The First LGBTQ+ Hispanic Member of Congress?
As thousands of women have hit the streets to protect their freedoms and for gender equality. Hundreds more have been struggling to democratize every space through the pits of politics.
That's the case for San Diego nominee Georgette Gomez, who seeks to become the first queer Latina in United States Congressional history.
Raised in an immigrant familiy of the working class in San Diego and having first-hand experience in working-class neighborhoods across the country, Gomez studied in Environmental and Natural Resource Geography at the San Diego State University and saw her first chance in raising her community's voices when a seat opened in the City Council in 2016, when Marti Emerald decided not to run for the next election.
Emerald, who has not attended several gatherings as a City Council while she went for treatment for bosom malignant growth, decided to resign.
On the off chance that Emerald decides to do what she has planned, the following year's election would include in any event three vacant positions which are hers, Councilman Todd Gloria, and Council President Sherri Lightner.
The job includes speaking for 9 districts, which incorporates the areas of Southcrest, Alvarado Estates, Talmadge, City Heights, Mountain View, College View Estates, El Cerrito, College Area, Mt. Expectation, Kensington, and Rolando.
In 2016, Gomez completed the first round being the second. a spillover permitted her to get the votes expected to dominate because no applicant got a larger part of the votes.
The City Council cast a ballot consistently after two years to select her as the president for the Council and when she reported her bid for the 53rd Congressional District, starting January 2019 until October 2019, she filled in as leader of the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System.
Gomez, according to her foundation, has presented a political vision lined up with the dynamic wing at the national level, for Medicare for All, growing moderate lodging, lessening vagrancy, putting resources into open travel and framework, supporting clean air and water, shielding migrants' privileges, and battling for increasingly government financing for San Diego people group, with a crusade concentrated on nature and to face Trump's risky motivation.
Her crusade site includes that Georgette is a long-lasting network coordinator and a previous partner executive of the Environmental Health Coalition, where she drove the Toxic-Free Neighborhoods Campaign to shield kids from lead paint and continue contaminating enterprises out of private networks. They also added that prior to her vocation, she filled in as an exploited people's backer for overcomers of abusive behavior at home and sexual maltreatment.
Thus, her bid has gotten the underwriting of associations, for example, the California Democratic Party, California Federation of Teachers, the LGBTQ Victory Fund, the California Labor Federation, UNITE HERE, among others, just as significant political figures, for example, Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, presidential competitor Bernie Sanders, and a few individuals from the new age of Congress, for example, Nanette Barragán, Pramila Jayapal, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
