Boxing, tacos and TV: Democratic Senate contender aims to win back Latino voters

Ruben Gallego, taking on Kari Lake in key Arizona race, focuses on community events' to reach those who have slipped away

When one of the most celebrated Mexican boxers in history, Canelo Alvarez, steps into the ring against undefeated Mexican fighter Jaime Munguia on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, excitement will be through the roof at a campaign event just 280 miles away.

That's because Democratic congressman Ruben Gallego, caught in one of the most critical US Senate races in the country against former TV anchor Kari Lake, will be holding a watch-party for the fight at JL Boxing Academy in Glendale, Arizona, complete with big screens inside, and a truck serving birria tacos and Mexican Cokes outside.
