My parents came to Iowa from Venezuela 30 years ago, with the plan of only staying for three years while my dad trained at the University of Iowa. They had never lived somewhere this cold or in a small town. What they found was a welcoming community, opportunity, and some of the best schools in the country. That’s why my brothers and I were born and raised here in Iowa. I’m running because today, it’s difficult for my friends to make that same choice to stay. My belief in the Iowa that welcomed my parents is the reason I’ve worked to elect democrats here, first as an organizer for Pete Buttigieg then as the regional organizing director in Northwest Iowa for the state party’s 2020 coordinated campaign. It’s the reason that I worked during the pandemic to get national media to cover the dangerous conditions immigrant workers were facing in Iowa’s meatpacking plants. It is the reason that I believe Iowa City will elect the first Latino democrat ever to serve in the Iowa House. I believe that we can reinvest in young people and education. That Iowa can lead instead of following on big issues like climate change and that we can create a vision for the future that creates opportunities for our brightest young people right here in Iowa. That’s why I’m running.
- Iowa isn’t offering young people the opportunities it once did. Good-paying jobs are disappearing, graduates are drowning in student debt, and public schools go underfunded. As it becomes harder to start a family here, my generation is moving away. I am running to give young Iowans a reason to stay and call this state home.
- We can preserve our close-knit communities while also making Iowa more affordable, more prosperous, and more inclusive. Here’s my plan: Make public universities and community colleges tuition-free for students who commit to staying in Iowa after graduation. Connect Iowa City to Chicago via Amtrak to spur economic growth. Restore bargaining rights to strengthen Unions and raise the minimum wage. Welcome immigrants with open arms. Properly fund our public schools, increase teacher salaries, and respect our educators.
- Every Iowan deserves access to high-quality, affordable healthcare. Unfortunately, the pandemic has exposed the cracks in our system. The GOP’s Medicaid privatization experiment has been a disaster for Iowans, our state is facing a shortage of healthcare, and our state government has failed healthcare workers. Republicans have let down our most vulnerable. I’m running because I believe that Iowa can lead on healthcare.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
