For the first time, the state of Nevada, with a large Latino population, will hold an early and therefore influential caucus. TCF's Democracy Fellow, Tova Andrea Wang, will be traveling to the state to provide some first-hand accounts of the efforts there to reach out to the Latino community and get them to participate by the Democratic Party, the unions, and outside organizations. Wang be attending a caucus where there is expected to be high Latino turnout to see how successful those efforts are. View Part I here and Part II here. Check TCF.org for continuing updates
