Ruben
is the son of immigrants who was raised by a single mom on a secretary’s pay alongside his three sisters. Growing up, he worked whatever job he could find to help support his family— at a pizza joint, construction sites, and a meatpacking plant — before earning a spot at Harvard. Ruben deployed to Iraq in 2005 where his company saw some of the highest casualties of the war. A Marine combat veteran, Ruben was elected to the Arizona State House in 2010 and the U.S. House in 2014 where he has served as a voice for Arizona’s veterans, hardworking families, and seniors for over a decade. Ruben is married and lives in South Phoenix with his wife Sydney, son Michael and daughter Isla.

Ruben deployed to Iraq as a United States Marine Infantryman in 2005 where his company saw some of the hardest combat and the heaviest casualties of the Iraq War, losing 22 Marines and a Navy Corpsman in eight months.
