Gus Trujillo
Occupation: Office Manager
Why are you the best candidate for voters to support in the 13th District?
“I am the best candidate for voters to support because I was born and raised here at our home. I want to make a real difference for our community because I know that we have the potential to do great things just like any metropolitan area does today. We can get the same attention and the same opportunities with someone who will prioritize those while in office. Many of my friends have moved on to larger cities because they find better opportunities. I have the chance to do that as well, but instead I’ve chosen to remain here where I grew up. I made that choice to stay because I have the passion to make my home an even better place for future generations to come.”
