I'm a proud product of the Inland Empire, a DREAMER, organizer, and executive director for a nonprofit that's focused on justice and empowering our communities. Growing up undocumented, I was raised in an immigrant, working-class household and came to the United States with my family at six months old. Growing up in the communities of Pomona, Montclair, and Ontario, I experienced many of the challenges that I.E. families continue to face today – including poverty, discrimination, and limited access to housing, health care, and quality education. That's why I've spent my career advocating for protections for immigrant families and fully investing in services that expand healthcare and housing. Now I'm bringing the fight to Sacramento to deliver real change that gets things done for the Inland Empire and puts community first.
  • Standing up to special interests and stopping greedy wareshouse developers
  • Cutting costs for families so they can continue to afford to live here
  • Making neighborhoods safe by tackling the root causes of crime and strengthening gang prevention, education, and local job opportunities
Housing, Healthcare, Public Safety, Economic Development, Good Governance and Rooting Out Corruption
Delivering results that put our communities first and ensuring the Inland Empire gets its fair share of resources from Sacramento
I grew up working multiple service jobs after my dad was deported to help support our family.
