FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 18, 2025 Contact: valeria@chcboldpac.com CHC BOLD PAC Endorses Lisa Ramirez in CA-40 Ramirez Represents a Wave of Latinos Fighting Trump’s Immigration Overreach WASHINGTON, D.C. — CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, proudly announces its endorsement of Lisa Ramirez for California’s 40th Congressional District. Ramirez represents the future of Democratic leadership: a future built on people over power, livable wages, and a place where the Constitution and rule of law ensure no one is above the law or legal system. “Democrats are ready to take back the House, and Lisa Ramirez will be a key part in CA-40,” said Chairwoman Linda Sánchez. “Lisa represents the best of our community–hard work, service, and a deep commitment to opportunity and justice. She’s the kind of leader who will fight for our values and flip this critical seat blue.” “I’m honored to have the support of CHC BOLD PAC as we fight to restore compassion, due process, and accountability in our immigration system. I’ve seen firsthand how Trump’s reckless deportation agenda has torn families apart—and like so many in our community, I refuse to stay silent,” said Lisa Ramirez. “In Congress, I’ll stand up to extremism and work to deliver real solutions that keep our families safe, united, and respected under the law.” Lisa Ramirez is an immigration attorney best known for helping free a detained migrant father of three U.S. Marine sons. The Administration’s lack of due process in their immigration rampage has motivated Ramirez to run and fight for her community. California’s 40th district is one of the top battlegrounds for Democrats in the path to reclaiming the House majority. With a fast-growing Latino population and a clear contrast between Lisa’s vision and the extremism of MAGA Republicans, this district is ready for change. ### CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

Es el tipo de líder que luchará por nuestros valores y conseguirá que este escaño tan importante pase a manos demócratas”. “Es un honor contar con el apoyo de CHC BOLD PAC en nuestra lucha por restaurar la compasión, el debido proceso y la responsabilidad en nuestro sistema de inmigración.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 11, 2025 Contact: valeria@chcboldpac.com, liz@electdemocraticwomen.org CHC BOLD PAC and Elect Democratic Women: Marlene Galán-Woods Poised to Flip AZ-01 Against Trump-Backed GOP Opponent New Poll Shows Galán-Woods Leading Republican Opponent Gina Swoboda by 8 Points, Dominating Among Independents WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, CHC BOLD PAC and Elect Democratic Women (EDW) released new polling showing Marlene Galán-Woods leading Trump-endorsed Republican Gina Swoboda in Arizona’s 1st Congressional District, a critical battleground seat that will help decide control of the House in 2026. The latest data from Clarity Campaign Labs confirms what supporters across Arizona already know: Marlene has what it takes to defeat MAGA Republican Gina Swoboda and flip this seat blue. Despite Donald Trump carrying AZ-01 by 3 points in 2024, the new poll shows that Trump’s brand is now underwater in the district—and so is Swoboda’s. Meanwhile, Galán-Woods enters the race with stronger name recognition, higher favorables, and a decisive lead among independents. The full polling memo is available here. Key Highlights: Marlene begins with a stronger foundation than Swoboda. Galán-Woods’ favorability is net positive (+1%), while Swoboda is already underwater at net -5%. Marlene’s profile resonates strongly with a general electorate. Galán-Woods leads Swoboda 48% to 40% after voters learn about both candidates. Marlene’s profile is especially powerful among independent voters. Galán-Woods’ support with independents is more than double that of Swoboda and she leads 54% to 25%. Marlene also picks up substantial crossover support from Republicans, which will be critical to flipping this seat, winning 10% of Republicans against Swoboda. “Arizona’s first district will be key for flipping the House in 2026, and Marlene is not just competitive, she’s ahead,” said CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez. “Voters are rejecting Trump’s extremism and rallying behind a Latina leader who understands their everyday struggles. Democrats lost this seat by just 3.8% in 2024, and Latinos make up 16.4% of this district. It’s clear that we can flip this seat with a leader that Latino voters can believe in.” AZ-01 is a top-tier pickup opportunity for Democrats, and this poll shows that margin is within reach. Galán-Woods’ momentum reflects broader shifts across Latino and swing voters in Arizona. It’s clear that Trump’s extreme tactics have gone too far, and Latino voters are the key to flipping AZ-01. “The path to taking back the House runs through women like Marlene Galán-Woods,” said Rep. Lois Frankel, Chair of Elect Democratic Women. “Marlene has built a strong coalition of supporters who know she’ll always stand up to extremists, work to lower costs, and fight for Arizonans. Voters are ready to send a mom, journalist, and fighter to Congress.” BOLD PAC and EDW are fully committed to flipping AZ-01 and elevating Marlene’s campaign as the national model for how Democrats can win in tough districts—by building broad, multiracial, multigenerational coalitions rooted in shared values and economic fairness. About Marlene Galán-Woods Marlene Galán-Woods is a former broadcast journalist and mother of five who has lived in Arizona for the past 36 years. Her parents fled communist Cuba looking for a better life. Their risk paid off and allowed Marlene to pursue her career as an investigative journalist, which brought her to Arizona. She met the love of her life, Grant Woods, and they raised a family together before he passed away in 2021. Marlene is running for Congress to stand up to extremists and be a voice for all Arizonans. Marlene is the only woman and Latina in the race. Last cycle, when Marlene ran for Congress, Republicans spent thousands of dollars against her in the Democratic primary because they knew she was the Democrat who could win and flip this seat in the general election. Marlene’s growing coalition includes endorsements from EMILYs List, AZ Attorney General Kris Mayes, former AZ Governor Janet Napolitano, and multiple labor unions. About CHC BOLD PAC CHC BOLD PAC is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and is dedicated to increasing diversity in the House and Senate by helping more Latinos get elected. CHC BOLD PAC led an unprecedented effort in the 2024 cycle, investing $6.15 million in independent expenditures – the largest in BOLD’s history.

He is committed to lifting up Colorado communities as an attorney and state legislator. Manny is ready to bring his experience to Congress, fighting for working families and ensuring every Coloradan has a voice in Washington. Robin Peguero, Candidate for Florida 27th Congressional District “BOLD PAC is enthusiastically endorsing Robin Peguero for Florida's 27th Congressional District. Robin represents the best of Miami — he’s a son of immigrants and a prosecutor who has dedicated his life to justice, fairness, and giving back to the community that raised him. He’s spent his career putting criminals and predators behind bars to make our streets safer. Robin will continue to fight for working families, protect his community, and deliver real results for South Florida,” said Chairwoman Linda Sánchez. “I’m proud to receive BOLD PAC’s endorsement.

Mendoza leads 42% to 41% in the head-to-head matchup—momentum that comes on the heels of her strong Q3 fundraising, where she outraised Ciscomani and posted over $1.9 million in grassroots support since launching her campaign. Meanwhile, Ciscomani’s support is crumbling: the poll finds nearly half of voters disapprove of his performance in Congress. That’s no surprise. Ciscomani has backed extreme MAGA policies—from slashing health care and rubber-stamping Trump’s reckless tariff agenda, to protecting tax breaks for billionaires while working Arizonans fall further behind. JoAnna Mendoza—a retired Marine, daughter of farmworkers, and working mom—is channeling the frustration Arizonans feel into a people-powered campaign that’s building serious momentum to flip this seat blue in 2026. ### CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

Original Article: La Opinión 10/15/2025 The path to winning Latino voters isn’t a mystery. It starts with investing in candidates. That’s what BOLD PAC has done for 24 years During Hispanic Heritage Month, we honor the generations of Latinos and Latinas who’ve shaped this country, often without the power, recognition, or resources we deserve. Our communities are foundational to this country’s success, and our leadership should be too. At CHC BOLD PAC–the political arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus–we know what it takes to win Latino voters because we’ve done it. While other campaigns lose ground, BOLD candidates outperform because we invest in candidates who can win. We proudly backed Senator Ruben Gallego, who earned overwhelming Latino support in Arizona. We stood with candidates like Rep. Maxwell Frost, Rep. Sam Liccardo, and Rep. Andrea Salinas through incredibly tough primaries, often winning against the odds. That’s why we’re all in for the next generation of Latina leaders who are ready to flip key Republican-held seats: Marlene Galán-Woods (AZ-01), JoAnna Mendoza (AZ-06), Denise Powell (NE-02), and Carol Obando-Derstine (PA-07). But too often, Latino leaders are told to wait their turn, or their lived experience isn’t quite the right fit, or that someone else is better suited to run. Even in districts powered by Latino voters, we see decisions made far from the communities most impacted. It’s a pattern we know too well, and it holds our country and our community back. The path to winning Latino voters isn’t a mystery. It starts with investing in candidates. That’s what BOLD PAC has done for 24 years, and that’s why we win with our community. If we want to reach Latino voters, we can’t start by sidelining the very leaders the community trusts. Because if investments are not in line with priorities, we risk losing ground in the very battlegrounds we can’t afford to. Hispanic Members and candidates have shown what’s possible when Latino leadership is uplifted. As Hispanic Heritage Month ends, let’s not just commit to reflect the country we live in, but to reflect the country we’re building. Democrat Rep. Linda Sánchez represents District 38 in California, which has a 61.70% Hispanic population. Sánchez is Chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus BOLD PAC. 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 2, 2025 Contact: valeria@chcboldpac.com CHC BOLD PAC’s Candidates Lead Charge to Flip the House and End Republican Dysfunction Chairwoman Linda Sánchez and battleground Latina candidates slam Republican-led shutdown and lay out path to Democratic majority Washington, D.C. – Today, BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda T. Sánchez (CA-38) hosted a virtual press conference alongside a slate of Latina congressional candidates to call out the Republican government shutdown and spotlight the growing leadership of Latinas in the fight to flip the House. Democrats only need to flip 3 seats to take back the House. Marlene Galán-Woods (AZ-01), JoAnna Mendoza (AZ-06), Denise Powell (NE-02), Carol Obando-Derstine (PA-07) represent some of the most competitive races in the country – all in districts with sizable Latino populations – and are key to delivering that victory. WATCH THE VIDEO REMARKS HERE With Republicans bringing the government to a halt—jeopardizing health care for millions of Americans and stopping pay for federal workers—BOLD PAC’s Latina candidates made it clear: they’re stepping up to clean up the chaos. As Republicans like David Schweikert (AZ-01) and Don Bacon (NE-02) head for the exits, Latina candidates are stepping in to flip their seats and deliver stability, compassion, and common-sense leadership for their communities. “With Republicans shutting down the government, it’s women—especially Latina women—who are standing up and saying: enough,” said Chairwoman Linda T. Sánchez . “While Republicans are walking away from the mess they created, these women are ready to lead, ready to govern, and ready to flip the House.” CHC BOLD PAC Endorsed Candidates included Marlene Galán-Woods, Candidate for AZ-01 JoAnna Mendoza, Candidate for AZ-06 Denise Powell, Candidate for NE-02 Carol Obando-Derstine, Candidate for PA-07 Each candidate shared how the shutdown is impacting local families—from school lunch programs and SNAP benefits to housing assistance and small business loans—and how their lived experiences as women and moms drive their leadership priorities. “My parents fled Cuba to escape Fidel Castro in the sixties. They fled to come to the United States of America to experience freedoms to come for opportunity, and those are the same freedoms that Trump and Republicans are threatening,” said Marlene Galán-Woods, candidate for AZ-01 . “Health care for children, for our veterans, and for seniors is all at risk because MAGA Republicans, once again, chose to shut down the government instead of protecting Americans' health care. It's shameful. So let's be clear, Republicans own this shutdown. I am so proud to be part of this powerhouse group of Latina candidates backed by BOLD PAC. Let's flip this seat. Let's win back the House of Representatives.” “As a Marine Corps drill instructor, I had the honor of making the next generation of Marines. I know what servant leadership looks like. The only thing scarier than a United States Marine is a mom, and I am both,” said JoAnna Mendoza, candidate for AZ-06 . “The oath I took to defend this country does not expire, and I will not sit back while spineless politicians play games with our lives. I will fight to protect health care, lower costs, and deliver for working families across southern Arizona. That's why I am answering the call to serve again.” “Washington Republicans have made one thing very clear: they’d rather shut down the government than make sure that the people here in my district and Americans all across the country can afford health care. This is completely reckless, and here in my state, that's almost 100,000 people who are going to lose their coverage or have their insurance premiums double,” said Denise Powell, candidate for NE-02. “I'm a fired-up mom that is running for Congress because our communities are really hurting right now, and they deserve better than this mess that Republicans have created for us in DC.” “Our families are already paying the price for this Republican shutdown. Monthly healthcare premiums are rising, and the average enrollee is seeing an increase in premium costs. But here’s the thing, I don't walk away from a challenge. I've cleaned up messes before, and I approach issues head-on,” said Carol Obando-Derstine, candidate for PA-07 . “When I get to Congress, I'll never forget who I'm there to serve. We only need to flip three seats to take back the House in 2026 with the support of CHC BOLD PAC and this powerful slate of Latina candidates. I'm ready to clean house and deliver real results for our district.” BOLD PAC will continue highlighting Latina and Latino leadership across battleground districts, with an aggressive bilingual press and digital strategy focused on cutting through MAGA disinformation and reaching the Latino voters who will decide control of the House in 2026. ###

Original Article: La Opinión 09/26/2025 La demócrata Adelita Grijalva resultó electa al Congreso para representar a Arizona. Grijalva fue la ganadora de la elección especial que se llevó a cabo el martes para cubrir el puesto que dejó vacante su padre en marzo pasado tras su fallecimiento por un cáncer y después de ocupar el cargo por más de dos décadas. Pero mientras la Cámara de Representantes se enfrenta a un impasse por el presupuesto federal y el posible cierre del gobierno, se está gestando una disputa política sobre cuándo exactamente prestará juramento Grijalva. Adelita Grijalva ganó con más del 68% de los votos , pero no es oficialmente miembro del Congreso hasta que preste juramento. Eso podría ocurrir el 7 de octubre, al día siguiente de que la Cámara vuelva a sesionar. Sin embargo, podría posponerse hasta el 14 de octubre o más tarde si el presidente de la Cámara, Mike Johnson, espera la certificación oficial de la votación del secretario de Estado de Arizona . Esperar podría dejar a Grijalva al margen , sin poder votar en algunos temas donde un voto podría marcar la diferencia. “Creo que quizás tenga que ver con que soy el firmante número 218 que impulsa la votación sobre la publicación de los archivos de Epstein. Y, bueno, no lo sé. Así que hay muchas preguntas. Planeo ir a Washington el lunes para una asamblea con otros demócratas. El líder Jeffries nos ha pedido que estemos allí, así que iré. Aunque todavía no tengo un cargo oficial allí, está muy claro que gané estas elecciones por casi 40 puntos”, dijo Grijalva a KGUN9 de Tucson, en una entrevista. Dado que los líderes republicanos de la Cámara han guardado silencio sobre el asunto , un comité demócrata está pidiendo al presidente de la Cámara de Representantes que no demore la juramentación de Grijalva. La presidenta de BOLD PAC, el brazo de campaña del Caucus Hispano, Linda Sánchez , emitió la siguiente declaración a La Opinión: “Los arizonenses del sur se expresaron con claridad al elegir a Adelita Grijalva por un margen abrumador. Cada día que pasa sin que Adelita ocupe un escaño en el Congreso es un día más para que sus electores se vean privados de voz en los temas más importantes, desde la reducción de costos hasta la protección de la atención médica. El presidente Johnson debe hacer su trabajo y otorgarle el escaño a la congresista electa Grijalva de inmediato. Adelita se ha ganado su lugar, y la gente del 7mo. Distrito de Arizona merece su representación ahora”.
