During the month of March, we celebrate women’s history month. This year I highlighted fearless leader, Dolores Huerta. Today, upon reading her statement regarding the atrocities committed by Cesar Chavez, I stand with her leadership and perseverance.

☘️ I sure am lucky to represent Arizona’s 24th Legislative District! As always, my focus is to ensure that we prioritize education, help improve our healthcare system, and protect our community. Happy St. Patrick’s Day to those that celebrate. Stay safe during these festivities.

¡Sí se puede! ✊🏽

During Women’s History Month, I’m proud to honor Dolores Huerta, a fearless labor leader, civil rights champion, and co-founder of the United Farm Workers. She organized when it wasn’t popular, led when women were told to stand back, and reminded our communities that our voices and our votes matter.

As a State Representative serving the largest Latino populations in our state, I carry her example with me every day. Dolores Huerta has shown us that change doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because women step forward and demand justice.

Her fight for dignity, fair wages, and opportunity continues in our work at the Capitol. Because of leaders like her, we know our power.
