There have been several Haitian-American Republican elected officials and political candidates in South Florida, most prominently former North Miami Mayor Josaphat Celestin.
Interesting. I never knew Haitian-Americans leaned Republican. I do know there’s an even more GOP-friendly group when it comes to Filipino-Americans. I believe they’re the most GOP-leaning of all asian-americans. I don’t know what the numbers are nationally, but in my own inner-circle, about 90% of Filipinos I’ve met are GOP voters. They are also overwhelmingly Catholic. Nationally I’m guessing their numbers are too small to have an impact any important political campaigns, since the media tends to ignore them.
