Presidential Campaign Watch: UFW Labor Activist Dolores Huerta Endorses Vice President Kamala Harris for President

Why it matters: Huerta, who co-founded the United Farm Workers with Cesar Chavez in the early 1960s, is an influential voice among Latino voters who Harris needs to help propel her to the presidency — especially in swing states.

Zoom in: Huerta is scheduled to stump for Harris on Thursday with campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez at an event in a Phoenix neighborhood with a large Hispanic population.

  • “I’ve known Kamala Harris for a long time — and I’ve seen firsthand how she fights relentlessly for Latino communities, working families, and for every American,” Huerta said in a statement.
  • “Today, I’m thrilled to endorse Vice President Harris to be our next president of the United States, because I know she’ll be our fierce champion in the White House.”

Flashback: Huerta and Harris go way back to the vice president’s days in California politics.

  • Huerta endorsed and campaigned with Harris when she ran for California Attorney General in 2010.
  • She also endorsed Harris during her 2020 bid for president and co-chaired her campaign.

What they’re saying: “Vice President Harris has been an unwavering champion of the civil rights and labor movement her entire career, and she’s honored to earn the support of Latina civil rights leader Dolores Huerta,” Chavez Rodriguez said in a statement to Axios.

What we’re watching: Harris has a track record of turning out Latino voters in California — which has the country’s largest Hispanic population — but nationally, she’s less well-known in Latino communities.

  • How her campaign engages with Latinos will be key to her bid for president.

Campaña presidencial:

La activista de la Unión de Campesinos (UFW) Dolores Huerta, respalda a la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris para la presidencia

¿Por qué es importante? Huerta, quien cofundó la Unión de Campesinos con César Chávez a principios de los años 60, es una voz influyente entre los votantes latinos, que Harris necesita para ayudarla a llegar a la presidencia, especialmente en los estados clave.

Acercamiento: Huerta tiene previsto hacer campaña por Harris el jueves, junto a la directora de campaña Julie Chávez Rodríguez, en un barrio de Phoenix, con muchos residentes hispanos.

  • “Conozco a Kamala Harris desde hace mucho tiempo y he visto de primera mano cómo lucha incansablemente por la comunidad latina, las familias trabajadoras y por todos los estadounidenses”, dijo Huerta en un comunicado.
  • “Estoy encantada de respaldarla, para que sea nuestra próxima presidenta de los Estados Unidos, porque sé que será nuestra feroz defensora, en la Casa Blanca”.

Recuerdos: Los días de Huerta y Harris se remontan a cuando la vicepresidenta fue política en California.

  • ​​Huerta respaldó e hizo campaña con Harris cuando se postuló como Fiscal General de California en 2010.
  • También respaldó a Harris durante su candidatura a la presidencia en 2020 y copresidió la campaña.

Lo que dicen: “La vicepresidenta Harris ha sido una defensora inquebrantable del movimiento de derechos civiles y laborales durante toda su carrera, y se siente honrada de tener el apoyo de la líder latina Dolores Huerta”, declaró Chávez Rodríguez a Axios.

Lo que se observa: Harris tiene historial de movilizar a los votantes latinos en California, con la población hispana más grande del país, aunque a nivel nacional, es menos conocida en las comunidades latinas.

  • La forma en que su campaña interactúe con los latinos será clave para su candidatura a la presidencia.
