From The Politico:

The Republican State Leadership Committee debuted a new initiative Monday aimed at attracting more Hispanic candidates to run for office.

The Future Majority Project — which also aims to recruit women and younger voters to the GOP — is a response to the country’s changing demographics, and seeks to build Republican support among minority groups at the state level, RSLC chair Ed Gillespie said Monday. The new project will work to recruit, train and support Hispanic candidates for legislative seats and attorney general and secretary of state posts across the U.S.

The FMP has three major objectives: recruit at least 100 new Hispanic legislative candidates across the country, increase the number of female Republican legislative candidates and partner with the College Republican National Committee for a national youth training and mobilization program.

Gillespie said the FMP’s top goal is connecting with Hispanic voters.

“If we don’t adapt now to changes that are taking place in the country, we will face a very different electorate in a couple cycles,” Gillespie said during a conference call with reporters.

The project will cost around $3 million, RSLC President Chris Jankowski estimated.
