This Idaho demographic is growing. A new group wants to energize them for election
Idaho’s Hispanic population is young, growing and evolving — and one new Idaho group wants to help that community expand its political clout.
Gerardo “Tato” Muñoz, president of the recently formed Idaho Hispanic Political Education Committee, told the Idaho Statesman that the organization has a two-sided goal: Getting voters involved in the political process, while also helping disprove narratives that cast the state’s Hispanic population in a negative light. The group plans to focus first on the Magic Valley and Canyon County.
The group is working with an infusion of cash, including $10,000 from the John Evans Political Action Committee and $5,000 from Idaho’s Realtors.
Sometimes, with older generations, people feel like voting won’t make a difference, Muñoz said.
