In 2009, a small group of civic minded Cuban Americans came to the realization that Hispanics, in Florida, needed a voice and the Cuban Americans for a Better Florida (CABF) was born. We were formed as a non-partisan group, with members from all political parties and perspectives. The CABF educated ourselves on what the Hispanic community was all about and we came to a conclusion that educating Hi
spanic voters regarding the local races and candidates would serve as a valuable civic service. Thus, The Hispanic Vote was born. Like the CABF, The Hispanic Vote was formed as a non-partisan group, with members from all political parties and perspectives. The Hispanic Vote endorses candidates and in the last few election cycles, The Hispanic Vote has issued numerous endorsement letters, printed hundreds of thousands of palm cards, placed numerous ads in several publications, and covered just about every polling station, across the county, in support of our candidates. In the last election cycle, 85% of candidates who received The Hispanic Vote endorsement; won their elections. The Hispanic Vote is currently in Broward County, Palm Beach County, and in Southwest Florida. We must never forget that we are Hispanic by birth, American by the grace of God and we must always practice one of our most under-utilized rights…our right to vote.
