TX-24: Candace Valenzuela Thinks Congress Needs More Latinxs, Working-Class, and Folks Who Have Been
As women of color make their voices heard this election season, the importance of representation becomes clearer. Alongside this, national awareness around key issues that affect communities of color are taking the lead in widespread conversations about policy and legislation.
Congressional candidates like Candace Valenzuela are determined to elevate the importance of challenging our current systems in pursuit of better futures. She is running against retired Air Force Col. Kim Olson in the Democratic primary runoff for Texas’ 24th Congressional District on July 14th in hopes of flipping the seat that has been occupied by Rep. Kenny Marchant for sixteen years.
With a background and upbringing steeped in experiences that encompass the current American experience, she brings the perspective of someone who has lived through the ins and outs of the existing institutional systems. I had the opportunity to talk with her about her platform and what she’s about.
