The Center for the Study of American Democracy welcomes Mike Madrid, principle at Grassroots Lab and co-founder of the Lincoln Project.
Mike Madrid has been a prominent and successful campaign consultant for Republican candidates over the past quarter century, serving as, among other roles, political director for the California Republican Party. Madrid has been critical of direction of the Republican Party with the rise of Donald Trump and was among the founders of the Lincoln Project along with other prominent anti-Trump Republicans. He is among the foremost experts on voting behavior among Latines, and in 2024 published "The Latino Century: How America's Largest Minority Is Transforming Democracy" (Simon & Schuster). As the fall midterm election campaign heats up, Madrid will be here to discuss what November will hold for the two parties and how Latine voters will play a critical role in the outcomes.
