Luisa del Rosal is running for Texas House District 114 to keep Texas exceptional. We need strong leadership in the Legislature to champion the kitchen-table issues that matter to our neighbors and counteract harmful liberal policies that recklessly spend our tax dollars, leave our communities vulnerable to crime, and enable the humanitarian crisis at our border.

Luisa is dedicated to keeping Texas exceptional because she knows what we have here is special.  Growing up, Luisa saw the alternative to a free and fair society.

Born and raised in Mexico, Luisa always wanted to make a difference but learned as a young girl that Mexico is a country where there was no rule of law and where individual ambition and talent are not given free rein. But, instead of resigning herself to not achieving her dreams, Luisa sought something more.

That is why she came to Texas and followed the rules to become a United States citizen. Luisa enrolled at Southern Methodist University (SMU) where she earned dual bachelor’s degrees and a Master’s in Higher Education Policy and Leadership.

After graduating, Luisa ran a program at Education is Freedom where she worked with local businesses and Mayor Tom Leppert’s office to provide underserved students with internship opportunities to better prepare them for the workforce and college.

Driven by her passion for education, Luisa returned to SMU and currently serves as the executive director of two Research and Public Policy Centers. A national leader on Texas-Mexico relations, she is the youngest executive director at the University, as well as the only Hispanic to head up two Centers.

Luisa is a Republican because her experience as an immigrant made her passionate about empowering people with freedom, opportunity, and personal responsibility. She found those things in Texas.

Luisa is committed to protecting our Republican free-market principles. Values that have given her and countless others an opportunity to succeed. She will keep taxes low and regulations reasonable, so Texas remains the nation’s leading job growth state.

Luisa grew up in Mexico with metal bars on her windows. She knows if we don’t protect our citizens, we risk losing what makes Texas exceptional. Failed liberal border policies and efforts to defund the police put us all in danger.

Education is the great equalizer and our best economic development tool. Luisa will use her experience to ensure our children excel in the classroom and beyond.

Luisa lives in North Dallas with her husband Ricardo. She is a dedicated volunteer of the Junior League of Dallas and serves on several nonprofit boards, including Communities in Schools-Dallas Region and the SMU Catholic Campus Ministry. Luisa and Ricardo are members of St. Rita Catholic Community.

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

Texas is an exceptional place. We stand on principle, and we fight for what’s right. They say “As goes Texas, so goes the nation.” It’s true, which is why we need to stand up for our values, now more than ever.

I am a young Hispanic woman and a first-generation American. It can come as a surprise to some that I am a Republican, but it shouldn’t. My experience as a millennial Latina who immigrated to Texas has made me deeply passionate about furthering policies that empower individuals with freedom, opportunity and personal responsibility while ensuring our government fulfills its primary responsibility to keep us safe.

We must keep taxes low and regulations reasonable, so we can create jobs and provide for our families. We must prioritize education because it is the great equalizer and our best economic development tool. I care deeply about these values, and I know am not alone.

Young people don’t want handouts. We want an opportunity to show the world what we’re capable of achieving. We want a strong economy that provides good-paying jobs, so we can better our lives through hard work. We want low taxes, so we can keep more of what we earn and provide for our families without the government stepping in.

Women are heads of households, entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers, engineers and CEOs. We know every penny counts and every decision matters. We want government out of the way so we can be empowered to decide what’s best for our families and businesses. We want a strong education system that prepares our children for the jobs of the future.

The Hispanic community is diverse and dynamic. I immigrated to America, following the rules, for a better life where I have the opportunity to reach my full potential. That opportunity exists here, in Texas. There are countless more like me. We are business owners, employees, and hard workers that deeply believe in the power of individual responsibility and the strength that comes from valuing faith and family.

My name is Luisa del Rosal. I am a young Latina immigrant, and I humbly ask for your vote for State Representative. Together, we will keep Texas exceptional!

Respectfully,

Luisa del Rosal
