20. Living Outside of the Box with Catalina Lauf

Catalina Lauf is a 27-year-old Latina who ran for Congress in the 2020 Republican Primary for Illinois' 14th Congressional District. She ran as an anti-establishment candidate and was branded as the Republican version of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC). On this episode of LatinEQUIS, I speak with Catalina about her journey to running for Congress, being a Latina, assumptions about the Republican party, the need for newer and younger voices in US politics, and identity.
