The organization Latinos for Tennessee endorsed the new “Latino Americans for Trump” coalition organized by former President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign over the weekend.
The coalition, according to the Trump campaign, is endorsed by “notable members of Latino communities from across the country, leaders in all fields, including industry, trade, education, sports, faith, communications, and elected officials.”
The Trump campaign launched the coalition on Sunday.
Tommy Vallejos (pictured above), the executive director and co-founder of Latinos for Tennessee, was among the original endorsees of the coalition.
Latinos for Tennessee, a conservative organization, says its mission is “rooted in the unwavering principles of faith, the resilience of family, the pursuit of freedom, and a commitment to fiscal responsibility.”
The Latino Americans for Trump website includes an exclusive online merchandise shop for the coalition and resources for voters including checking voter registration information and directions on how to request an absentee ballot.
The website also details the former president’s accomplishments for the Latino community during his first term in office, touting, “President Trump did more for Latino Americans than any administration in history!”
The coalition’s mission statement reads:
Latino Americans for Trump is founded on the fact that with President Trump, the Latino Community in this country has a president who is committed to removing the obstacles that keep minorities from achieving the American Dream. Biden has failed to secure our communities, failed to deliver higher real wages, and failed to bring down record prices. President Trump achieved record unemployment, made it possible to own a home, start a successful business, and ensured that Latino families have a voice in their children’s education. President Trump will once again ensure that no matter where our family’s come from in Latin America, that all Latino Americans have a home under one flag, the American flag.
“In 2020, we got more votes from Hispanic Americans than any Republican in more than 50 years, and we won the Texas border counties that no Republican candidate had won in more than a century! In 2024, we’re going to win an even larger share of the Hispanic American vote, setting all-time records for Republicans up and down the ballot,” Trump said in a statement.

Most of us tend to gravitate to the groups that we’re most comfortable with, that doesn’t mean we’re Racists. But it is human nature.
Politics is a necessary part of being a Citizen of this United States of America. There are special interests for every group, race & ethnicity, business, etc.
Police Officers’ interests are different from other occupations, yet they are made up of all races & ethnicities. They unite to support or oppose laws & regulations which affects their occupation.
Where it becomes evil is when the LEFT PITS ONE AGAINST THE OTHER TO DIVIDE & CREATE CHAOS & HATE. THE LEFT CAN CONTROL BETTER WHEN THEY DIVIDE CITIZENS INTO DIVISIONS THAT ARE NEGATIVE.
Most American Citizens are NOT RACISTS.
THE LEFT’S CONSTANT DEMONIZING OF TRUMP SUPPORTERS AS EXTREMISTS & SUPREMACISTS IS TOTAL PROPAGANDA. I’m a former Democrat born & bred in the South during the awful Jim Crow Laws. I didnt know as a young person about the KKK, who were Racists & Supremacists. They were the creators & enforcers of Jim Crow Laws. They wore White costumes & Hoods made to hide their identity. Bc they were members of our society. But did not want anyone to know who they were.
There is no difference between the KKK & ANTIFA, Black Panthers, the Weather Underground, BLM. They are all fringes of Society, that probably work in jobs in our Community ( ie teachers, professors, attorneys, etc) or they are FBI informants, doing what they have to do to stay out of jail, or they’re paid Anarchists by Dark Money from groups associated with Geo Soros, the Rothchilds, Rockefeller & Clinton Foundations, to name a few. We actually have Two Tennessee State Representatives who are products of these anti-American Foundations, & are continuously screaming about Racism, but they support DEI ( Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) which us 100 % Reacist & Sexist. They support forcing institutions & employers to hire totally unqualified people who happen to be Black. What’s not racist about that? They support segregated graduations based on Race. Until that what Racism is? They support boys playing in girls sports. That’s SexIst, Dancerous & Unfair.
Yet people turn their heads the other way, keep quiet bc they dont want to be called a RACIST or Bigot.
Well it’s time to ask God for the Courage to demand Principles & Morals & Faith be brought back onto the mainstream.
SILENCE IS COMPLIANCE
I am pleased that Trump has been endorsed but why cannot we all just be Americans? I am tired of the hyphenated identities. I thought the idea was to assimilate not hang on to the old stuff.
