Raul A. Reyes, a lawyer, is a member of the USA Today Board of Contributors. He has written for The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The Christian Science Monitor, Texas Monthly and the Huffington Post.

One morning in 2017, Luis A. Miranda Jr. — a Democratic political strategist and the father of “Hamilton” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda — knew that something bad was happening to him. Driving in New York City, he felt acute pain and realized that he was having a heart attack. He headed for the hospital but delayed getting to the ER because he thought it was ridiculous to pay $50 for two-hour parking. Instead, he drove around until he found a parking spot.

The biggest mistake that candidates make when it comes to Latino voters, Miranda said, is 'to take us for granted, to believe that we’re Democrats, that we’re with them 100 percent of the time and that we’re going to come out and vote.” In many communities, he believes, Latino voters are “persuadable Democrats,” not necessarily base Democrats.
