Mobilizing Filipino Voters in Nevada for Kamala Harris' Presidential Campaign
The Filipino American community is one of the fastest-growing and most dynamic ethnic groups in Nevada, with an estimated population of over 200,000 residents across the state, and 179,000 concentrated in Clark County. This group, deeply woven into the fabric of Nevada’s workforce, culture, and civic life, represents a significant voting bloc that could be pivotal in securing a victory for Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election.
Of particular note, 25% of the Filipino population in Clark County, approximately 44,750 individuals, are registered voters. This is a key constituency that can be strategically mobilized to shift the balance in a state where every vote counts. As history shows, Nevada’s role as a battleground state in national elections amplifies the importance of this community’s participation.
Importance of the Filipino Vote
Filipino Americans have historically demonstrated strong civic engagement, with issues such as healthcare, immigration reform, workers' rights, education, and climate change at the forefront of their concerns. The Harris campaign's commitment to equity, inclusivity, and support for working families aligns closely with the core values of Filipino Americans. Therefore, by directly addressing these key issues, the campaign can effectively galvanize the Filipino community.
Moreover, Nevada’s political landscape is finely balanced between Democratic and Republican forces. In past elections, even small shifts in voter turnout have had a dramatic impact on results. In the 2020 election, President Biden’s margin of victory in Nevada was around 33,000 votes—a narrow victory in a highly competitive environment. By reaching out to and energizing the Filipino community, Kamala Harris’ campaign could gain a decisive edge.
