Bold Community Values

Housing

Laramie residents deserve safe and affordable housing. In a city that is majority renters, I am committed to advocating for renter protections and education.

Conservation

Our neighbors and families should benefit from clean water and outdoor recreation. I was raised to believe that we should always leave our natural resources better than we found them.

Economic Development & Accessibility

I support growing and providing support for our local businesses and providing accessible ways for our entire community to engage with downtown, uptown, and beyond.

I’m excited to be able to earn your vote and will work to serve our community the way my family has for generations. From working on the Union Pacific Railroad to starting local businesses, I come from a long background of movers and shakers in the Laramie community. In the early 90’s we were recognized for being the first Hispanic family to “settle” in Laramie. My grandma opened her restaurant, El Vaquero (“The Cowboy” for non-Spanish speakers), on the historic west side and worked for the Union Pacific Railroad. My mom grew up here, and now I am proud to have built my life in the Gem City. I take a lot of their knowledge and history with me as I look to serve our community the best way I know how- public service.
