​"We need more than 'thoughts and prayers' from our politicians": A Meaningful Talk on Gun Control With Activist Alex Navarro

From immigrating to the U.S. as a young child to finishing law school to being elected as the first Latina in the state legislature, Brenda López Romero now aspires to be the next congresswoman representing the 7th Congressional District of Georgia. The Democrats Abroad Hispanic Caucus had a great discussion* with Rep. López Romero in learning more about why she's running and what her platform issues are. As a fully-bilingual lawmaker, we definitely appreciated López Romero speaking directly to GA-7 voters living abroad and to our Spanish-speaking caucus members.
