Something BIG is happening in Starr County, Texas…
And CV’s Senior Political Advisor Steve Cortes went there to find out for himself.
Starr County is the most Hispanic county in America at 97% Latino. And it also has been a solidly Democratic stronghold for decades. But in a stunning 76-point swing, voters flipped to Trump in the 2024 election.
Why? Because Trump treated them like fellow Americans while Democrats walked away from their core values.
This isn’t a fluke. It’s a movement.
In a groundbreaking documentary, CatholicVote Senior Political Advisor Steve Cortes went to Starr County to explore President Trump’s historic gains among Hispanic voters. Steve shows how Hispanic communities – which have always held strong pro-life, pro-family values – are finally waking up to the political realities around them.
As one interviewee puts it, “Hispanics didn’t change. They’ve always been conservative. Our values have always aligned more with the Republican party.”
“…but [we] didn’t know it.”
And this isn’t just about voting. It’s about Hispanic communities across the country realizing they’re part of something bigger: the America-First movement.
A movement that prioritizes America’s workers, not one that pushes radical, divisive agendas.
Mayra Flores, a former U.S. Representative in South Texas, says it best: “I was raised with strong conservative values, I’m not willing to put them aside for a political party. I’m loyal to God, my family, and my community, not a party that’s done nothing for us for over a hundred years.”
This is a game-changer.
For the first time, Hispanic communities are realizing that their values have always aligned with conservative, pro-life, pro-family principles – they just didn’t know it until now.
At CatholicVote, we’re not just observing this shift – we’re driving it. We’re building a dedicated Hispanic advocacy effort to engage and empower Hispanic communities nationwide. We’re organizing, mobilizing, and providing the resources they need to fight for the issues that matter most – everything from defending the sanctity of life to supporting policies that protect families and promote faith.
Here’s the truth: This is the investment that will change everything for CatholicVote. Why? Because the shifts we’re seeing today among Hispanic Americans will shape every upcoming election… and we know that elections matter.
I promise you – what we do now to help more Hispanic voters wake up to the truth about America First will pay huge dividends for years to come.
If we want to build a permanent Catholic majority that defends life, family, and faith, we can’t afford to let this moment slip away. We need to stand with Hispanic communities now more than ever.
What we’re doing right now will reshape American politics for years to come.
What’s happening in Starr County needs to happen everywhere.
Let’s harness this momentum and get to work.
