Arizona has a large Latino population—25 percent according to the 2000 Census.[10] Some 11 percent of the state’s zip codes have Latino populations of 50 percent or more. Analysis shows that Clean Elections candidates are more likely to collect their contributions from zip codes with high percentages of Hispanics than are privately funded candidates. The chart below shows that Clean Elections candidates collected twice as much, proportionately, of their contributions from zip codes with the highest percentages of Hispanics than did privately funded candidates. In the zip codes with the lowest levels of Hispanics, privately funded candidates raised proportionately better than one-third more of their campaign cash than Clean Elections candidates did, 9.5 percent versus 6.8 percent.
