Fuerza’s Impact

Luis Mata (HD49)

“As a proud Latino immigrant, I was honored to earn the endorsement of Fuerza Democrats Tennessee. Their support, resources, and expertise were invaluable not only to my own campaign for State House District 49, but to the larger work of building a strong bench of Latino leaders across the state of Tennessee.”

Ailina Carona (HD57)

“As a Latina candidate, I often felt alone, constantly fighting for my seat at the table. Then Fuerza stepped in and stood firmly by my side. They fueled my campaign with volunteers, emotional strength, and financial support—their belief in me made all the difference. I am proud to stand with them, and I deeply admire the way they uplift the Hispanic community. Fuerza is making a real and lasting difference for all of us.”
