Official Profile
Religion: Roman Catholic (publicly identifies as pro-choice; interviewed by Catholics for Choice)
Background: VA Delegate, HD-22 (Prince William), sitting since Jan 2026 (flipped the seat from R incumbent Ian Lovejoy, Nov 2025); previously served HD-31 (2018-2024). Born Lima, Peru; social worker (MSW, USC; MPA, American Univ.); among the first Hispanic women elected to the VA House. Co-chaired Bernie Sanders' 2020 VA campaign. Announced an April 2026 campaign for U.S. Congress in the new VA-07.
VA Delegate HD-22 (Prince William); sitting since Jan 2026, formerly HD-31 (2018-2024); now also a 2026 candidate for U.S. House VA-07. [2026-06 RESOLUTE refinement, state tier] Uniformly progressive HARD record. Sanctity of life: ChoiceTracker 'Pro-Choice Champion'; sponsored the reproductive-freedom amendment (HJ519, 2023) and abortion-coverage/contraception-mandate bills; voted NO on born-alive protections; co-sponsor of the 2019 'Repeal Act.' Economic: chief co-sponsor of the 2026 minimum-wage increase, repealed the public-sector collective-bargaining ban, paid sick leave; ILA limited-government scorecard 3% (2023). Elections: patron of no-excuse absentee voting. Public justice: patron of an expungement bill; raised the felony-larceny threshold (leniency-direction reform). Immigration: spoke on the House floor AGAINST an anti-sanctuary-cities bill. 2A: publicly backs red-flag orders, universal background checks, and ghost-gun restrictions. Roman Catholic but publicly pro-choice. Marriage/LGBTQ, family/education, and the 2026 second-reference amendment votes (HJ1/HJ2/HJ3) rest only on caucus-bloc inference, not a confirmed individual roll call, so those cells are left null. No conservative-direction deviation found.
