The DCCC understands that earning the vote and support of the Latino community is critical to Democrats’ ability to protect and expand our House Democratic majority this November. That’s why the DCCC, along with partner organizations, has been working to build on the success achieved in 2018 to engage the Latino community across the country since day one of the 2020 election cycle.
As a result, the DCCC IE has launched Spanish language TV ads in districts across the battlefield to reach Latino voters who will be vital to Democrats’ path to victory.
“The DCCC isn’t taking a single vote for granted, that’s why we’ve been on the ground, building relationships and investing earlier than ever in the Latino electorate, and these ads are a result of those early investments,” said DCCC Spokesperson Fabiola Rodriguez. “This November Latino voters won’t be fooled by the lies of a Republican Party that has consistently voted to rip away their health care and bowed down to the xenophobic and cruel policies of the Trump Administration.”

“Puppet” highlights rejected Congressman David Valadao’s record of working for the rich and following Trump’s lead every step of the way by voting against protections for people with pre-existing conditions like coronavirus and against Central Valley seniors.
“Increible” spotlights how Donald Trump is a top fan of Valadao’s and how the rejected Congressman sold out his constituents by voting to gut protections for people with pre-existing conditions and create an age tax on older Americans.
“Puppet” Transcript- English Translation
David Valadao is a typical Republican who works for the rich and follows Trump’s lead.
He voted against protections for people with pre-existing conditions like coronavirus.
He voted against our senior family members, endangering their Medicare and Social Security.
He even voted against lowering the cost of their medications.
We don’t need Trump’s puppet in Congress. We need an ally who will be by our side, like TJ Cox.

Mike Garcia said he would represent our interests in Congress.
Let’s see what he’s actually done.
He voted with Trump almost 90% of the time.
He voted against the expansion of childcare to help working families during this pandemic.
And he voted in support of the Republican lawsuit to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which protects people with pre-existing conditions.

In the Newhall School District and in the state legislature, Christy worked to increase investments in public education and improve access to health insurance.
Through her own experience, Christy Smith understands the difficulties facing working families face trying to access healthcare.
That’s why she’s supported by local teachers, doctors and nurses, and first responders.
Let’s vote for Christy Smith.

“Unhealthy” Transcript – English Translation
In these difficult times, we need leaders who can keep us safe and secure. But the record of abuse, negligence and discrimination on Troy Nehls’ watch puts our community in danger.
As Sheriff, his department has been accused of racial profiling and targeting Latinos.
His jail had a trail of suicides.
And an audit of his detention centers found multiple incidents of sexual misconduct toward young people.
With COVID, Nehls has once again shown that he’s not the leader we need.
Even as the level of infections and deaths in the Latino community rose, Nehls ignored the facts and said the worst of the pandemic was behind us.
He defied the health experts and opposed a mandate to use masks and practice social distancing.
For our safety/security and our health, vote for Sri Kulkarni for Congress.

Via a Zoom call between two “comadres” (girlfriends), the ad also sheds light on Van Duyne’s careless promotion of re-opening Texas in midst of the pandemic.
“Comadres” Transcript – English Translation
My friend! How nice to see you, if only on video. How are you feeling?
I’m recuperating, little by little thank God. COVID is no joke.
And so many people are not taking it seriously!
Even some politicians! Did you see what the Republican candidate for Congress Beth Van Duyne said? She wanted to reopen the economy even faster, even though we’re still in the middle of the pandemic.
Yes! She’s the same one who wants to strip health care coverage from thousands of Texans, and gut protections for preexisting conditions, that now even includes COVID my friend.
Don’t scare me, my friend! What would I do without health care coverage?
There’s no need to despair. You need to vote, for Democrat Candace Valenzuela.
She’s like you and me, from an immigrant family, concerned with education and healthcare. That’s why she wants to be our representative in Congress.
Without a doubt! Let’s vote for Candace Valenzuela!
