My parents taught me to never give up and to always believe that my future could be whatever I dreamt it to be.

I've known where my heritage is from all along.

My dad was a golden gloves boxer in the Marine Corps, then a deputy sheriff. My mom worked as an office assistant.

I absolutely advocate for comprehensive immigration reform.

The criminal justice system should have the authority to determine the immigration status of all criminals, regardless of race or ethnicity, and report illegal immigrants who commit crimes to federal authorities.

I registered Democrat because my parents did. They were, we were. There was no thinking behind it.

When I first registered to vote I registered as a Democrat.
