The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) and nine-state Republican Party’s announced in April that they would invest seven figures in an operation dedicated exclusively to reaching Hispanic communities. In Wisconsin, one of the states where the operation launched, the GOP surpassed the combined total of Hispanic voter contact efforts of the past six years.
Entitled “Vamos!”, the operation has revealed the concerns of Hispanic voters at both the national and state levels, with crime, inflation, employment, and the economy being the main points of interest.

The Republican Party of Wisconsin (RPW) has organized multiple events in Milwaukee in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, which takes place from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, in an effort to reach more Hispanic voters. Those events included a street party, a voter registration drive, and a voter education event.
Team Vamos had a great time speaking to voters last weekend at the Festival Orgullo Hispano in Kenosha about the importance of voting for Republicans up and down the ballot this November.

Republican efforts for outreaching the Hispanic vote
RPW Chairman Paul Farrow expressed pride in the results of the “Vamos!” operation, which has successfully delivered the Republican Party’s message to Wisconsin’s Hispanic communities.
“The Hispanic community has always shared our Republican values of faith, family, freedom, security and limited government,” Farrow said. “That’s why, since April, the Vamos team has made tremendous grassroots efforts and successfully spread our Republican message to more Hispanic voters than in the last six years, combined.”
Farrow said the day has been exciting and that he looks forward to continuing “working with the Hispanic community in Wisconsin, and welcoming them to the Republican Party.”
Republicans continue to strive to gain ground on Hispanic voters’ dissatisfaction with Democratic policies at a time when Joe Biden’s support among the Hispanic community has reached historic lows and more and more Latino voters are rushing to register with the GOP.
