people—not party loyalty or political ambition. For most of my adult life, I have worked on the front lines of care, safety, and civil rights. As a combat medic and emergency medical technician, I have responded to trauma, stabilized patients in crisis, and witnessed firsthand how access to healthcare can mean the difference between dignity and devastation. As a caregiver, workplace safety professional, and community advocate, I have helped working families, seniors, veterans, and injured workers navigate systems that too often fail the very people they are meant to serve. I have also served in leadership and advocacy roles with the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), where my work has focused on veterans’ rights, Latino and Latina civil rights, voter protections, and civic engagement. Through this work, I have fought to ensure veterans and their families understand and receive the benefits they earned, addressed discrimination and inequity at the community level, protected access to the ballot, and helped build coalitions that bridge the gap between institutions and the communities they serve.

I did not build this résumé in political offices. I built it standing up for all peoples.- Affordability and Economic Stability
Families across the 48th District are being squeezed by rising cost, housing, energy, healthcare, and basic necessities. I support policies that expand housing supply, protect small businesses, strengthen local
economies, and prioritize cost-of-living relief without reckless spendin - Veterans, Public Safety, and Community Support Our veterans and first responders deserve more than symbolic recognition. I am committed to expanding access to mental health services, job placement, and transitional support for veterans, while supporting smart public safety policies that keep communities secure and resilient.
- Education, Workforce Development, and Mentorship A strong future requires investment in education that connects students to real careers. I support vocational training, apprenticeship programs, and partnerships with schools and local employers to prepare the next generation for a competitive economy, especially in underserved communities. No more Dead-end Jobs!
