Why are you running for this office?
The Walmart Shooting on August 3, 2019 in my hometown, concurrent with societal tensions of social injustice, racism, and political climate, have been the impetus for my heightened sense of activism and voice. With the recent backing of my family, I feel my experience, commitment, and talents can make a difference in the district, my community, and my beloved El Paso.
