Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I have lived and worked in the Las Vegas hospitality industry for 20 years. I currently waitress as I campaign for Congress. I realized I had been voting against my own interests for years and decided to get involved in the political process in order to effect the changes I want to see. I am Colombian American and I spearheaded Latinos For Trump in 2020 to help my fellow Latinos understand politics in America and to stop voting against their own interests. Preserving America's culture, constitution, and traditional values is of the upmost importance to me.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Strong and sustainable economy. Goverment bloat and wasteful spending has crippled working and middle-class families in America. We must bring back jobs to America and employ American workers.
• Safe communities. The defund the police movement has caused crime to skyrocket and drug use to flood all across our nation. We want our kids to grow up in safe communities. We don't want soft on crime policies because this affects the working and middle-class the most.
• Strong border security and enforcement of immigration laws. Uncontrolled immigration has strained healthcare and education systems, while keeping wages low.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am passionate about homeland security, economic, agriculture and drug policy. I look forward to being a part of strengthening our immigration system, reform our economic policy, look for ways to empower local farmers and ranchers to supply their communities, and to take on the pharmaceutical industry which has devastated so many American families.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

My mom and dad. Despite life challenges and physical separations, their loyalty and commitment to each other and the family always came first. This sort of commitment undoubtedly contributed to the success of our family. I have had no better example in life that drove home the importance and the value of family and faith.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

No. It just takes someone with courage, an open mind, and an ability to have foresight of what consequences todays decision may have in the future.

If you are not a current representative, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

Homeland Security and the Appropriations committee are my top choices.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

I have signed a term limit pledge and plan to co-sponsor Congressman Madison Cawthorn' s legislation to enact term limits on members of Congress.
