Koch Latino group endorses Youngkin for Virginia governor | TheHill - The Hill

The Libre Initiative on Friday endorsed Virginia Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin, who is competing to become the southern state's first GOP governor since 2014.

Libre's endorsement of Youngkin is aimed at turning out Virginia's Latinos, who comprise 5.5 percent of the state's eligible voters. .

“Like many Latinos in Virginia Glenn Youngkin is a businessman, entrepreneur, and family man.

According to a recent Virginia Emerson College/Nexstar Media Group poll, the state's Hispanic voters favor Youngkin over McAuliffe by a 55 percent to 45 percent margin.

“The Libre Initiative-Virginia is eager to mobilize its grassroots army to connect more Latinos in Virginia to Glenn Youngkin’s vision for the future of Virginia—a place where every person has the freedom and ability to afford and achieve their American Dream," said Michael Monrroy, coalitions director for The Libre Initiative-Virginia. .
