Top issues for Latinos in 2024 US elections: what this voter base cares about most

As the 2024 US elections approach, the Latino electorate, comprising around 36 million eligible voters, is poised to be a decisive force.

Representing roughly 15% of the American electorate, Latinos’ political engagement has surged in recent years, doubling since 2000.

For any candidate aiming to secure their support, understanding the top issues that matter most to this vital demographic is crucial.

Economic concerns take center stage

Economic issues dominate Latino voters’ concerns, with inflation and rising living costs topping the list.

According to the National Latino Voter Poll by UnidosUS conducted in August 2024, 50% of Latino respondents cite these financial challenges as their most pressing concerns.

This mirrors national trends but is particularly acute for Latinos due to the disproportionate impact of economic hardships on low-income families.

Stagnant wages alongside soaring prices have exacerbated financial instability, making economic stability a priority for Latino voters.

Candidates must offer concrete solutions that address these economic pressures to win Latino support.

What Latino voters want: Employment, affordable housing

Employment-related issues are also a significant concern, with 39% of Latino voters prioritizing job growth and workforce development.

The Latino community takes pride in its role as both workers and entrepreneurs, contributing significantly to local economies.

Candidates who propose policies to support small businesses, enhance job training, and encourage workforce development will resonate with Latino voters.

Affordable housing has emerged as a critical issue, with one-third of Latino voters expressing concern over rising rental costs and limited housing options.

The need for affordable housing has intensified as urban areas expand, disproportionately affecting low-income families.

Candidates should advocate for policies that increase investment in affordable housing, regulate rental prices, and support first-time homebuyers.

Gun violence and community safety

Gun violence is another pressing issue for the Latino community, especially in states with large Latino populations like California, Texas, and Florida.

The increase in mass shootings raises significant concerns about public safety.

Candidates must address gun violence prevention in their platforms, focusing on strategies to enhance community safety and tackle underlying issues such as poverty and inadequate mental health services.

As the 2024 elections draw near, addressing these critical issues—economic stability, job opportunities, affordable housing, and gun violence prevention—is essential for any candidate seeking to capture the Latino vote.

Engaging with these concerns not only strengthens Latino communities but also influences the broader political landscape.

Candidates who effectively address these issues will be well-positioned to gain the crucial Latino vote this election season.
