Miguel is a young democrat whose platform puts working families before special interests. He is the son of an immigrant, was raised by middle class parents and is working hard to put himself through school at the University of Rhode Island. Miguel is an organizer with the Sunrise Movement, a group of young people fighting to stop climate change and ensure a just transition for frontline communities. While working with Sunrise, he has seen how our government consistently puts the profits of big corporations before the people and places we hold dear. Some of the issues that he’s most passionate about are affordable housing, quality public education, a $15 minimum wage, and a Green New Deal for Rhode Island.
