Our latest polling finds that 78% of Latino voters see a pressing need for stricter AI rules and oversight, a view shared by large majorities of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents.
Most support pragmatic policy approaches.

Texas saw a major shift among Latino voters this election.
I spoke with @NPR about how the economy, immigration overreach, and broken promises helped drive this shift and reshape Texas politics.

Latinos are not the sleeping giant. We're the swinging giant.
I spoke with @TIME about the shift in Latino support away from Trump and why Democrats can't take these gains for granted.

A look at 24 vs. 26 results in select Latino towns. The 2026 rebound among Latinos wasn’t uniform, but it was broad. Different communities, different regions, different starting points... yet every place below shifted meaningfully toward Dems compared with 2024.

“Three questions drove the midterm elections for Hispanic voters: Why does stuff cost so much? How can I make more money? What is my future in America?”
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…
12 hours after the U.S. midterms, Trump’s closest allies in Latin America did not have much to say. 🤐

Tons of headlines about shifts among Latino voters – just like in 2024, but in the opposite direction. These opposing swings affirm @EquisResearch polling showing a meaningful part of the Latino electorate isn't locked into either party and may swing from one election to another.
