WHY I RAN

I've been passionate about government and politics for a long time. But admittedly, I didn't pay too much attention to local and municipal politics and topics. I was sort of zoned in on national topics and headlines.​In late 2016, I realized that change starts at the local level and I knew I wanted to help make that change. I've wanted to run for office because I think voices like mine are often left out. I'm a Latina, a mom, was a lifelong renter until August, and I'm a full time college student. I believe I can bring a new perspective to our local government.​I've had a lot of conversations with residents and business owners. I've talked to other public officials. I've read up on the city's issues and learned about the needs we have in Hopkins. I decided to run because, frankly, I care. ​So while I bring a passionate voice to the table, I also bring an open-mindedness. I want to listen to the residents of Hopkins and really hear you. No matter what side of the aisle you're on, your concerns and your opinions and your voice matters. ​I'm ready to help make Hopkins a better place for all. Let's get to work.
