If elected, Valenzuela would become the first Afro-Latina elected to Congress.
"I'm running for Congress because the opportunities that allowed me to go from being homeless as a kid, sleeping in a kiddie pool outside a gas station, to become the first in my family to go to college should be available to everyone. But right now, those opportunities are under attack by this administration."
"We need more Latinx leaders who know the challenges facing Latinx communities. Communities of color are being disproportionately affected by COVID-19 and North Texans need a leader who will listen to experts to keep us safe. We need leadership in Washington that will work with the experts to develop solutions so the Latinx community and all North Texans can get back to work and school quickly and safely."
"So much is at stake in this election. Quality and affordable healthcare, protections for people with preexisting conditions, the cost of prescription drugs, and so much more. Every North Texan has something that affects them on the ballot this year. I'm running to make sure each and every one in North Texas has someone taking our priorities to Congress."
