Latino voters were key in ousting Joe Arpaio from office because they did the ground work & activism for years. Why? Because of his anti-immigration & discriminatory police tactics. They were also key in putting Biden over the edge in Arizona.

Besides I don't support those issues to win people over. I support them because they are the right thing to do.
