Natali Hurtado is a Latina who says she will fight for a stronger public education system, easier access to healthcare, and a more prosperous economy in her city of Houston, Texas.
Hurtado has seen support by prominent groups and politicians like Beto O’Rourke, the Latino Victory Fund, Planned Parenthood and the Houston Black American Democrats.
Deputy executive director at Hawes Hill & Associates, she works with the board of directors to improve the district through public safety initiatives, environmental and urban design projects, and community development programs.
She became a single mother at 19, and had to work through school while relying on her family and social assistance programs.
Still, Hurtado graduated from the University of Houston and moved on to earn a Master’s degree at the University of St. Thomas.
Her background was critical in her subsequent positions with elected officials at Houston City Hall, the Texas House of Representatives and Congress, giving Hurtado a deeper knowledge of policies that affect her community.
