At 19, I came to the U.S. from Cuba. From running a business to being a mom, I've learned what it takes to adapt through uncertainty. Now I’m running for NC House to advocate for working families, small businesses, and strong communities.

As a candidate for NC House, I credit my Cuban heritage for my resolve and resilient spirit. These strengths, passed down through generations, empower me to lead today, and I’m committed to building a future where every family has the opportunity to thrive.

Twenty-five years after our stunned nation grappled in unison with immense tragedy, the legacy of that tragedy is not defined by our losses alone. It is found most distinctly in the instinct to reach for one another.
May we never forget.

Especially here in our rural area, one-size-fits-all policies don’t work to our benefit. We should vote “no” to the HB1089 property tax amendment if we don’t want the state making decisions for local governments.

The challenges facing our public schools are real, but they are solvable. I’m running for NC State House to put students first and ensure our educators have the tools and the salaries they need to thrive. #FundOurSchools #PublicEducation #IrisBenderForNC #PutPeopleFirst

People want a leader who listens, shows up, and prioritizes their needs. I am running to be a representative who is present, transparent, accountable, and who puts the PEOPLE of District 87 first, because we deserve nothing less.

Our economy depends on manufacturing, healthcare, education, and small businesses, and we need policies that keep young people here while helping local establishments thrive.
