In case you missed it, the Republican National Committee opened its first Hispanic Community Center in Arizona in the 6th Congressional District last week.

“The Republican National Committee has opened a Tucson office to help the party’s outreach efforts to Hispanic voters. The RNC Hispanic Community Center, at 1790 E River Road, opened on Friday Aug. 17. U.S. Senate candidate Blake Masters, U.S. House candidate Juan Ciscomani and Arizona GOP Chair Kelli Ward all spoke at the event. Polls and some election results are showing that some Hispanic voters are drifting away from their traditional home in the Democratic Party to the GOP. The Tucson center is the RNC’s first in Arizona and it’s 37th minority outreach center nationwide, the committee said in a press release.”

“… On Friday, Blake Masters, Kelly's Republican opponent in November's Senate election, spoke at the opening of the GOP Hispanic Community Center in Tucson. He was joined by key figures from the state's Republican Party, including GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward and 6th Congressional District candidate Juan Ciscomani […] In late July, the GOP launched a Spanish-language version of favored voter contact app Campaign Sidekick, in the hopes of attracting more Hispanic volunteers and getting better data on prospective Latino voters. They hope it will mobilize Spanish-speaking Republican voters, pushing them to spread the G.O.P. gospel to friends and family for whom English may not be a spoken language.”

“The Republican National Committee (RNC) opened a new Hispanic community center in Tucson, Arizona, and Republican Senate nominee Blake Masters, who appeared at the center’s opening, spoke with The Arizona Sun Times about the importance of elected officials connecting with their community. ‘I think people are looking, now more than ever, for their elected officials and their servant leaders to be accessible and to have a place where you can learn more and talk to like-minded people in the community and talk about issues. I think the Republican Party’s doing great, you know, with initiatives like this, with this center and others to hopefully be permanent fixtures. I don’t want this to be something we pop up around election time and then go away,’ Masters said. ‘I see nothing but positive there,’ Masters said, describing the new center as a ‘kitchen table’ where community members can meet elected officials and voice concerns.”

“On Friday, the Republican National Committee opened a brand new Hispanic community center in Tucson, Arizona. Republicans in the state said the new center will signal the party wants to make meaningful connections with Hispanic voters ahead of future elections […] ‘The Hispanic community is definitely the fastest-growing community in southern Arizona, for sure, and in the state, as well,’ Juan Ciscomani told The Western Journal. ‘So it’s smart for anyone to want the Hispanic business and also the Hispanic engagement in voting in primary elections and in general elections, as well.’ ‘I’m seeing that change dramatically this year, and it’s a combination of the outreach from the Republican Party, but also Hispanic feeling left behind and alone from the far extreme policies of some on the left that they just don’t sign up for.’”
