As we continue navigating present challenges, your Precinct 2 team has been there every step of the way, leading the way. I pushed for equity in our community’s vaccination roll-out, for as much direct cash assistance, rental assistance and utility assistance as possible, as well as ensuring the creation of programs that support our small businesses. And, although we’ve had to deal with these challenges every day for two years, my office worked hard to be impactful in many other areas. We lead the 2020 Census Complete County Committee, paving the way for hundreds of millions of dollars in additional funding to be infused into our community. We brought better access to voting in the 2020 elections and created the County’s first independent redistricting advisory committee. We also wrote policy to provide more access to healthy food for El Pasoans, ensured the expenditure of millions of dollars in park improvements at Ascarate Park, had the Segundo Barrio designated as a federally recognized historic district and created the County’s first immigrant services office. I am also proud of accomplishing the creation of Crisis Intervention Teams at the Police Department and Sheriff’s Office, as well as fighting for and achieving a living wage for the lowest paid employees at the County, University Medical Center and Emergence Health Network.
I would love to continue building upon all of this great work, and as the only TRUE Democrat in this Democratic Party Primary, I humbly ask for your support to be re-elected. We cannot afford to take steps in the wrong direction, only forward. Thank you.

County Commissioner #2
Real Progress
COUNTY COMMISSIONER #2
It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your Precinct 2 County Commissioner the past 11 years. Together we have achieved real progress that has made Precinct 2 -and all of El Paso County- a stronger, safer, and better-connected community.
OUR WORK IS NOT FINISHED! With your support, we will continue building on this progress every day, driving a future where every family in El Paso has more opportunities and a better quality of life.
What we have accomplished together:
Proven Progressive Leadership Fought for fair wages, equal pay, and dignified benefits for our working families. Because when workers thrive, our entire community thrives.
Justice and Community Safety Reformed the justice system, reduced jail overcrowding, and promoted fairness and transparency. Our safety should be guided by justice, not political interests.
Health and Quality of Life Expanded access to mental-health services, addressed food deserts, and invested millions in parks and community services.
Defending El Paso Stood up to harmful state and federal policies while promoting smart border cooperation and protecting our values and our families.
Responsible Stewardship Advanced key projects, maintained a stable tax rate for 11 years, and helped bring millions of federal dollars directly to our county.
El Paso deserves leadership that listens, takes action, and always puts the community first.
Let’s keep moving forward together.
Priorities
EFFECTIVE, STRONG AND FEARLESS LEADERSHIP
I have been so honored to count on your support over the three terms I’ve served as your County Commissioner for Precinct 2 and I’m asking for your trust once again for a fourth term.
While Austin and Washington are tied up in culture wars and gridlock, I’ve been here, working as an unabashed progressive, closest to the people, delivering real results that change lives.
And let me tell you something: progressivism isn’t radical, like most republicans and even many establishment democrats will try to make you think. It’s practical. It’s about making sure families have economic mobility and can create generational wealth. This means access to healthcare and mental healthcare, creating jobs that pay a living wage, putting food on the table, ensuring safe housing, and protecting our environment.
That’s what working families want. That’s what Texans want. And that’s what El Paso deserves. And in your county commissioner for precinct 2’s office, that’s what we have been serving up!
As you can see, we have been quite busy, however, while we’ve worked to expand access and opportunity, our democracy and values are under attack.
Here in Texas, the legislature is pushing redistricting schemes that would slice up communities, weaken the voices of working families, and dilute the power of Latino and Black communities across the state and here in El Paso. That is gerrymandering — and it is an attack on justice.
And it doesn’t stop there. Across the state, women are being stripped of their right to make personal healthcare decisions with one of the most extreme abortion bans in the nation. Here in El Paso, our border community unfortunately continues to be the front line for mass deportations. The federal government has forced a detention facility onto Fort Bliss, where children and families are held in conditions that shame us all.
These issues are connected. They are about power, fairness, and dignity. And let me be clear: El Paso knows better. We know immigrants are our neighbors, our co-workers, our family. We know women can make decisions about their own bodies. We know communities of color deserve fair representation.
And we will fight. During my tenure in office I have walked that walk and as long as continue here, I will stand up for fair maps, reproductive rights, immigrant justice, and civil rights — because the people of El Paso deserve nothing less.
Friends — that’s not just a list. That’s a record. That’s proof. Proof that when progressives lead, families benefit. Proof that county government can deliver real change. Proof that El Paso County, and especially your precinct 2 office is leading the way.
So yes, I’m running for a fourth term. The work isn’t finished. Families still need affordable healthcare. Our kids deserve opportunity. People deserve food security, safe housing, and a clean, just future. Because our democracy, our rights, and our values are worth fighting for every single day.
With your support, we will keep building. We will keep pushing. And we will keep proving that when progressives lead, communities thrive.
So, let’s keep going, El Paso. Let’s keep pushing. And let’s keep getting it done — together!
