Bold PAC, the caucus's campaign arm, deemed Gallego's race a top priority. If he wins, he'll be the PAC's fifth senator. Gallego used to serve as Bold PAC's chairman, but he stepped down in March to pursue the Senate race."As the son of immigrants from Colombia and Mexico raised by a single mother, Ruben Gallego knows the challenges that every day families face," Bold PAC Chairwoman Linda Sanchez said in a statement.
"His years of service to the country show that he will be a leader who won’t be afraid to stand up to injustice and extremism, and who will fight for working families everywhere," Sanchez said."We’re proud to stand with Ruben in his campaign to represent the people of Arizona in the Senate and to continue fighting alongside him for Latinos across the country.”
"Bold PAC does excellent work electing Latinos, who are still underrepresented in elected office, to Congress," Gallego said."30% of Arizona’s population is Latino, and yet, we have never had a Latino senator. I am running to change that and deliver results for all Arizonans." The Arizona representative has been critical of Sinema since before she switched from the Democratic Party to become an independent following the 2022 midterm elections.
