Verónica is a fourth-generation fronteriza. She was born in El Paso, just blocks from where her great-grandparents started their family in the Chamizal neighborhood. She was raised in Júarez, down the street from where her great-grandparents moved in order to fulfill their dream of owning a home. Like her great-grandfather, grandfather and thousands of border residents, Verónica and her mother commuted from Júarez to El Paso, where she attended school and her mom worked. Her values have been shaped by her ancestors’ teachings, her upbringing by a single, working-class mom, and her maternal grandparents’ death from cancer. Verónica has devoted her life to social justice, particularly environmental justice, fair and affordable housing, historic and cultural preservation, and animal rights. She is a lawyer and a children’s book author.

My Top Priorities for District 2 and the City of El Paso
District 2 is located in Central El Paso and covers neighborhoods north and south of I-10. I have had the honor of living and working in District 2 since 2007. Our neighborhoods are rich in history, family ties, and culture. Our neighborhoods also face challenges resulting from varying degrees of neglect, large-scale projects like the expansion of I-10 and the Bridge of the Americas, and some of the worst air quality in our region. Together, we can work to make our District 2 better.
-
Keep the property tax rate as low as possible and tighten the use of public resources.
-
Protect ALL of our neighborhoods to ensure they are healthy, safe & clean; and that residents are not displaced; and historic areas are protected & restored.
-
Address neighborhood needs, including pedestrian safety, street & park maintenance, traffic hot spots, street lighting & abandoned buildings.
-
Improving city services, including, but not limited to: Streets and transportation projects, Public transportation, Animal Services, Libraries, Museums, Parks, and Recycling.
-
Protect our health & environment, including our air quality, conserving our water, reducing rising heat & utility bills, more trees, and protection of natural & open spaces.
-
Collaborate with other government entities & nonprofits to support community members often forgotten: elders, people with physical and/or mental disabilities, members of the LGBTQIA community, people who are homeless, & immigrants.
-
Be accessible and accountable by listening to residents and addressing the needs of District 2; and keep working to adopt campaign finance reform to limit big money’s influence on city elections.
