Looking forward to presenting at Western Political Science Association - #WPSA23 Latina/o/x Politics Workshop. Register to join us on zoom harvard.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

On this so -called “Equal Pay Day” please remember that it’s not even close for Latinas. It will take us an additional 7- 8 months to catch up to everyone else. Often overlooked, Latinas are the lowest paid demographic in America. The only cure? A union!

I decided to try my luck in articulating an opinion of Latino Republicans in the current era, and they published it in Newsweek. Thanks to Dominik Doemer and Scholars Strategy Network (bsky: @scholars.org) for helping me place this essay.
