from MichelleForTX15.com:

"Michelle Vallejo is a small business owner and a fierce community advocate from South Texas.

She comes from a big family of farm workers, immigrants, and entrepreneurs. She believes that everyone, with integrity, hard work & dedication, deserves the opportunity to accomplish their American Dream."

"Now, Michelle and her father own and operate Pulga Los Portales, a flea market in Alton. For nearly 25 years, the Pulga has been serving thousands of people weekly and has helped dozens of working-class entrepreneurs start and run their own businesses and provide for their families.

During the pandemic, Michelle saved people's jobs by adapting to a drive-thru model and keeping the market open. Running Pulga Los Portales and serving the larger community has profoundly defined Michelle and her family values and work ethic to this day.

At the pulga, they like to say, "No somos pulgueros. Somos vecinos," "We're not just vendors. We're neighbors." It is this proud sense of community and work ethic that Michelle carries in all that she does."

"Michelle was the 2022 democratic nominee for TX15. She's running for Congress to be an advocate for all South Texans, bring down healthcare costs, help small businesses grow, defend our seniors, stand up for our veterans, and to make quality education affordable for all."
