As the State Representative for District 65B and chair of the Saint Paul Delegation, I have championed policies that strengthen working families, support our unhoused neighbors, and invest directly in the neighborhoods that define us. I helped secure funding to expand more than 5,000 voluntary pre-K seats so more children can start school ready to thrive. I delivered nearly $3 million to Listening House to expand day-shelter services in Saint Paul, and $2.4 million for Ramsey County organizations ensuring families facing crisis can access rental help, utility relief, mortgage assistance, and emergency support.
“My roots run deep in the very soil of our state's first Latino community. This profound connection doesn't just inform my identity—it forges my mission,” Pérez-Vega said with deep pride. “In the entire history of Minnesota, no Latina woman has ever served on a county board. I stand poised to break this barrier, not merely as a candidate, but as a bridge. This is about building a legacy and better future together. My candidacy is grounded in the unwavering values of empowering the forgotten voices and honoring the rich history of our Latino community in every decision made.”
