2Key Findings
1. Inflation, crime and gun violence, and jobs and the economy are top priorities, and there is
strong support for policies to address them:
• Invest in working families including housing/rental assistance, health insurance assistance, and
investing in education to help students catch up after academic losses incurred during the pandemic.
• Universal background checks and mental health investments to curb crime and gun violence
2. Immigration reform that includes a path to citizenship continues to receive very strong
support, including executive action if Congress does not act.
3. Abortion has become more salient, and 80% of Latino voters in Arizona believe it should
remain legal, no matter their own personal beliefs on the issue.
4. The majority of Latino voters in Arizona believe the country is on the wrong track (62%), and
66% say they are 100% certain they will vote in November.
