Candidate Statement

We live in the Greatest Country in the World.

In order to preserve this, we need new people fresh faces in the conservative movement to carry the torch for Freedom.

I am a direct product of the American Dream.

My mother and grandmother legally immigrated to this country from Guatemala. My father is a small-business owner from Chicago.

My story is only possible because of their hard work and sacrifice. They taught me the values of hard work, personal responsibility, and to have an unapologetic love of our country.

Today I see the far-left trying to divide us and trying to replace the American Dream with socialism.

I'm running for Congress because I believe it's time my generation defended the promise of the American Dream against those who do away with it for their own political game.

I was appointed by President Trump to his Administration and firmly support his America first agenda.

As a member of Congress, I plan to champion policies that will continue on the economic progress that has been made, help small businesses by cutting back mindless regulations, help preserve our individual liberties as Americans and promote policies that put the power back to the people of this district.

United We Stand Divided We Fall. And IL voters, I ask you to vote for the future.

I am committed to being a lion on a national scale, to fight back the regressive economic policies and destructive rhetoric, in order to bring a brighter future, preserving the American Dream for generations to come.

Lauren Underwood does not reflect the values and priorities of the people she represents and that's a crisis of democracy in IL-14.

The hard-working people in the district need someone who is going to fight for the things that matter to them the economy, national security, health care and having safe and secure borders.

It would be an honor to earn your support. Vote for Catalina on March 17th.

Candidate Q&A

Why are you running?

We live in the Greatest Country in the World. In order to preserve what has made its greatness, we need new people fresh faces in the conservative movement to carry the torch for Freedom. I am a direct product of the American Dream. My mother and grandmother legally immigrated to this country from Guatemala. My father is a small- business owner from Chicago. My story is only possible because of their hard work and sacrifice. They taught my sister and me the values of hard work, personal responsibility, and an unapologetic love of our country. Today I see the fringe, far-left trying to divide us and trying to replace the American Dream with socialism. I'm running for Congress because I believe it's time my generation defended the promise of the American Dream against those who do away with it for their own political game.

What is your vision for this office?

I was appointed by President Trump to his Administration and support his America first agenda. As a member of Congress, I plan to champion policies that will continue the economic progress that has been made over the last three years, help small businesses by cutting back mindless regulations, help preserve our individual liberties as Americans and promote policies that put the power back to the people of this district. I also hope to put forth positive solutions to solve our immigration crisis, the high cost of health care and cutting our spending that is contributing to massive debt. United We Stand Divided We Fall. And IL voters, I ask you to vote for the future. I am committed to not only being 1 of 435 members, but a lion on a national scale, to fight back the regressive economic policies and destructive rhetoric, in order to bring a brighter future in preserving the American Dream for generations to come.

What do you think is the most pressing issue facing your constituents and how do you plan on addressing it?

The pressing issue here in the 14th is that we have a radical representative in Congress. Lauren Underwood is running to impeach the president, enact the Green New Deal, and Medicare-for-All. She can not even say she supports Americans' interests when one of the worst terrorists in the world is killed. She does not reflect the values and priorities of the people she represents. That's a crisis of democracy in IL-14. The hard-working people in the district need someone who is going to fight for the things that matter to them the economy, national security, health care. Lauren Underwood is only fighting to get government more entrenched in people's lives instead of fighting for solutions.
