VALUES I BELIEVE IN

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.
