Join the UCLA Latino Policy and Politics Initiative and the UF Samuel Proctor Oral History Program for a dynamic panel discussion that will focus on Latino political candidates in Florida, their platforms, their electoral base, the issues taking center stage in this election cycle, and the political implications that the races in Florida will have for the rest of the country.

The best way to understand what is at stake during the upcoming 2022 midterm elections is to speak with community organizers, elected officials, and political candidates. Looking Ahead, The Politics of Florida and the 2022 Midterm Elections focuses on the community organizers who are working on the ground to mobilize Florida voters, the elected officials who are championing new progressive policies, and the candidates who hope to secure office and lead Florida through a period of ongoing recovery. Uplifting the stories of Floridians during the 2022 midterms provides a playbook for states facing similar electoral shifts and hoping to enact bold, impactful policy reforms.
