New on “Ya Tu Sabes”: The Danger to Our Democracy Did Not End With the Insurrection on Jan. 6 



Republican extremists and election deniers running for office represent a threat to our electoral system and freedoms 




Washington, D.C. - Today CHC BOLD PAC – the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus – announced the release of its latest two-segment video for its YouTube Channel “Ya Tu Sabes,” focused on the Republican efforts to elect extremists and election deniers in the midterms. 

 

In this new episode of Ya Tu Sabes, BOLD PAC Chairman Rep. Ruben Gallego discusses what he experienced during the Jan. 6 insurrection and informs our Latino community about the GOP’s efforts to continue pushing the same baseless claims about how the 2020 election was stolen. 

 

“We have Latino Republican Members of Congress that are basically supporting these terrorists that tried to overthrow our government,” said BOLD PAC Chairman Rep. Ruben Gallego.

 

Trump’s failed efforts to overturn the 2020 election didn’t culminate with his supporters storming the US Capitol. His GOP enablers, many who are now running for office, are supporting attempts in various states to undermine the will of American voters and steal the next election. 

 

“It's dangerous, in a sense now, that maybe it won't be a physical attempt at overthrowing the government but they’re gonna try to change the voting laws. They’re gonna try to change who counts the votes so that they can stop democracy. So we are in a very grave situation,” said BOLD PAC Chairman Rep. Ruben Gallego. “And right now that’s what you should be really voting on. Who's gonna defend democracy, who's going to actually make sure that we continue this great legacy of this country. And don't let them get away with the lies, with the pendejadas.”

 

The Jan. 6 episodes can be found here in English part 1, part 2 and Spanish. 

 

An estimated 34.5 million Hispanic Americans are eligible to vote this year, making Latinos the fastest-growing racial and ethnic group in the U.S. electorate since the last midterm elections. BOLD PAC will continue releasing videos from now until Election Day to combat Republican misinformation targeting Latinos so they can make informed decisions at the midterms and to help ensure that their ability to elect diverse representatives who reflect their values is not eliminated.


The Ya Tu Sabes YouTube channel launched earlier this summer has over 582,000 views and is already being called a game changer.

Nuevo“Ya Tu Sabes”: El peligro para nuestra democracia no terminó con la insurrección del 6 de enero




Los extremistas republicanos y los que niegan las elecciones que se postulan para el Congreso

representan una amenaza para nuestro sistema electoral y nuestras libertades.




Washington, D.C. – Hoy, CHC BOLD PAC, el brazo de campaña del Caucus Hispano del Congreso, anunció el lanzamiento de su último video de dos segmentos, para su canal de YouTube "Ya Tu Sabes", centrado en los esfuerzos republicanos para elegir a los extremistas y los que niegan las elecciones, en las elecciones intermedias.

 

En este nuevo episodio de Ya Tu Sabes, el presidente del BOLD PAC, el Representante Rubén Gallego, habla sobre lo que experimentó durante la insurrección del 6 de enero e informa a nuestra comunidad latina sobre los esfuerzos del partido republicano para continuar impulsando las mismas mentiras sin fundamento, sobre el supuesto robo de las elecciones de 2020.

 

“Tenemos miembros republicanos latinos en el Congreso que básicamente están apoyando a estos terroristas que intentaron derrocar a nuestro gobierno”, dijo el presidente de BOLD PAC, el Representante Rubén Gallego.

 

Los esfuerzos fallidos de Trump para anular las elecciones de 2020 no culminaron con la insurrección por parte de sus seguidores en el Capitolio. Sus facilitadores republicanos, muchos de los cuales ahora se postulan para cargos públicos, están apoyando los intentos en varios estados para socavar la voluntad de los votantes estadounidenses y robar las próximas elecciones.

 

“Es peligroso, en cierto sentido ahora, que tal vez no sea un intento físico de derrocar al gobierno, sino que intentarán cambiar las leyes electorales. Van a intentar cambiar quién cuenta los votos para poder frenar la democracia. Así que estamos en una situación muy grave”, dijo el presidente de BOLD PAC, el Representante Rubén Gallego. “Y en este momento eso es por lo que realmente se debería estar votando. Quién va a defender la democracia, quién va a asegurarse de que continuemos con este gran legado de este país. Y que ellos no se salgan con sus mentiras, con pendejadas”.

 

Los episodios del 6 de enero se pueden encontrar aquí en inglés parte 1, parte 2 y español.

 

Se estima que 34,5 millones de hispanoamericanos son elegibles para votar este año, lo que convierte a los latinos en el grupo racial y étnico de más rápido crecimiento dentro del electorado de EE. UU. desde las últimas elecciones intermedias. BOLD PAC continuará publicando videos desde ahora hasta el día de las elecciones para combatir la desinformación republicana dirigida a los latinos, para que ellos puedan tomar decisiones informadas en las elecciones de medio término y ayudar a garantizar que no se elimine su capacidad de elegir representantes diversos que reflejen sus valores.

 

El canal de YouTube “Ya Tu Sabes”, que se lanzó a principios de este verano, tiene más de 582.000 visitas y ya se lo considera un agente de cambio.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 29, 2025 Contact: Karla Rodriguez Karla@chcboldpac.com BOLD PAC Chair Linda Sánchez Statement on Trump’s 100th Day in Office BOLD PAC Chair Linda Sánchez released the following statement on Donald Trump’s 100th day in office: "Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress have spent their first 100 days making life more expensive for working families — pushing reckless cuts to Social Security, threatening Medicaid, and unleashing chaotic tariffs that are squeezing everyday workers. Trump doesn’t understand what it’s like to worry about putting food on the table, affording a doctor’s visit, or keeping the lights on. But millions of working families do and they’re the ones feeling the pain of his disastrous agenda. Republicans have made it clear that they stand with Trump’s extreme agenda over our communities. In 2026, voters will hold them accountable." ### CHC BOLD PAC , the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 21, 2025 Contact: Karla Rodriguez Karla@chcboldpac.com BOLD PAC Endorses JoAnna Mendoza for Arizona’s 6th Congressional District WASHINGTON, D.C. – As part of its commitment to expanding Latino representation in Congress, CHC BOLD PAC is proud to endorse JoAnna Mendoza for Arizona’s 6th Congressional District. A Marine Corps veteran, single mother, and the daughter of farmworkers, Mendoza embodies the grit and resilience of working families across Arizona. In just 60 days, she raised over $810,000—an impressive display of grassroots strength and undeniable momentum. Mendoza is the candidate to flip this seat and defeat Juan Ciscomani. “JoAnna Mendoza is exactly the kind of leader Washington needs right now – tough, tested, and rooted in community,” said CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez . “She has served our country with honor, and now she’s answering the call to serve again. Juan Ciscomani has spent his time in Congress pushing a dangerous far-right agenda, siding with MAGA extremists, and putting party loyalty over the needs of Arizonans. JoAnna is a battle-tested Marine and a proven leader who knows what true service means. She has what it takes to flip this seat and fight for Arizona’s working families.” "I’m honored to have the support of BOLD PAC — a powerful voice for Latino representation and working families,” said JoAnna Mendoza . “As a proud Latina, Marine veteran, and native Arizonan, I know what it means to fight for opportunity and equity. In Congress, I'm looking forward to standing with BOLD to deliver for our communities and ensure every family gets a fair shot.” ABOUT JOANNA MENDOZA JoAnna Mendoza is a Marine veteran, dedicated public servant, and single mother who has spent her life fighting for her country and her community. Raised in a rural Arizona farming community, she learned the values of hard work and resilience from an early age. Her family often struggled to make ends meet, relying on safety-net programs, shaping her deep commitment to public service. At 17, JoAnna joined the Marines, where she served multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. She became a Drill Instructor, training the next generation of service members. After 20 years of honorable service, she continued her public service as a congressional staffer, a school board member, and a veteran advocate. JoAnna will be a relentless advocate for working families, rural communities, veterans, education, health care, and Arizona’s natural environment.

BOLD PAC Shatters Q1 Fundraising Record, Raises Over $3.2 Million in Push to Take Back the House and Senate

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 3, 2025 Contact: Karla Rodriguez Karla@chcboldpac.com BOLD PAC Shatters Q1 Fundraising Record, Raises Over $3.2 Million in Push to Take Back the House and Senate Washington, D.C. - BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, announced today that it raised over $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2025, marking its strongest Q1 fundraising total ever in an off-year. This record-breaking momentum underscores what Senator Cory Booker and Democrats across the country are saying: the fight to take back the House and Senate is on–and we are fired up. The $3.2 million raised this quarter significantly outpaces BOLD PAC’s Q1 totals in previous off-years. This includes the $2.01 million raised in the first quarter of 2017 when a sea of Democratic energy led the party to flip 43 seats in the House during Donald Trump’s first term. The record-breaking haul underscores how energized and mobilized Democrats are early in the midterm cycle. “Donald Trump is back in the White House, and our communities are already paying the price. He’s damaging our economy, rolling back our rights, threatening our Social Security and Medicare, and doubling down on the same extremist playbook that hurts working families,” said Chairwoman Linda Sánchez . “But we’re not backing down. This historic fundraising total shows how fired up the Democratic base is to hold him accountable. BOLD PAC is channeling that energy into action to protect our communities and take back the House and Senate next year.” ### CHC BOLD PAC , the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

TRUMP’S FIRST MONTH HAS ONLY MADE LIFE MORE EXPENSIVE FOR AMERICANS

By Bold . • March 6, 2025
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 05, 2025 Contact: Karla Rodriguez Karla@chcboldpac.com TRUMP’S FIRST MONTH HAS ONLY MADE LIFE MORE EXPENSIVE FOR AMERICANS WASHINGTON, D.C. – As President Trump delivered his first speech to a Joint Session of Congress, one fact is clear: his first month in office has done nothing to bring down costs for working families — in fact, he’s hurting their pocketbooks. Instead of fighting to lower prices at the grocery store, reduce the cost of prescription drugs, or lower the costs of housing, Trump has spent his time: Ignoring the spike in egg prices, with the national average hitting $5 in his first month back. Eggs shouldn’t be a luxury. Pressuring Republicans to pass a budget resolution that would cut $2 billion in federal Medicaid funds from each congressional district, gutting health care for 15.9 million Americans . Rolling back an executive order from the Biden administration to lower prescription drug prices to $2. Admitting—twice —that lowering costs and making life more affordable is not his top priority . “Donald Trump promised to help working Americans, but his first month back in the White House has been a disaster for their wallets,” said Chairwoman Linda Sánchez . “He’s proving once again that he’s only looking out for himself while Latino families foot the bill. BOLD PAC remains committed to electing leaders who will put working families first. We won’t let Trump’s disastrous policies go unchecked.” 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.
