GOP OPENS OUTREACH OFFICE IN LATINO-RICH SOUTH OMAHA

OUTH OMAHA- Republicans opened an outreach office in South Omaha aimed at helping Nebraska’s top political party grow in a Latino-rich part of Omaha.

Omaha’s office is the first “Hispanic Community Center” the Republican National Committee has opened in a Great Plains state, RNC spokeswoman Preya Samsundar said.

Others have opened in Texas, Florida and Wisconsin, in swing states and swing districts where helping with key races in 2022 could help the party prepare for 2024.

The offices help the party connect with potential voters and volunteers. Party leaders said they hope neighbors will use the South Omaha office as a gathering space.

Virgil Patlan, a frequent GOP candidate in South Omaha, said he and his wife, Rebecca Barrientos-Patlan, had sometimes felt lonely as Republicans in “South O.”

“I’ve been a proud Republican since Ronald Reagan,” he said. “Because we stand for faith, family and freedom … I’m glad the party is down here.”
