"We cannot forget our community and the people in it", says Tijerina, an active political activist for South Texas and nurse by trade, who is now running for U.S. Congress in the 2016 elections as a candidate for the Green Party of Texas, known for humanitarian causes, opposed to the political mainstream.
Tijerina for a Greener Texas campaign director Cary Lee Peterson says "I would love to do more in South Texas. Help is needed here and I think this election will deliver the right representative for the community."
Tijerina (37), a Hispanic-American who is a native of Raymondville, Texas working as a nurse since 1999, and has spent the past decade volunteering for minority, veteran, and women rights activities in Texas with the anticipation to bring awareness to medicinal marijuana, immigration laws, domestic violence, education, human trafficking, and job creation for minorities and military families in Texas. Her past works as a public servant and political activist have been mentioned in the local news. Her more recent interaction with Capitol Hill has placed her into delegations as an observer at a recent White House cyber-conference in efforts to combat discrimination against world religions.
Participants of the charity brunch events this holiday weekend can attend by arriving to IHOP in McAllen and mentioning that they are there on behalf of Tijerina for a Greener Texas or a guest of 'Vanessa Tijerina's Christmas Brunch' to receive a free meal during the duration of the event.
