Ex-DACA Recipient Elected to New Mexico Legislature, Makes History
Cindy Nava, a former DACA recipient and Biden administration official, has made history by winning a seat in the New Mexico Legislature, representing an Albuquerque-area district. Nava, who immigrated to the U.S. at age seven, has been an advocate for undocumented youth and was the first DACA recipient to receive a White House political appointment. As a state senator, she plans to address issues like high housing prices, homelessness, and education, aiming to enhance representation for New Mexico's Hispanic-majority population.
