Position sought: Mexico City Council
Previous political experience: Six years on Mexico City Council
Why are you running and why should people vote for you?
I ran for City Council to better understand how our city operates, support those who serve our community, and contribute ideas to help Mexico grow and improve. I have always made it a priority to listen to residents, carefully consider their perspectives, and make informed decisions that reflect the best interests of our community.
What are your goals if elected?
We must continue advancing both small and large initiatives to strengthen our community. One goal is to expand our social media presence to better inform residents about city efforts and highlight what Mexico offers to visitors. This can be a collaborative effort between the City, the Chamber of Commerce, and Main Street Mexico, ensuring all stakeholders benefit from shared communication.
At the same time, securing a hospital remains a top priority. We have established a strong plan of action, and it is essential that we stay committed, continue building partnerships, and follow through to bring a quality healthcare facility to our community.
What issues are most pressing for your constituency?
Securing a hospital for our community is a pressing issue for our community. However, it is important to recognize that hospitals operate as private businesses, and the evolving landscape of healthcare funding has made this effort more challenging than in the past. Despite these obstacles, we remain committed to moving forward, working collaboratively, and pursuing every viable opportunity to bring a quality healthcare facility to Mexico.
