I am a child of the Chicano movement. My siblings and I are heirs to the legacy of Rita J. Martinez and Jose Esteban Ortega. Community activism and social justice are in my blood. The Chicano Movement taught me to demand accountability of the systems which fail us again and again. And the Movement taught me deep critical analysis. I'm running to ensure the community is at the table when decisions are being made, to make sure those most impacted by issues are heard when they bring forward solutions. For too long, much of this District has been dismissed as a liability and I want to help the City to understand and plan for Bessemer and District 4 as an asset.
If we join together and make our voices heard, we can fight for the change we want to see!

Voting serves all of us. Thank you for your commitment.
After 100 years of council government, Pueblo recently adopted a mayoral form of government. In order to get on with the people's business, we MUST resolve some of the ongoing power struggles between the Mayor and Council. It's counterproductive and many complain it has caused city government to be more opaque. I want to review policies
After 100 years of council government, Pueblo recently adopted a mayoral form of government. In order to get on with the people's business, we MUST resolve some of the ongoing power struggles between the Mayor and Council. It's counterproductive and many complain it has caused city government to be more opaque. I want to review policies for public comment during Council meetings and will model improved community engagement by hosting quarterly town halls in my district.
I will spend the better part of the first year better understanding my role on Council and how the city works and setting up my own systems of support and accountability. I want to have some humility and acknowledge I have some learning to do.
How does the City interact and work with other governmental and non-governmental agencies? Some of this will come through experience but our community is facing some critical issues with implications far into the future and I want to understand how and who will actually make those decisions.
Your donation is an opportunity to be part of something bigger. Show me that you are with me in this fight.
