Issue Position: Standing Up For the Border

Issue Position

The U.S.-Mexico Border is a place of profound potential -- a place where two peaceful nations come together and share not just a boundary, but opportunity as well. El Paso, Texas, at the center of that opportunity, is one of the crown jewels of the U.S.-Mexico Border: We are one of the safest communities in America, where families, trade, commerce and culture flow, enriching the fabric of our state and our nation. Much of what is being debated and voted on in Washington, D.C. will have a direct impact on our families and community, and it's imperative that El Pasoans have a representative who not only understands our community, but who will stand up for our values and families as well.

As your County Judge, I was a strong, vocal advocate for El Paso -- for protecting our economy, touting our international location, and debunking the myths told about our community. If given the privilege to be your Congresswoman, I will continue to do this.
