Washington, D.C. - Today, CHC BOLD PAC Chairman Ruben Gallego issued the following statement regarding Republican Senator Ted Cruz's visit to the Rio Grande Valley: 


“Senator Ted Cruz is leading a Republican delegation visit to the Rio Grande Valley. This is just a distraction from the fact that he abandoned his constituents while they were without power or water during a massive winter storm. Make no mistake, Senator Cruz proudly stood with Trump’s cruel immigration policies that separated thousands of children from their parents and has a long history of being on the wrong side of this issue. He’d much rather the American people pay attention to his newfound faux interest in the well-being of children at the border rather than his long record of supporting anti-immigrant policies like those that led to the current situation and voting against policies like the DREAM Act and comprehensive immigration reform,” said BOLD PAC Chairman Ruben Gallego.


Sen. Cruz’s record is replete with inhumane and unjust policies toward immigrants in America: 


  • More than 800,000 Dreamers need help, and Sen. Cruz - who was born in Canada to a Cuban father - refuses to work on a - refuses to work on a solution.





While Sen. Cruz and other Republicans tour the southern border and mischaracterize immigrants and asylum seekers as violent criminals and fan the flames of dangerous anti-immigrant rhetoric, President Joe Biden has brought back common-sense solutions that are supported by the majority of the American public and reinstated programs that allow children to apply for asylum from their home countries rather than embarking on the dangerous journey to the border.

Washington, D.C. – Hoy el Presidente de CHC BOLD PAC, Rubén Gallego, emitió la siguiente declaración sobre la visita del Senador republicano, Ted Cruz al Valle del Río Grande:


“El Senador Ted Cruz lidera la visita de una delegación republicana al Valle del Río Grande. Esto es sólo una distracción frente al hecho de haber abandonado a sus electores, mientras estaban sin electricidad y sin agua durante una masiva tormenta invernal. No se equivoquen, el Senador Cruz defendió con orgullo las crueles políticas de inmigración de Trump que separaron a miles de niños de sus padres y tiene un largo historial de estar del lado equivocado de la situación. El preferiría que el pueblo estadounidense preste atención a su nuevo falso interés por el bienestar de los niños en la frontera, en lugar de su apoyo a políticas antiinmigrantes como las que llevaron a la situación actual. El votó en contra de políticas como el DREAM Act y una reforma migratoria integral”, dijo el Presidente de BOLD PAC, Rubén Gallego.


El historial del Senador Cruz está repleto de políticas inhumanas e injustas hacia los inmigrantes en Estados Unidos:






El Senador Cruz y otros republicanos recorren la frontera sur y caracterizan erróneamente a los inmigrantes y solicitantes de asilo, como criminales violentos. Y mientras siguen avivando las llamas de la peligrosa retórica antiinmigrante, el presidente Joe Biden ha puesto en marcha soluciones de sentido común que cuentan con el apoyo de la mayoría de los estadounidenses. Programas públicos que permiten a los niños solicitar asilo desde sus países de origen, en lugar de embarcarse en un peligroso viaje hacia la frontera.

Trump doesn’t understand what it’s like to worry about putting food on the table, affording a doctor’s visit, or keeping the lights on. But millions of working families do and they’re the ones feeling the pain of his disastrous agenda. Republicans have made it clear that they stand with Trump’s extreme agenda over our communities. In 2026, voters will hold them accountable." ### CHC BOLD PAC , the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

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.

BOLD PAC Shatters Q1 Fundraising Record, Raises Over $3.2 Million in Push to Take Back the House and Senate

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.

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.

TRUMP’S FIRST MONTH HAS ONLY MADE LIFE MORE EXPENSIVE FOR AMERICANS

By Bold . • March 6, 2025
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.
