I was born and raised in Venezuela, until I left the country because Hugo Chávez's radical socialist regime destroyed the economy and left the lives of all non-communists at risk.
When I became a U.S. Citizen, I took an oath to protect this nation from all enemies, foreign and domestic — and I will not back down as the Left is trying to destroy America.
The same Marxist ideologies that I saw creep into Venezuela are infiltrating their way into American politics, education, religion, corporations, and mainstream media — destroying the American way of life.
I’ve watched this movie before in Spanish, and I’m watching it again in English. I know how socialism ends, and it’s not pretty. That’s why I’m taking a stand against the Left’s attack on our nation: to restore constitutional rights, individual liberties, and free market opportunity in North Carolina.
I will always defend the Right to Life, the 2nd Amendment, Military & Law Enforcement, and School Choice — fighting against CRT indoctrination in schools and fighting for Voter ID and other integrity measures.
