On October 27, 2020, the National Latino Coalition of Christian Ministers and Leaders (CONLAMIC), representing over 15,000 Latino churches, endorsed Joe Biden for President. Traditionally nonpartisan, CONLAMIC emphasized the nation’s need for honest and transparent leadership amid the pandemic and societal divisions. Reverend Miguel A. Rivera, CONLAMIC’s president, highlighted the importance of decency and respect in leadership, qualities they believe Biden embodies.
CONLAMIC expressed concern over the current political discourse, noting its adverse effects on social dynamics and the deepening divisions within families and communities. They stressed the urgency of healing these societal wounds and called for a change in domestic politics to foster unity. This endorsement reflects a significant stance from a major Latino evangelical organization, underscoring the critical role of faith leaders in political engagement and societal cohesion.
