An NPR policy analysis presents an overview of the views and concerns of Latino voters in South Milwaukee, Wisconsin, regarding President Biden's administration and the political landscape in general. Jennifer Nuno, a voter who voted for Biden hoping for positive change, expresses her displeasure with the perceived lack of progress on issues important to her community, such as the high cost of living and the president's lack of practical impact on the lives of Latinos in Milwaukee.


Also noteworthy is the Republican Part’'s interest in winning the Latino vote in the region, with investments in resources and the opening of a Hispanic Community Center. Hilario Deleon, chairman of the Milwaukee County Republican Party, is touring minority neighborhoods with the message that conservatives have better solutions to issues like jobs and high food prices.


On the other hand, Democrats remain confident in their ability to win the Latino vote and highlight the efforts of the organization Voces de la Frontera in mobilizing Latino voters and bolstering political participation. However, there are concerns that Democrats need to maintain their margin of victory due to the demographic growth of the Latino community, especially among young people.


Wisconsin is not known for the power of its Latino vote, but in a state with such tiny margins even a small shift can have a big impact on national politics. […] Biden won Wisconsin by less than 25,000 votes in 2020. Trump won the state in 2016 by roughly the same number of votes”.


The analysis speaks of Mario Juarez, a Latino and gay businessman, who shares his political evolution, moving from a more liberal vision to a position more aligned with the Republican Party. It highlights concerns about Biden's political agenda and issues related to what he calls gender ideology.


Overall, the text offers a comprehensive look at the political dynamics among Latino voters in Milwaukee, highlighting their concerns, challenges, and the strategies of political parties to win their vote in future elections. Jennifer Nuno, as an example, illustrates the sense of disenchantment among some Latino voters who have hoped for concrete changes in their lives and are willing to consider candidates from both parties as long as they offer practical solutions to the issues that matter to them.
