The Latino Donor Collaborative (LDC), a think tank dedicated to producing research that highlights economic opportunities for growth, today unveiled its latest report, “2024 LDC U.S. Latino Voter Report™: The Ever-Evolving U.S. Electoral Landscape.” This comprehensive report dispels the persistent myth that Latinos are politically disengaged and underscores their critical and growing role in shaping U.S. electoral outcomes at both state and national levels.

With Latinos accounting for 71% of U.S. population growth between 2022 and 2023 and representing 13.4% of the electorate—projected to rise to 14.7% (36.2 million) by 2024—their growing political influence is undeniable. As one of the fastest-expanding voter groups, Latinos have seen higher registration and voter growth rates compared to White and Black voters since 2000. This report highlights the transformative role Latinos have played in shaping U.S. elections, showcasing their record voter growth rates and decisive impact on key state outcomes. It also underscores the need for political parties to engage this vital electorate with targeted, authentic outreach efforts.

“The findings in this report shatter the long-held myth that Latinos are disengaged or apolitical,” said Ana Valdez, CEO and President of LDC. “In fact, Latinos are a decisive force in shaping both local and national elections. Political parties can no longer afford to rely on outdated narratives and stereotypes. To truly understand and engage with this vibrant community, they must invest in authentic, meaningful outreach efforts that reflect the real issues Latinos care about.”

“Latino voters are the driving force behind some of the most significant electoral shifts in the U.S.,” said Sol Trujillo, Co-founder and Chairman of LDC. “Our community is young, dynamic, and deeply invested in the future of this country. This isn’t about party loyalty or one-off promises; it’s about addressing the real issues that impact Latino lives. The data in this report makes one thing clear: political leaders who don’t engage meaningfully with Latino voters are missing the mark entirely. We are shaping the future with every vote.”
