Calling for"a new era for Latinos," the Buttigieg plan would create"a path to citizenship for the approximately 11 million undocumented people living in the United States." It also aims to reduce discrimination in business lending and expand protections for farm and domestic workers. His plan pledges $10 billion in federal funds to support entrepreneurs from under-served communities, including Latino business owners, and would look to increase federal contracting dollars going to small business owners from those groups to 25% from 10%.
Among Hispanics who identify as Democrat or independent, 3% support Buttigieg over other candidates for the Democratic 2020 nomination, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling from Nov. 1 to Dec. 5. Another 27% support Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, 15% support former Vice President Joe Biden and 7% support Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren.
