The working-class son of immigrant parents from Colombia and Mexico, Ruben Gallego went to college at Harvard, scrubbing toilets and working at a meat packing plant to pay his way. He joined the Marine Corps after college and deployed to Iraq as an infantryman in 2005 where his unit saw some of the worst fighting of the war. That experience led him to public service. Ruben has served in Congress since 2015 and is currently running for re-election to Congress in Arizona’s 3rd Congressional District.
