A human-trafficking survivor and mother of four, making her first run for Congress.
Peña founded a nonprofit that helps everyday Texans understand their rights and represent themselves in court when they can't afford a lawyer, and served on two Austin city boards focused on public safety and policing. Now making her first run for office, she's campaigning as a conservative whose top goal is fighting human trafficking.
