    BOLD PAC Defends Democratic House Majority FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Jazmin Vargas jazmin@chcboldpac.com Washington, D.C. — In addition to honoring our commitment to support Latino congressional candidates and bringing Latino representation to Congress, CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, also protected the Democratic House majority. In the 2020 cycle, BOLD PAC endorsed and contributed to 117 candidates across the country including 36 Frontline Members and 28 Red to Blue candidates in competitive districts across the country. Nearly 60% of BOLD’s endorsements were women and 1 in 3 was a person of color. While some races are still waiting to be called, our efforts helped re-elect and elect 45 Members. “While our primary mandate at BOLD PAC has always been to help elect more Latinos to Congress, we understood the shared responsibility we had as Democrats to defend our Democratic House majority -- one we fought so hard for in 2018,” said CHC BOLD PAC Chairman Tony Cárdenas. “Our Democratic House majority allowed our party to be a check on President Trump’s attempts to undermine our democracy and his constant attacks and threats to take health care away from millions of Americans. In the middle of a global pandemic, our Democratic majority fought to provide COVID relief directly to small businesses, local hospitals, American workers, and local governments when they needed it most. BOLD PAC is proud to have played a role in protecting our Democratic majority in the House by having helped elect 45 House incumbents and new Members across the country, a victory that ensures we continue our work on behalf of the American people alongside the Biden-Harris Administration.” List of Latino Members-elect and Senator-elect: Ritchie Torres, NY-15 Teresa Leger Fernandez, NM-03 Ben Ray Luján, NM-S List of endorsed House incumbents: Tom O'Halleran, AZ-01 Ann Kirkpatrick, AZ-02 Josh Harder, CA-10 Jimmy Panetta, CA-20 TJ Cox, CA-21 Maxine Waters, CA-43 Katie Porter, CA-45 Diana DeGette, CO-01 Jahana Hayes, CT-05 Al Lawson, FL-05 Charlie Crist, FL-13 Lois Frankel, FL-21 Debbie Wasserman Schultz, FL-23 Lucy McBath, GA-06 Cindy Axne, IA-03 Lauren Underwood, IL-14 Sharice Davids, KS-03 Richard Neal, MA-01 Elissa Slotkin, MI-08 Haley Stevens, MI-11 Angie Craig, MN-02 GK Butterfield, NC-01 Chris Pappas, NH-01 Annie Kuster, NH-02 Andy Kim, NJ-03 Josh Gottheimer, NJ-05 Tom Malinowski NJ-07 Bill Pascrell NJ-09 Mikie Sherrill, NJ-11 Deb Haaland, NM-01 Susie Lee NV-03 Steven Horsford, NV-04 Grace Meng NY-06 Peter DeFazio, OR-04 Tim Ryan, OH-13 Brendan Boyle, PA-02 Susan Wild, PA-07 Matt Cartwright, PA-08 Lizzie Fletcher, TX-07 Colin Allred, TX-32 Elaine Luria, VA-02 Kim Schrier, WA-08 Ron Kind, WI-03 This cycle BOLD to support 117 candidates and incumbents, including Latino and non-Latinos, of which nearly 60% were women.

    ICYMI: BOLD PAC Calls On Governor Newsom to Appoint Alex Padilla to U.S. Senate FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Jazmin Vargas jazmin@chcboldpac.com WASHINGTON — Governor Gavin Newsom has shown tremendous leadership navigating a global pandemic, unprecedented wildfires, an uncertain economic recovery, and constant hostility by the Trump Administration. Now, the Governor faces one of the most consequential responsibilities before any statewide executive -- appointing a successor to serve the remainder of Senator Kamala Harris’ term. BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, urges Governor Newsom to appoint Secretary of State Alex Padilla as Vice President-elect Kamala Harris’ successor in the U.S. Senate. If appointed, Alex Padilla would be the first Latino in history to represent California in the United States Senate. ICYMI: POLITICO: California Playbook By Carla Marinucci and Jeremy B. White [...] — BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, is urging Newsom to appoint Secretary of State Alex Padilla as Harris’ successor. “Latinos make up forty-percent of the state of California, make countless contributions to its economy, its history and culture, and yet the state has never been represented by a Latino voice in the U.S. Senate,’’ said Rep. Tony Cárdenas, the organization’s chair, in a statement. “With the success of the Biden-Harris campaign, we have the opportunity and obligation to change that.” The San Fernando Valley Democrat said Newsom must consider Padilla, who “would serve in the U.S. Senate with the same work ethic, integrity, and selflessness that defined his time in the Los Angeles City Council, California’s State Senate, and most recently as California's Secretary of State, where he protected voting rights.” Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard, in a pitch to Newsom this week obtained by POLITICO, made a case for Padilla as a historic figure who would represent California’s largest electorate. “As the first Mexican-American woman elected to Congress , I understand what it means to break barriers and how critical it is for diverse communities to have a seat at the decision-making table,’’ she wrote. “With Alex in the U.S. Senate, all Californians, including Latino and immigrant communities, will have someone who understands the challenges many of our families face, because he’s lived them.” [...] ### CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

These Members-elect, alongside our current Caucus members, in a Democratic House majority, and under the leadership of the Biden-Harris Administration, will work to deliver for all American families. “At BOLD PAC, we take seriously our responsibility to bring diverse Latino voices to Congress because our communities deserve it and our country demands it,” said CHC BOLD PAC Chairman, Tony Cárdenas. “That’s why we are proud of our efforts and commitment to recruit candidates with deep ties to their districts and empower them with the support and platforms to tell their story, to connect with their constituencies, and win. We made history this cycle by ushering in two new Members who represent the diversity of our Latino communities and added a new Senator to our ranks. Our Members-elects will be strong voices for their communities, and alongside our caucus, they will fight to protect health care for families, stop the spread of COVID-19, and put Americans back to work.” BOLD PAC invested nearly $6M towards its independent expenditure in support of Latino congressional candidates. ### CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.
