Michelle Cortez

Hi, my name is Michelle Cortez. I'm from McAllen, Texas, so right there on the border, literally seven miles away. And I would like to run for Congress in District 34 to take the seat away from Vicente Gonzalez, who I don't know how many of you know has actually been Nancy Pelosi's attorney for many years, and he has done nothing for our district.

But I do not want to fall into the trap of lobbyists. How would you recommend or is there any advice that you can give me staying true to the party and accountable to my constituencies, assuming that I win?
