Veronica is a dedicated leader with over a decade of experience advocating for marginalized communities across Arizona. As Vice President of the Latino Indigenous Coalition of Arizona, a non-partisan organization, she leads efforts to educate and empower Latino and Indigenous communities through civic engagement, policy advocacy, and leadership development. Her work centers on amplifying community voices, advancing civil rights education, and equipping residents with the tools and resources needed to engage meaningfully in the democratic process and influence public policy. Veronica has played a key role in multiple statewide and local campaigns, including the successful Stop Dark Money campaign (Proposition 211), which strengthened political transparency by requiring disclosure of original donors. In addition to democracy reform, Veronica has organized around environmental justice, pollution, and the impacts of gentrification, with a particular focus on housing stability. Her advocacy has included addressing mass evictions—especially in mobile home parks—while championing tenants’ rights and affordable housing solutions. Veronica’s leadership reflects a sustained commitment to equity, accountability, and empowering communities to shape the policies that affect their lives.
