AUSTIN, Texas — Latino voters boosted Sen. Bernie Sanders on Super Tuesday, coming through for him after a big investment in the community by his presidential campaign.
Texas is the home state of Chuck Rocha, a senior Sanders adviser, in a campaign that has raised more money than any other candidate from the Latino community. The campaign has put a lot of those resources back into turning out Latinos, particularly younger voters. There was a question mark on how Sanders would do in Texas because of the more moderate or conservative views of some Texas Latinos.
“He’s very genuine. He does care about people. He cares about the Earth. I think that’s a major thing. The fact that our current president doesn’t acknowledge that that is a huge issue is really concerning,” Rojas said. Sanders' campaign targeted voters registered with no party preference because many Latinos choose that category.
Janet Benavides Zarate, 41, who lives in the Austin bedroom community of Pflugerville, Texas, cast her ballot for Biden. She said she was torn between Biden and Sanders and decided between Monday and Super Tuesday to go with Biden.
