As a 12-year-old helping my mom as a political organizer, we'd go out and canvas, - Last few houses and we'll be all done pushing myself a little outta my comfort zone, going to talk to other people.

It, it gave me that voice.

It gave me that opportunity to tell people how I feel.

Are you already to registered to caucus?

Oh, well you should because your voice matters first let me say that.

We also went out to get Hispanic voters to come out and vote, and it was just a really interesting experience that I think helped develop me as a person.

A lot has changed in four years.

Hi.

- You know what you're gonna get.

- Yeah.

- With Democrat and Republican, I have a hard time choosing on what side I am because I have views from both parties.

I have really strong feelings towards like climate change and also immigration, dealing with the economy.

I see more of the Republican standards and ideas.

- You know, he is almost a voter.

He's almost 18, he'll be 18 next year.

So I think it's really important for us to have real dialogue about the issues and understanding to the fact that he's not always gonna necessarily agree with me, but the more, the more important thing for me is that he's taking a position on it.

That he is actively thinking about it and trying to understand it.

- How do you feel about Kamala coming tomorrow?

- She comes, I feel like she comes often - To Vegas.

I'm not as involved as I used to be.

I didn't specifically feel excited for Joe Biden, but when I found out Kamala Harris was gonna be the the candidate, I thought to myself, I think it'd be great to inspire a lot of young women and a lot of young women of color and people of color as a whole, because we don't see too much of that in office.

My views have changed since, well, the Bernie Sanders campaign.

But I have one thing that I'm certain of, and I am certain that Donald Trump is not the best candidate and is not a good candidate at all.

My mom, she was undocumented for so long and had a lot of issues and a lot of troubles just being in this country, just living like normal people.

- After Trump was elected into office, it changed our lives.

It no longer felt welcoming.

And I think as a parent, we try and do everything we can to reassure our kids that everything's gonna be okay.

But during that time, I know that it didn't feel that way, and I didn't feel like I could tell him that everything was gonna be okay.

- Me and my mother were always scared, you know, she gets pulled over.

What if my mom gets deported?

Right.

And that's why I, when I was younger, I really involved myself into politics, into fighting for my mom to be in this country.

And it was me and my mom against the world.

In 2028, it'll be the first time that I'm gonna be able to vote and my mom will be able to vote.

So it's a big thing for both of us.

- I now am a permanent resident, so I am on my pathway of one day becoming a US citizen.

- Having the opportunity to vote with my mom, I, I, I think it's, it's amazing.

It'll make me feel like I have a little more strength in my voice, for sure.
