My Beliefs

Growing up in a Hispanic household, I was raised with traditional values and taught to be grateful, grateful to be a United States citizen while also embracing my Hispanic heritage. I was taught to proudly wave the American flag, stand for the Pledge of Allegiance, and sing the national anthem. Today, it feels like many of these beliefs are under attack. I wasn’t always conservative, though.

Like many families in my community, I grew up influenced by the media’s portrayal that Republicans were the “bad guys” and Democrats were the “good guys.” But as I began reading, researching, and truly understanding what the GOP stood for, I realized my values aligned far more with theirs. I believe in freedom of speech, free markets, and limited government.
