| The Left hates someone like me: a strong, conservative, and the first Mexican-American woman to represent Florida in Congress, who refuses to bow to their agenda. They’re doing everything they can to smear me, attack me, and tear me down. But I didn’t survive everything I’ve been through just to throw in the towel when it mattered most. To me, the American Dream means this: no matter where you come from or what obstacles you face, you can build a better life for yourself and your family. America is and always will be the land of opportunity. But today, the Left is trying to destroy that dream – replacing independence and self-reliance with government control, and weakening the very values that make this country and its people strong. I believe America needs leaders who will stand up for freedom, defend our Constitution, protect our families, and keep the American Dream alive. |
