Early life

She is grateful to her parents for helping to instill in her the knowledge of collaborative labors such as farming, which enabled her to live and survive in the countryside and live with the dream of America.

The far left are destroying the American dream. When I was little my family legally immigrated to America. They taught me conservative values: faith, family, & hard work. I will not let the far left & socialist policies by the Biden Administration destroy this great country #TX34 pic.twitter.com/43L4WzyNzr
