The Republican National Committee (RNC) announced, with two months to go before the midterm elections, that it has organized more than 5,000 events with minority communities so far this cycle. Leading up to the 2022 general election, the Republican National Committee has made a multi-million dollar commitment to continue organizing efforts in minority communities in critical states across the country.

Whether it’s a small business roundtable; a toy, food or school supply drive; preparation for the Citizenship Tests, a cryptocurrency training or a folk-dance class, Republicans meet voters wherever they are, in their own communities. The RNC began this process of outreach to minorities, opening dozens of Community Centers this cycle, earlier than ever before, to ensure Republicans continue to make inroads with minority voters to help the Party achieve their fundamental objective for this year, which consists of recovering the majorities in the House of Representatives and the Senate of the United States.

“The RNC’s purposeful engagement forges the way for stronger relationships with minority communities and a stronger Republican Party. Unlike Democrats, Republicans do not take minority communities for granted, and we will continue to work to earn each vote ahead of November,” said RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.

So far this cycle to date, the RNC has opened more than 38 minority-oriented community centers in Hispanic, African-American, Asian-Pacific American, Jewish, Native American and Veterans communities far and wide. of all country. The state where the RNC has opened the most Hispanic Community Centers is Texas, with four, in Laredo, San Antonio, McAllen and Houston. Florida follows, where three centers operate, in Doral, Tampa and Orlando; two of them have Arizona, in Phoenix and Tucson; California, in Bakersfield and Palmdale, and New Mexico, in Albuquerque and Las Cruces.

There are also RNC Hispanic Community Centers operating in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; The Vegas, Nevada; Allentown, Pennsylvania; Omaha, Nebraska; Oklahoma City, Okla.; Gwinnett County, Georgia; Wenatchee, Washington and Thornton, Colorado.

Each RNC Community Center has a dedicated staff member, recruited from within the community, who is tasked with building relationships with minority voters, recruiting and training local volunteers to conduct voter registration, contact those voters, and attract voters during the campaigns to get out to vote, GOTV.
