"In the 1960’s my parents immigrated from Ecuador to the ghettos of Chicago with nothing but the clothes on their back and hope in their hearts. Both of my parents were factory workers for over thirty years and sacrificed whatever they could to provide us with stable housing, education, access to healthcare, and food. They raised me and my siblings, while also helping their community with the little they had. Their sacrifices, compassion, and determination instilled in me values of integrity, hard work, respect, and public service."
