Incoming Democratic Senator-elect Ruben Gallego of Arizona says building authentic connections with working-class voters can help Democrats find their way back to power in Washington.

Gallego won his Senate race in a battleground state that Donald Trump flipped and will become the first Latino to represent Arizona in the upper chamber of Congress. He did so, he says, in large part by targeting Latino men.

Nearly a week after the November 5 U.S. election, Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) was named the Arizona U.S. Senate election winner. The Associated Press officially called the race for Gallego late Monday night in Arizona.
