Somos PAC Responds to President Biden’s Announcement

Washington, D.C. (July 21, 2024) – Today, Somos PAC, which with its sister organization Somos Votantes, runs the largest Latino civic and voter engagement programs in the country, released the following statement from Founder and President Melissa Morales on President Biden’s announcement:

“Doing right by working people by passing historic laws that lowered costs, expanded access to health care and put more money back in the pockets of working families, that's the Joe Biden we’ve known and will be forever grateful to. Muchísimas gracias, President Biden, for your leadership over the past three and a half years and for truly delivering for people like us.

“While candidates may change, the issues working people face every day remain the same. We need a President who will put working people FIRST by providing us with the tools and opportunities we need to build a good life for ourselves and our families: that is why we at Somos PAC are proud to announce our support for Vice President Harris as the Democratic Party's presidential nominee.

“We know that the work we are committed to is not just about the next four months, but the next four years. Somos PAC remains committed to continuing to run the largest independent Latino voter engagement programs in the country in order to defeat Donald Trump and the existential threat that is Project 2025.

“We are ready to make history with Vice President Harris and elect Democrats up and down the ballot.”
