EL TIEMPO LATINO:
Joe Vogel, la nueva generación de demócratas que aspira al Congreso
Milagros Meléndez | 11 de enero, 2024
Key Excerpts:
BOLD PAC Presidenta Linda Sánchez:
- “Joe tiene muchas cualidades excelentes, pero la principal de ellas es su compromiso con la lucha contra el cambio climático, la violencia armada y los ataques a nuestros sistemas e instituciones democráticas”, dijo Sánchez, quien ha estado en el Congreso desde hace 20 años y preside la Organización Política del Caucus Hispano del Congreso (BOLD PAC).
“Siendo el primer líder gay, latino, de la Generación Z que se postula para el Congreso, aporta una perspectiva fresca y nuevas ideas a una institución que, francamente, no siempre se parece a los Estados Unidos que se supone que debe representar”, añadió Sánchez.
BOLD PAC Endorsed Candidate Joe Vogel (MD-06):
- “Necesitamos líderes que pongan fin a la toxicidad, a la división y al ruido y que se concentren en brindar resultados para la gente de nuestro estado. Soy el único candidato con un plan político detallado y con experiencia en un entorno legislativo”, dijo Vogel al invitar a los votantes a ingresar a su web www.joevogel.org, en la cual explica su plataforma política, abordando 17 temas, desde creación de mejores plazas de trabajo y protección a la libertad de reproducción hasta planes concretos de inmigración y protección del medio ambiente”.
“La prioridad será trabajar con la SBA y crear más de estos programas para lograr acceso al capital. Sabemos que las empresas latinas son las que tienen mayores problemas para obtener este tipo de préstamos y capital al inicio de la formación del negocio”, dijo Vogel.
“Los beneficiarios de DACA están haciendo inmensas contribuciones a nuestra comunidad. Son médicos, abogados, educadores, organizadores comunitarios, científicos y empresarios…El programa, que permite a estos jóvenes vivir y trabajar en el único país que han conocido, sigue siendo atacado por políticos republicanos y jueces conservadores. De ser elegido, lucharé para proteger el programa”, dijo Vogel.

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. Since its founding, BOLD PAC has more than doubled the size of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

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.

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.

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.

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.
