I am an ER doctor who just recently received my law degree. I have real world experience serving my community at their most vulnerable. Running for Congress is an extension of that service.
At this time Congress is abdicating their responsibilities in checking the gross executive overreach of the Trump administration. As a congresswoman, it will be my priority to reassert Congress's rightful role as the power of the purse. I will support legislation to protect the independence of state agencies against overt politicization.
My priority will be to reverse the cuts to Medicare and Medicaid that will be enacted in the Big Beautiful Bill and to keep the subsidies for the ACA intact. I will support legislation to fund more doctors and hospitals and create the foundation to move to a universal system and get rid of the middleman. I will support legislation that will allow all Americans to buy into Medicare. No politician or health insurance CEO should impact doctors and their patients. I am also the only candidate running in district 15 that will fight to codify Roe v. Wade federally. Reproductive freedom and women’s healthcare should not be left to the states.
My priorities are to fix our broken healthcare system, provide a living wage and create good paying jobs so our citizens can live a life of dignity. I will oppose the extreme agenda of the Trump administration, which has led to persistent civil rights abuses.

I bring real-world experience, not a résumé built inside politics. For decades, I’ve run a small business in a demanding industry, managing teams, budgets, contracts, and high-pressure decisions where mistakes have real consequences. That experience taught me discipline, accountability, and how to lead responsibly. I was raised in a working-class South Texas family that valued hard work, respect, and keeping your word, and those values guide how I serve. My career has required connecting with people from all backgrounds, listening, communicating clearly, and earning trust. I bring independence, common sense, and a deep respect for the process, and I’m running to represent working families with honesty, humility, and backbone.
The Constitution only works when every branch respects its limits and no one is above accountability. Congress has a responsibility to legislate, conduct oversight, and ask tough questions regardless of who holds power. That requires defending congressional authority and ensuring executive actions stay within the law. An independent judiciary is essential, and elected officials must respect court decisions and the rule of law even when it is politically uncomfortable. Transparency and open debate are critical so the public can see how decisions are made. Preserving checks and balances is not about party loyalty, it is about protecting democracy and keeping government accountable to the people.
The federal government has a responsibility to help ensure people can get quality care without going broke. Its role should focus on expanding access to affordable coverage, protecting people with preexisting conditions, and reducing the cost of prescription drugs and basic care. We also need stronger support for prevention, mental health, and rural and underserved communities that are too often overlooked. Families deserve real choices, and the system should hold insurance companies and drug manufacturers accountable when costs spiral out of control. Healthcare should be centered on patients and outcomes, not corporate profit.
Across South Texas, people are asking for the basics to work again. They want costs under control, especially groceries, gas, housing, and healthcare. They want good-paying jobs and an economy that rewards work, not just insiders. Parents are concerned about schools being strong and safe, and seniors worry about retirement security and prescription drug prices. Veterans want timely care and respect for their service. Small business owners want less red tape and a fair shot to grow. Above all, people want representation that listens, shows up, and fights for the district instead of playing political games.
