Lupe Valdez, Candidate for Texas Governor
|
Lupe Valdez’s story is the story of Texas. She has lived the Texas dream and is running for governor to ensure ALL Texans have an opportunity and a fighting chance.
She grew up the daughter of migrant farm workers in the poorest neighborhood in San Antonio - but because she got a quality public education, served in the United States military, was able to earn a living wage, and had access to healthcare, she had a fighting chance.
Lupe is a veteran, a former federal agent, a four-term Sheriff of Dallas County - and she’s not done fighting for Texans yet. With her nomination, she has become the first openly LGBTQ and Latina major party candidate for Governor in Texas and in the United States. Her candidacy is a signal to every child that no matter the color of your skin, who you love, or where you come from, in Texas, you should have a fair shot. Lupe is running to give the everyday Texan a voice. Please visit

“Because of my mother, I went from the crop fields to the classroom. I was fortunate to succeed and be the first in many things, but I am running so that I am not the last. That is why we keep fighting—so that others can have a fair shot and follow in our footsteps.” - Lupe Valdez
