TERESA BENITEZ-THOMPSON

A FIGHTER FOR NEVADA

Teresa’s path to public service was shaped by her upbringing. While her mother worked tirelessly as a waitress, Teresa knew that her sister and her family would need more support than they could provide themselves. She joined the Nevada Empowered Women’s Project to change an existing law that would force her sister to sacrifice her education in order to qualify for food assistance programs. She testified in front of the Nevada State Legislature and succeeded in changing the law, allowing her sister and women like her to pursue higher education while raising their children

Teresa went on to work as a social worker, helping place children with special needs into adoptive families. She later spent a decade supporting terminally ill patients. Her commitment to advocacy led her to run for the Nevada State Assembly, where she served for 12 years and held multiple terms as Majority Leader. Most recently, she served as Chief of Staff to Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford, where she worked to protect Nevadans from attacks by the Trump administration.

Now, Teresa is stepping up to serve Nevada's 2nd Congressional District, fighting to lower costs, protect jobs, and improve our health care system—because Nevada families deserve it.

CHC BOLD PAC Calls on DNC to Make Nevada the Nation’s First Presidential Primary, Elevate Latino Voters Ahead of 2028

By Bold . • June 25, 2026

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: June 25, 2026 Contact: press@chcboldpac.com CHC BOLD PAC Calls on DNC to Make Nevada the Nation’s First Presidential Primary, Elevate Latino Voters Ahead of 2028 WASHINGTON D.C. – As part of its commitment to expanding Latino representation in Congress, today CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, is calling on the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee to make Nevada the First in the Nation presidential primary. Cycle after cycle, Latino voters play a critical role in determining election outcomes, and the 2028 presidential election will be no different. Latinos were vital to re-electing Catherine Cortez Masto, the nation’s only Latina U.S. Senator, in 2022, and re-electing Senator Jacky Rosen in 2024. CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez released the following statement in support of making Nevada the first nominating state in the Democratic presidential primary calendar: “As the fastest-growing community in the nation and across the battleground states, Latino voters remain powerful voices in determining election outcomes. If Democrats want to flip the White House in 2028 and continue winning up and down the ballot, we must prioritize Latino voices through early outreach and meaningful engagement in the presidential nominating process. No state better represents the broad coalition of diverse working-class voters that our party must build in order to be successful than Nevada. Elevating a battleground state with the fifth highest share of Latinos to kick off the nominating process ensures our party puts forth a nominee who can succeed in a general election and sets us up to elect Democratic majorities to the House and Senate. As we did in 2022, we are again imploring the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee to make Nevada first in the nation and make lasting gains as Latino voters become even more decisive in future election cycles.” Background on Nevada According to the 2020 U.S. Census Index , Nevada was rated the third most diverse state in America. The state’s population is majority-minority, with nearly 1 million Latinos, making it the only state vying to host the First in the Nation primary that is home to a major Latino electorate. In recent years, the Latino community has become the country's second-largest voting bloc by ethnicity and a decisive factor in state and national races. Nevada is also a battle-tested early state, having been the First in the West since the 2008 election cycle, as well as one of the most consistently competitive general election battlegrounds in the country. ### CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress. Since its founding, BOLD PAC has more than doubled the size of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. *** PARA DISTRIBUCIÓN INMEDIATA: 25 de junio de 2026 Contacto: press@chcboldpac.com CHC BOLD PAC pide al DNC que convierta a Nevada en la primera primaria presidencial del país y eleve la voz de los votantes latinos rumbo a 2028 WASHINGTON D.C. – Como parte de su compromiso con ampliar la representación latina en el Congreso, CHC BOLD PAC, el brazo político del Caucus Hispano del Congreso, hace un llamado al Comité de Reglas y Estatutos del Comité Nacional Demócrata (DNC) para que Nevada sea la primera primaria presidencial del país. Elección tras elección, los votantes latinos desempeñan un papel fundamental en la definición de los resultados electorales, y la elección presidencial de 2028 no será la excepción. Los latinos fueron clave para la reelección de Catherine Cortez Masto, la única senadora latina de Estados Unidos, en 2022, así como para la reelección de la senadora Jacky Rosen en 2024. La presidenta de CHC BOLD PAC, Linda Sánchez , emitió la siguiente declaración en apoyo a que Nevada sea el primer estado en el calendario de primarias presidenciales del Partido Demócrata: “Como la comunidad de más rápido crecimiento en el país y en los estados clave para las elecciones, los votantes latinos siguen siendo una fuerza determinante en los resultados electorales. Si los demócratas quieren recuperar la Casa Blanca en 2028 y seguir obteniendo victorias en todos los niveles de gobierno, debemos dar prioridad a las voces latinas desde el inicio del proceso de nominación presidencial. Ningún estado representa mejor la amplia coalición de votantes diversos y de clase trabajadora que nuestro partido necesita construir para alcanzar el éxito de Nevada. Dar prioridad a un estado clave con la quinta mayor proporción de población latina para iniciar el proceso de nominación ayuda a garantizar que nuestro partido presente una candidatura capaz de triunfar en una elección general y fortalece nuestras posibilidades de elegir mayorías demócratas en la Cámara de Representantes y el Senado. Tal como lo hicimos en 2022, hacemos nuevamente un llamado al Comité de Reglas y Estatutos del DNC para que Nevada ocupe el primer lugar en el calendario de nominación presidencial y así consolidar avances duraderos, mientras los votantes latinos continúan desempeñando un papel cada vez más decisivo en los futuros ciclos electorales.” Datos sobre Nevada Según el Índice del Censo de los Estados Unidos de 2020 , Nevada fue clasificado como el tercer estado más diverso del país. Su población es mayoritariamente de minorías raciales y étnicas, incluyendo cerca de un millón de latinos, lo que lo convierte en el único estado que busca albergar la primera elección primaria de la nación con un electorado latino de gran peso. En los últimos años, la comunidad latina se ha consolidado como el segundo bloque electoral más grande del país por origen étnico y como un factor decisivo en las elecciones estatales y nacionales. Además, Nevada cuenta con una larga trayectoria como estado clave en el proceso electoral, al haber sido el primero en el Oeste desde el ciclo electoral de 2008 y uno de los estados más competitivos en las elecciones generales a nivel nacional. ### CHC BOLD PAC, el brazo de campaña del Caucus Hispano del Congreso, fue fundado en 2001 para aumentar la representación latina en el Congreso.

He is, in every sense, exactly the kind of person Donald Trump's deportation strategy was built to target. He has taken the Trump administration to court, refused to hand ICE a blank check, and has already proven he’ll never stop fighting when it matters. That’s why we stand with Adriano, and have endorsed him for re-election on June 23.” ### CHC BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.
