Nominator's thoughts on what would make this nominee a valuable member of a future Trump Unity Government
1) Is Competent ... In finding solutions to bring more cohesiveness within the Latino community . As well as understanding in what it is that the Latino community needs.
2) Is Honest... and upstanding when it comes to justice and standing up for whats right. She has been an advocate for Dreamers in this country who came here as children, love this country and want to be here as tax paying citizens.
3) Is Respectful ... As someone that was raised by immigrant parents being respectful of varying backgrounds. She has seen her mom become a US citizen and she was super proud of her. She knows the importance of standing up for what she believes in because she saw how her mother integrated into American society.
4) Has Integrity ... because she grew up in a household where community was at the helm. That the family nucleus was what was important. So putting community first because her mother was a social worker for the City of New York. She saw it firsthand.
5) Has Courage ... always has had a great discernment for doing whats right.
6) Has a Proven Record... From the clients she has worked with and the community she has built within that she has a solid background in having a strong sense of building successful programs.
