Broaden Access to Higher Education: Ramiro owes his success to the education he received as a student at The University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College. Ramiro will work to ensure that each person has an opportunity to receive a quality and affordable education.

Expand Transportation: For the last 15 years, Ramiro has been a proponent of improving the region's infrastructure.

Improve Health Care: With the growing population, the District continues to be underserved by the number of doctors in the region. Ramiro supports a full-fledge medical school and bringing research opportunities to this region that will serve to develop new treatments for chronic diseases like diabetes.
