Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Adrienne is a second generation Hispanic-American, born and raised in Wyandotte County. She is the daughter of a WWII Veteran, youngest of 12 children, and has never backed away from a challenge. Growing up the grandchild of legal immigrants she learned first-hand that if you work hard and play by the rules anyone can achieve the American Dream. Adrienne earned a degree in Public Administration from Washburn University and a Master's in Public Administration from the UMKC.

When the Shawnee Indian Mission was at risk of being closed, a neighbor asked Adrienne to attend a meeting in hopes of saving it. During the meeting, Adrienne, dressed in sweats with her hair pulled back and a child on her hip, took to the microphone and outlined a plan to save the mission-and they succeeded. From there Adrienne was elected to the local city council, and then elected Mayor-where she encouraged citizens to attend council meetings and speak out. In 2011, Adrienne was appointed by the Governor to serve as the Executive Director of the Hispanic and Latino American Affairs Commission. In 2017, Adrienne was an appointee of the Trump Adminstrion to serve as the Small Business Administration Region 7 Advocate. In this role, she focused on the needs of small business owners in the Third Congressional District. She found ways to help free them of burdensome regulations so they could be successful and grow.

Adrienne and her husband, Stephen, live in Roeland Park and have five sons ages 15 to 25.
