My involvement began when I became co-president of Latinos in STEM at my school. Chris Hansen, who served as our advisor, inspired me profoundly. Working with young Latino students, I saw firsthand the potential they have and the barriers they face. It became clear to me that empowering these kids, helping them dream big, and showing them the opportunities available was crucial.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Chris Hansen\u2019s campaign resonates with me because it reflects my values and aspirations. Supporting this campaign is about more than politics\u2014it\u2019s about advocating for vital issues such as robust public schools and programs like Manejando Sin Miedo, which directly impact our community in the Valley. As a current business management and entrepreneurship student, I\u2019m passionate about supporting and uplifting my community. My goal is to open businesses that contribute to our local economy and provide more opportunities for residents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Encouraging Latino voters to support Hansen\u2019s campaign is a way for me to give back and make a meaningful difference. It\u2019s about ensuring our voices are heard and that our needs are addressed. I believe in Hansen\u2019s vision and commitment to our community, and I\u2019m dedicated to be rallying support to make positive changes happen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><b>NUESTRA VOZ CUENTA<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Trabajar en la campa\u00f1a dem\u00f3crata de Chris Hansen ha sido una experiencia transformadora para m\u00ed, profundamente arraigada en mis experiencias personales y profesionales. Mi participaci\u00f3n comenz\u00f3 cuando me convert\u00ed en copresidenta de Latinos in STEM en mi escuela. Chris Hansen, quien se desempe\u00f1\u00f3 como nuestro asesor, me inspir\u00f3 profundamente. Al trabajar con j\u00f3venes estudiantes latinos, vi de primera mano el potencial que tienen y las barreras que enfrentan. Me qued\u00f3 claro que empoderar a estos ni\u00f1os, ayudarlos a so\u00f1ar en grande y mostrarles las oportunidades disponibles era crucial. La campa\u00f1a de Chris Hansen resuena en m\u00ed porque refleja mis valores y aspiraciones. Apoyar esta campa\u00f1a es m\u00e1s que pol\u00edtica; se trata de defender cuestiones vitales como escuelas p\u00fablicas s\u00f3lidas y programas como Manejando Sin Miedo, que impactan directamente a nuestra comunidad en el Valle. Como estudiante actual de administraci\u00f3n de empresas y emprendimiento, me apasiona apoyar y mejorar mi comunidad. Mi objetivo es abrir negocios que contribuyan a nuestra econom\u00eda local y brinden m\u00e1s oportunidades a los residentes. Animar a los votantes latinos a que apoyen la campa\u00f1a de Hansen es una manera de contribuir y marcar una diferencia significativa. Se trata de asegurar que nuestras voces sean escuchadas y que nuestras necesidades sean atendidas. Creo en la visi\u00f3n y el compromiso de Hansen con nuestra comunidad, y estoy dedicada a conseguir apoyo para que se produzcan cambios positivos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BY NATALIE ZARAGOZA MARTINEZ OUR VOICE COUNTS Working on Chris Hansen\u2019s Democratic campaign has been a transformative journey for me, rooted deeply in my personal and professional experiences.
