Immigration attorney from Laredo, TX. Always en la lucha to make our government accountable to all of us. Former candidate for Congress #TX28. She/Ella
When they said we had no chance, we showed them just how powerful the dreams of immigrants, teachers, and rancheros are.

I’m running for Congress because #TX28 deserves a representative who will fight for our dreams as hard as we do.
BREAKING: Biden admin will waive 26 laws to build border walls through South Texas wildlife refuge & nearby communities.

Concert tickets are hard enough to get, you shouldn’t have to pay surprise service fees on top of that.

-held elected office longer than I’ve been alive
-Dem leadership backing
