The race figures to test the strength of the abortion rights movement among more conservative Latino voters.Cuellar, who was the only House Democrat to vote against the Women's Health Protection Act, maintains support from party leadership, despite calls from Cisneros to pull their support. He led with 48.4% in the March primary, while Cisneros received 46.9%.Cisneros and her supporters see the news over abortion as something to change the dynamic in the race."On May 24th, we will defeat the last anti-choice Democrat and South Texas will finally have a representative in their corner that will fight for their health care and freedom," she said in a statement on May 4. She said while the majority of the county's older, more religious Latino voters are against abortion, she's seen public opinion change in recent years and more progressive, pro-choice groups become more vocal and active since the draft opinion leak. She noted that while some Latinos don't personally support abortion, they are able to put "their personal beliefs aside for what this means for their communities and their rights."The messaging from Gutierrez's group among Latino voters focuses in part on the disproportionate impact the overturning of Roe could have among people of color."We know the vast majority of Latinas are employed, many are head of households, mothers already, and when you think about the impact already, with the economy as it is, everyone is working hard to put food on the table, support their families with higher cost of living," she said.
