Election Day is March 17, 2020.
Stay up-to-date on the latest news and get updates from the campaign:
Growing up as a first-generation Hispanic in Chicago, one of six children with parents who barely spoke English, was no easy task. However, my parent’s instilled in each of us the desire, discipline, and structure to attain a college education and pursue the American dream. With few strong Latina role models in the public eye, it was difficult to grasp the possibility of becoming a voice for the injustice in my community.
Years later while practicing law it was jarring to me that there still was almost no Hispanic Judiciary representation in our Courts Systems, despite Cook County being one of the largest Latino communities in the United States.
