Joined military at 19 as only college pathway worked since 15. Completed Guard leadership as Equal Opportunity Leader, IWIL, Pope Francis's Escuela Política studying migration. Communications Director for Harris/Walz.
14 years Guard, activated Jan 6. One of two nationally resisting Trump/ICE now under investigation. President 46th Ward Dems, Chair Veterans for Change. Founded Sandwiches for Solidarity, organize ICE defense, organized the Chicago Women's March.
Running because we face ICE terror, lost hospitals, unaffordable housing. As working-class queer Latina, daughter of immigrant, understand personally. Organizing experience, proven courage, grassroots accountability prepared me to serve families, not corporations.
Immigrant Justice: Zero ICE cooperation, state-funded deportation defense, hold ICE agents accountable, abolish ICE, fight for real pathways to citizenship. I'm organizing community defense now and under investigation for resisting Trump's ICE orders, this is urgent and life-or-death for my family and community.
Housing Justice & Rent Control: Lift statewide rent control ban, invest massively in public housing, strengthen tenant protections, ban corporate landlord ownership. I know what it's like to choose between groceries and rent. Housing is a human right.
Universal Healthcare Access: Expand Medicaid regardless of immigration status, restore healthcare infrastructure lower prescription costs, massively expand mental health services.
Illinois doesn't have a spending problem,we have a revenue problem. I strongly support the Illinois Revenue Alliance platform generating $6+ billion annually through billionaire wealth taxes, closing corporate loopholes, progressive income taxation, and ending corporate subsidies. We give billions in corporate tax breaks while claiming we can't afford services,that's backwards.
Invest more: Public education (fully fund Evidence-Based Funding), public transit (prevent 40% service cuts), healthcare infrastructure, mental health services, affordable housing, climate infrastructure, community violence prevention.
Climate: Implement Green New Deal with renewable energy (public ownership), green infrastructure, environmental justice mandates. Champion Climate Superfund making fossil fuel companies pay for damages. End fossil fuel subsidies, ban new infrastructure, fund adaptation protecting vulnerable neighborhoods.
Transportation: Massively invest in public transit preventing 40% service cuts. Expand CTA/Metra/Pace, electrify buses, build protected bike infrastructure. Prioritize transit equity over highways, our district depends on transit.
Infrastructure: Restore healthcare infrastructure, replace lead pipes, modernize schools, invest in green stormwater, expand public broadband. Require Project Labor Agreements guaranteeing union jobs.
Real safety comes from meeting needs, not police and incarceration. I'm working on the RIFL Act holding gun manufacturers accountable and directing settlement funds to community violence prevention, victim services, mental health care, youth employment, and education.
Community Investment: Massively fund proven violence prevention like Cure Violence, mental health services, addiction treatment, youth programs, housing stability, economic opportunity. Replace police responses to mental health crises with community-based crisis teams staffed by professionals. Criminal Justice Reform:Support decarceration, automatic expungement for marijuana and non-violent offenses, ban private prisons, comprehensive re-entry support. Remove police from schoo
