Teacher. Latina. Union leader. Running for Congress in Colorado's CD8. Always fighting for working families.

I'm so proud to have earned the support of Scott Moss -- one of our state's bravest fighters for justice, who blew the whistle on both the Trump administration's attempts to target Coloradans and our own Governor's refusal to stand up to them.

Today’s ruling by the Supreme Court is frightening and reminder of how much this administration is threatening and harmful to all of us. We must resist and fight back - and flipping Colorado 08 is part of that resistance!

Last night, I was glad to be back at UNC, where I got my Master's in school counseling, sharing my vision of hope for the future with Weld County Dems at their annual Roosevelt dinner. I was glad to connect with so many Northern CO Democrats who are fired up & ready to give Gabe Evans a pink slip!

Keep dreaming big, my friends. And never let anyone steal your hope. Together, we can and WILL build the America we all deserve.

Yesterday, I was surprised & proud to be the only CD8 candidate who showed up to participate in the parade for Beef 'n Bean Day, which is one of the biggest community celebrations all year in #Milliiken. It was a lot of fun & I met many great people who are ready to turn this seat blue! #copolitics

This week, I participated in a CD8 candidate forum, and met over a hundred community members who had tons of interesting questions for us as candidates. It was so exciting to share my vision of hope and what I’ll do to fight for the #Colorado we all deserve.

Had a great time connecting with community members at the Adams County Fair this weekend -- and hanging out with a couple of goats, too!

Union busting is disgusting.

We need people in #Congress who don’t just give lip service to standing with #workers & unions, but who are ready and willing to fight to restore basic workplace rights & to enact policy to grow the power of #unions. I’m ready to help lead that fight in Congress. #1u

I spent the weekend in beautiful #Lyons @ #Rockygrass connecting w/ people excited to send a #teacher & #union leader to #Congress. The crisp mountain air, the peaceful flow of the river, & people connecting through music are all great reminders of what’s possible when we lead w/ unity & hope. ❤️🪕🏕️✊🏽

I’ve never lied about my family history- I’m proud of who & where I come from. How shameful for Evans to share mistruths about his background, w/ his own family members having to call it out, all while fanning the flames of harmful rhetoric that is causing fear & harm in our communities. #copolitics

Thank you, Judy & Manny Solano, for hosting a lovely meet and greet brunch yesterday. I had a ton of great conversations with Adams County neighbors who are fired up and ready to send a teacher to Congress!

As someone who has been working since I was 14 years old & who has spent my entire adult life working to better the lives of working people, I’m honored to be the first challenger to a GOP Congressmember in the U.S. to be endorsed by @workingfamilies.org for the 2026 election.

I'm glad to be endorsed by these two former state legislators -- powerful champions for public education, reproductive freedom, and so many other critical issues.

This does not make America safer or the world better - it does the opposite. As @afsaorg.bsky.social put it, "[T]hese layoffs are untethered from merit or mission... [P]rofessional, non-partisan diplomacy is not expendable. It is essential."

I'm thankful to have earned the support of Councilmember Sarah Parady, a champion for civil rights, workers' rights, and civil liberties. She never stops fighting to protect our fundamental freedoms -- and neither will I.

I'm proud to be endorsed by @replorenagarcia.bsky.social, a strong progressive leader in our state legislature. I look forward to working with her to coordinate federal and state strategies to improve the lives of working families.

I'm so honored to be endorsed by two of the local leaders I admire most: Adams Co Comm. Emma Pinter & Hon. Joe Salazar. I look forward to working with them both to beat back the abuses of the Trump administration & to build the future we need to see in Adams, Weld & Berthoud. #copolitics

I'm damn proud to have signed on to a statement of support for the 140 #EPA staffers who bravely are speaking out against the Trump admin's harmful giveaways to corporate polluters.

I know that what makes America great is her people, united, standing strong to protect our fundamental freedoms. No matter what we look like, who we love, or how we worship, the root of the American promise is that all of us should get a fair shake and be able to get ahead if we work hard.

It's so good to be at the @neatoday.bsky.social RA, a convening of thousands of #UnionStrong educators from across the USA. And it's especially good to feel so much love & support from my union family for this campaign to elect a fighting teacher to Congress. Here's the 1st half of my speech.

Today, Gabe Evans chose to hurt the constituents he's supposed to be representing in order to curry favor with Billionaire Row. He apparently thinks it's a great idea to slash people's healthcare & take food off people's tables in order to give huge tax cuts to the wealthy few. This is inexcusable.
