Why This Former Trump Staffer Spoke at the DNC

The long road that brought me to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last night was a bumpy one. If you caught my speech or have heard my story before, then you know I am a Republican who worked in the Trump Administration.

So how did I end up here?

It wasn’t always this way. The road used to be pretty straight-forward—the epitome of the American Dream. I grew up in a working-class household in El Paso. We were conservative Texas Catholics. Dad was a truck driver. Mom is a Mexican immigrant who later became a U.S. citizen. They believed in the promise of America and raised me to believe in it too.

And I did. After earning my degree at the University of Pennsylvania, I began a career in public service that took me across the country, around the globe, and eventually to the White House, as a national security advisor to the Vice President of the United States. It was a dream come true for me and my family.
