Meet Rosa
A nurse, a neighbor, a fighter
Rosa Delgado grew up on the east side of Demo City, the daughter of a machinist and a school cafeteria worker. She was the first in her family to finish college, earning her nursing degree at Demo County Community College while working nights.
For sixteen years she has cared for patients in the emergency room at Demo County General, where she helped organize her coworkers into a union to win safe staffing.
Rosa and her husband Miguel live on Elm Street with their two kids, who both go to Lincoln Elementary.
Why I'm running
Every night in the ER I meet people who did everything right and still can't keep up. I'm running to bring their stories to Lansing, and to get results.
