Outcome of Key Contests Will Influence Path Forward on Immigration Reform Next Year

Today, America’s Voice releases a spotlight on fourteen competitive House races of importance to Latino and Asian voters and all those who care about common sense immigration reform.  The analysis evaluates the power of the Latino and Asian voter community in these Congressional Districts and summarizes where each U.S. House candidate stands on the issue of immigration reform.  America’s Voice released a similar spotlight on Senate races to watch last week.

America’s Voice’s House Races to Watch:

  • AZ-09: Krysten Sinema (D) v. Vernon Parker (R)
  • CA-07: Ami Berra (D) v. Rep. Dan Lungren (R), incumbent
  • CA-10: Jose Hernandez (D), v. Rep. Jeff Denham (R), incumbent
  • CA-26: Julia Brownley (D), v. Tony Strickland (R)
  • CA-30: Rep. Howard Berman (D), incumbent v. Rep. Brad Sherman (D), incumbent
  • CA-52: Scott Peters (D) v. Rep. Brian Bilbray (R), incumbent
  • CO-06: Joe Miklosi (D), v. Rep. Mike Coffman (R), incumbent
  • FL-18: Patrick Murphy (D) v. Rep. Allen West (R)
  • FL-22: Lois Frankel (D) v. Adam Hasner (R)
  • IL-08: Tammy Duckworth (D) v. Rep. Joe Walsh (R), incumbent
  • IA-04: Christie Vilsack (D) v. Rep. Steve King (R), incumbent
  • NV-03: John Oceguera (D) v. Rep. Joe Heck (R), incumbent
  • NV-04: Steven Horsford (D) vs. Danny Tarkanian (R)
  • TX-23: Pete Gallego (D) v. Rep. Francisco “Quico” Canseco (R), incumbent

The outcome of these close congressional races will mean the difference between sending another supporter of immigration reform to Congress, or another opponent.  That is why it’s so important for all voters who care about immigrants and common sense immigration reform to make their voices heard this November.
