Congressional Hispanic Caucus to Set Record in Next Congress

The Democratic Congressional Hispanic Caucus says it expects to have more than 50 members in the next Congress, setting a record after Tuesday’s midterm elections. The caucus previously listed 44 members, and it plans to mark its 50th anniversary in December. The statement points to increased representation for Latino lawmakers coming out of the election cycle, building on momentum seen in prior contests. While the projection focuses on membership size, it also frames the outcome as a sign of growing political influence and organizing strength within the Democratic Party at the federal level. Full results and final seat counts will depend on certification and any remaining races.
