The Latino Vote
Makes a Difference!
The mission of the Virginia Latino Leaders Council (VLLC) is to promote Latino civic engagement in Virginia. As part of this mission, we promote Latino participation in local and state government through appointed and elective offices. We are proud of the work ethic and contributions made by Latinos and immigrants to Virginia's economy and to its quality of life, and we endorse candidates who equally hold these values.
Below are the statewide candidates for the November 2025 election cycle. As always, VLLC encourages voters to learn about the candidates and choose those who have demonstrated sustained support for Virginia's Latino and immigrant community.
