Who is mo

---

From navigating the foster care system and housing instability to rising through the ranks of Texas politics, Mo's journey is one of resilience, clarity, and deep-rooted commitment to community.

Mo currently serves as Deputy Chief of Staff to State Representative Jessica González and Executive Director of the House LGBTQ Caucus, where she works to ensure marginalized communities have a voice in shaping state policy. Her work inside the Capitol is focused, strategic, and unapologetically people-centered—grounded in the belief that the best policy is shaped by those closest to the pain.

She began her political journey young, breaking barriers as the first openly trans person elected to student government at Texas A&M–Corpus Christi, where she later served as Student Body President. 

That same drive and vision now guide her work in the Legislature, where she's helped pass critical legislation like the Sickle Cell Disease Registry and the Burn Pits Registry Fund, and played an instrumental role in the 2023 defeat of vouchers through her work with Rep. Abel Herrero on his famed "Herrero Amendment."

Mo's approach is always grounded in lived experience and honest about the stakes for everyday people. What drives her work now is both the past and the future—hearing elders say they "already took on this fight" as the same battles resurface fuels her determination to continue the fight for equality and justice, so the next generation won't have to.
