Jerry Garcia, historian and vice-president of the Sea Mar Museum of Chicano/a/Latino/a Culture in Seattle, stands outside the center Monday, November 9, 2020. Garcia says the vast majority of Washington’s Latinos are Mexican Americans, who have traditionally aligned with Democrats. Various movements, including farmworker organizing and protests against the Vietnam War, which took a heavy toll on Mexican Americans, have bolstered that alliance. A Mexican American himself, he nonetheless says he has many relatives in Texas who are Republicans, and has no doubt that a significant number of Latinos in Eastern Washington are the same. Garcia voted for Biden, saying living under Trump as a Latino has been “very, very stressful.” 215597
