pick-up opportunity for House Democrats this cycle. If elected, Vargas will be the first Latino to represent Nebraska in Congress. This event highlighted Democrats’ commitment to the labor movement and the fight for working-class families.


  • Harris Campaign’s Reproductive Rights Tour: ​​In addition, Chairwoman Sánchez participated in the Harris Campaign’s Reproductive Rights Tour, where she stood alongside Gwen Walz to double down on Democrats’ commitment to protect reproductive freedom. Together, they highlighted the critical stakes of the upcoming elections for the Latino community and emphasized the urgent need to defend reproductive rights.

La Presidenta Linda Sánchez Motiva a Votantes en NE-02 para Kamala Harris y Tony Vargas
En la vísperas de la votación anticipada en Nebraska, Sánchez se une a la Gira por los Derechos Reproductivos y al Lanzamiento de Campaña Laboral en este Distrito Decisivo


Washington, D.C. – Este pasado fin de semana, en vísperas de la votación anticipada en Nebraska, la presidenta de CHC BOLD PAC, Linda Sánchez, viajó al segundo distrito congresional de Nebraska para motivar a los votantes en apoyo de Kamala Harris y del candidato al Congreso, Tony Vargas. Participó en dos eventos de campaña para apoyar a las familias trabajadoras y proteger los derechos reproductivos.


"Al comenzar la votación anticipada, la comunidad de Nebraska tiene el poder para modelar el futuro. Nuestras decisiones en esta elección definirán nuestros derechos, libertades y la capacidad de mantener a nuestras familias. Los latinos saldrán a votar por la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris y por Tony Vargas, quien hará historia como el primer latino en representar a Nebraska en el Congreso", dijo la presidenta Linda Sánchez. "Demócratas como Kamala y Tony están unidos en la lucha por la justicia laboral y reproductiva, y no nos vamos a rendir".


El distrito NE-02 es crucial para que los demócratas recuperen la Cámara de Representantes. El Cook Political Report clasifica este distrito como un "Empate", uno de los solo 15 distritos en todo el país en esta categoría, lo que demuestra la fortaleza de la campaña de Vargas. Pero la importancia de NE-02 va más allá de la Cámara, ya que este distrito tiene el potencial de influir en la elección presidencial. Nebraska no otorga los votos del colegio electoral a nivel estatal, sino por distrito congresional. NE-02 tiene un solo voto del colegio electoral, que el presidente Biden ganó en 2020. Una vez más, los votantes de NE-02 tendrán la oportunidad de moldear el futuro tanto del Congreso como de la Casa Blanca.


El fin de semana de Sánchez en Nebraska estuvo marcado por dos eventos clave que motivaron a los votantes y resaltaron el compromiso del Partido Demócrata con las familias del Medio Oeste:


  • Lanzamiento de la Campaña Laboral del IBEW con Tony Vargas: Como la primera mujer miembro del IBEW elegida al Congreso, la presidenta Sánchez se unió al candidato al Congreso de Nebraska, Tony Vargas, uno de los candidatos apoyado por BOLD PAC y una de las mejores oportunidades de los demócratas para ganar en esta elección. Si es elegido, Vargas será el primer latino en representar a Nebraska en el Congreso. Este evento resaltó el compromiso de los demócratas con el movimiento laboral y la lucha por las familias trabajadoras.


  • Gira de los Derechos Reproductivos de la Campaña de Harris: Además, la presidenta Sánchez participó en la Gira de Derechos Reproductivos de la Campaña de Harris, donde se unió a Gwen Walz para reforzar el compromiso de los demócratas de proteger la libertad reproductiva. Juntas destacaron la importancia crucial de las próximas elecciones para la comunidad latina y subrayaron la necesidad urgente de defender los derechos reproductivos.

A Marine Corps veteran, single mother, and the daughter of farmworkers, Mendoza embodies the grit and resilience of working families across Arizona. In just 60 days, she raised over $810,000—an impressive display of grassroots strength and undeniable momentum. Mendoza is the candidate to flip this seat and defeat Juan Ciscomani. “JoAnna Mendoza is exactly the kind of leader Washington needs right now – tough, tested, and rooted in community,” said CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez . “She has served our country with honor, and now she’s answering the call to serve again. Juan Ciscomani has spent his time in Congress pushing a dangerous far-right agenda, siding with MAGA extremists, and putting party loyalty over the needs of Arizonans. JoAnna is a battle-tested Marine and a proven leader who knows what true service means. She has what it takes to flip this seat and fight for Arizona’s working families.” "I’m honored to have the support of BOLD PAC — a powerful voice for Latino representation and working families,” said JoAnna Mendoza . “As a proud Latina, Marine veteran, and native Arizonan, I know what it means to fight for opportunity and equity. In Congress, I'm looking forward to standing with BOLD to deliver for our communities and ensure every family gets a fair shot.” ABOUT JOANNA MENDOZA JoAnna Mendoza is a Marine veteran, dedicated public servant, and single mother who has spent her life fighting for her country and her community. Raised in a rural Arizona farming community, she learned the values of hard work and resilience from an early age. Her family often struggled to make ends meet, relying on safety-net programs, shaping her deep commitment to public service. At 17, JoAnna joined the Marines, where she served multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. She became a Drill Instructor, training the next generation of service members. After 20 years of honorable service, she continued her public service as a congressional staffer, a school board member, and a veteran advocate. JoAnna will be a relentless advocate for working families, rural communities, veterans, education, health care, and Arizona’s natural environment.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 3, 2025 Contact: Karla Rodriguez Karla@chcboldpac.com BOLD PAC Shatters Q1 Fundraising Record, Raises Over $3.2 Million in Push to Take Back the House and Senate Washington, D.C. - BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, announced today that it raised over $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2025, marking its strongest Q1 fundraising total ever in an off-year. This record-breaking momentum underscores what Senator Cory Booker and Democrats across the country are saying: the fight to take back the House and Senate is on–and we are fired up. The $3.2 million raised this quarter significantly outpaces BOLD PAC’s Q1 totals in previous off-years. This includes the $2.01 million raised in the first quarter of 2017 when a sea of Democratic energy led the party to flip 43 seats in the House during Donald Trump’s first term. The record-breaking haul underscores how energized and mobilized Democrats are early in the midterm cycle. “Donald Trump is back in the White House, and our communities are already paying the price. He’s damaging our economy, rolling back our rights, threatening our Social Security and Medicare, and doubling down on the same extremist playbook that hurts working families,” said Chairwoman Linda Sánchez . “But we’re not backing down. This historic fundraising total shows how fired up the Democratic base is to hold him accountable. BOLD PAC is channeling that energy into action to protect our communities and take back the House and Senate next year.” ### CHC BOLD PAC , the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

As a longtime Member of the Natural Resources Committee, Raúl fought to protect our environment, public lands, and Indigenous communities, ensuring future generations could enjoy and benefit from them. His absence will be deeply felt in Congress and across our BOLD familia. Raúl was more than a public servant; he was a mentor, a proud Latino leader, and a champion for those who needed him most.

May he rest in peace." ### CHC BOLD PAC , the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 05, 2025 Contact: Karla Rodriguez Karla@chcboldpac.com TRUMP’S FIRST MONTH HAS ONLY MADE LIFE MORE EXPENSIVE FOR AMERICANS WASHINGTON, D.C. – As President Trump delivered his first speech to a Joint Session of Congress, one fact is clear: his first month in office has done nothing to bring down costs for working families — in fact, he’s hurting their pocketbooks. Instead of fighting to lower prices at the grocery store, reduce the cost of prescription drugs, or lower the costs of housing, Trump has spent his time: Ignoring the spike in egg prices, with the national average hitting $5 in his first month back. Eggs shouldn’t be a luxury. Pressuring Republicans to pass a budget resolution that would cut $2 billion in federal Medicaid funds from each congressional district, gutting health care for 15.9 million Americans . Rolling back an executive order from the Biden administration to lower prescription drug prices to $2. Admitting—twice —that lowering costs and making life more affordable is not his top priority . “Donald Trump promised to help working Americans, but his first month back in the White House has been a disaster for their wallets,” said Chairwoman Linda Sánchez . “He’s proving once again that he’s only looking out for himself while Latino families foot the bill. BOLD PAC remains committed to electing leaders who will put working families first. We won’t let Trump’s disastrous policies go unchecked.” CHC BOLD PAC CHC BOLD PAC is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and is dedicated to increasing diversity in the House and Senate by helping more Latinos get elected.
