I am the First Hispanic professional woman to run for Lt Governor in North Carolina. I am a Paramedic and a Firefighter in multiple states. Small Business Owner in Healthcare, VP of HiveMind AI/Healthcare, Bachelor of Science, Management and a Masters in Health Care Administration with a concentration in Clinical. I have my certs in FEMA, Homeland Security, Elevator Certified and Inspector. I have 4 children and Married for 25 years this December 2023.
- Education, Children's rights. Parent's rights. These are key issues that concern all citizens of North Carolina.
- Equal Acess for all NC citizens for competent, professional, affordable healthcare.
- Access for all NC citizens, higher education, job opportunities. Common sense approach to immigration. Address our agricultural needs.
Education, Healthcare, Immigration, State infrastructure and Department of Transportation Budget.
The office of Lt. Gov. offers the incumbent the option for oversight on legislative bills before the General Assembly, and--working with the state auditor--provides the incumbent the authority to require audits of expenditures, and--along with other legislative issues affecting the farming and business communities throughout the state--indicates that the office of the Lt. Gov. can have a direct influence on the successful budgeting of state revenues and expenses. The position also offers the Lt. Gov. direct input with the state Board of Education regarding the successful development and operation of community colleges and public schools. These are all responsibilities which I will aggressively address as Lt. Gov. of North Carolina.
Foremost, a person elected to public office must demonstrate personal character traits of integrity. That speaks to being someone whose word can be trusted. It is also necessary an elected official to be well-informed about issues affecting his/her constituents, and to have an open and empathetic ear to their concerns. A public official must demonstrate professional management skills that ensures constituents that the official’s office is competent, well-run, and is fully engaged and involved with the most relevant issues affecting the state and its residents. Without these character traits and professional expertise, it is not likely that the elected official will effectively succeed in office.
I would like to leave here knowing that I did everything in my power to make the world a better place and hopefully encourage others to do the same.

Without question, the state cannot operate successfully without a balanced budget. The role of the Lt. Gov. enables the incumbent to leverage the authority of the office to coordinate efforts across all other state offices to make sure that state revenues are properly budgeted and accounted for. As President of the state Senate, and as a member of the state Capital Planning Commission, the Lt. Gov. has direct influence on the conduct and efficiency of these offices, and how the impact of those state operations affects the financial well-being of the state and its citizens.
No. It is highly unlikely that anyone running for public office is unaware of the intricacies and intrigues that so often burdens the successful functioning of the government. It would suggest a stunning amount of naivete to suggest that only someone with prior experience in government or politics is capable of succeeding in elected office. To the contrary, it is all-too-often noted that private sector experience brings a wealth of new insight, ideas, and energies into public office that ultimately enables the more successful operations and development of those public offices.
