As an immigrant from Venezuela, Carmen knows firsthand the dangers of unchecked borders and weak immigration policies. She will fight to secure America’s borders, end the chaos of illegal immigration, and ensure that taxpayer resources are directed to American families and legal residents. Carmen supports restoring law and order at the border, strengthening security measures, and working to stop the flow of drugs, crime, and human trafficking that threaten our communities.

Carmen believes parents not government bureaucrats, must have the final say in their children’s education. She supports school choice so every family has access to the best education possible, regardless of zip code. Carmen will fight for transparency in the classroom, ensure parents know what their children are being taught, and stand against ideologies that strip parents of their rights. Her goal is to return the focus of education to academic excellence, preparing students to succeed and strengthening the next generation.

Houston families deserve safe neighborhoods, yet crime continues to rise. Soft-on-crime policies have weakened law enforcement and emboldened criminals. Carmen stands firmly with our police officers and first responders, ensuring they have the resources and support they need to do their jobs. She will push back against efforts to defund or undermine the police, while also supporting community-based solutions that build trust and accountability. Her priority is clear: protect families, restore safety, and bring peace back to our streets.

At the core of Carmen’s values are faith, family, and freedom, the principles that make America strong. She will defend religious liberty, stand up for the sanctity of life, and protect constitutional rights, including free speech and the Second Amendment. Carmen is committed to ensuring that government serves the people, not the other way around. She will bring a strong, conservative voice to Washington, fighting every day for the values that keep our nation free and prosperous.

She will bring a strong, conservative voice to Washington, that will put God first and will fight every day for the values that keep our nation free and prosperous.

America must be strong in energy once again. By expanding domestic energy production, including natural gas, oil, and advanced technologies we can power our economy with American resources. Reducing our dependence on foreign energy strengthens our national security, lowers household costs, and protects American families.
 
We must return to a government that is limited, efficient, and accountable. That begins by stopping waste, balancing our budgets, and stabilizing the dollar. American families deserve a government that manages its finances as responsibly as they manage their own. We need to cut taxes and regulations, support small businesses, and increase competition so our economy can grow and families can thrive.
As a Venezuelan immigrant who watched my home country fall to communism, I know firsthand how freedom is taken—not all at once, but little by little. I have lived through what happens when the government grows too large, when bureaucracy takes control, and when regulations suffocate the rights and opportunities of the people.

America is the land of the free, and we must never allow socialism or communism to take root here. Yet today, we are seeing a dangerous shift to the left—a slow erosion of the values that built this great nation. This is the same slippery slope that has destroyed once-prosperous countries across the world. I refuse to let that happen to the United States.

We must restore the American values, principles, and foundation that made this country exceptional. That begins with putting our people first, empowering families, strengthening our communities, and defending our freedoms from government overreach.

It is time to stand strong, stand proud, and stand united for an America that always puts its citizens first.
America First!
