CHC BOLD PAC condemns crypto spending in Arizona race

News: Rep. Linda Sánchez (D-Calif.), the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus’ political arm, is blasting a cryptocurrency-backed PAC for spending against a Latina candidate in Arizona’s 3rd District.

CHC BOLD PAC has endorsed Raquel Terán in the Democratic primary to succeed Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) in a deep-blue seat. But in a scathing statement first shared with Punchbowl News, Sánchez is slamming Protect Progress for its $1 million-plus ad buy boosting Democrat Yassamin Ansari.

“This is a blatant effort by an outside group to silence the voices of over half a million Latinos in a majority-Latino district in order to buy a seat in Congress,” Sánchez said.

Here’s more from Sánchez:

The BOLD PAC chair notes that the district is 65% Hispanic and Terán would make history if elected as the first Latina to represent Arizona in the House.

Terán has also been endorsed by Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) and Planned Parenthood Action Fund in the Democratic primary.

Also: EMILYs List is endorsing Delaware Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long to be the next governor of the state.
