Team,
Growing up as the 6th of seven children, I saw my parents’ tireless work to provide for us and set us up for a bright future. They made sure all seven of us became first-generation college graduates. Thanks to their sacrifices, I learned the importance of dedication, hard work, and community – values I still uphold today.
As we see inflamed anti-immigrant rhetoric across the nation, I am reminded of my parents' sacrifices. The time, work, and love they put into ensuring our access to education is a reflection of the resilience of Latino families in the US.
In Congress, I am committed to paying it forward. As the newly elected chair of BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, I am determined to take down barriers that impede Latino progressives from running for office.
Team, this is an ambitious undertaking that will require serious resources. Will you support my efforts to empower Latino progressives to run for office?
