Annette Congress

Annette Teijeiro is running for US Congress NV CD3.  

Before her Cuban father, Puerto Rican mother, her brother and she moved to Las Vegas 40 years ago, they faced similar challenges as Latino immigrants who had endured many years without the opportunities afforded to most Americans. Undeterred, Annette learned at a very young age that commitment, education, and a sense of self-worth can changes lives.

While working as a translator for a law firm (starting at 16), she graduated with honors from Bishop Gorman High School. But rather than attend school out of state like many of her peers, Annette enrolled in the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), was selected Miss Nevada United Teenager that same year, and became a teaching assistant. Upon graduation, she entered the University of Nevada School of Medicine.

She is running against Andy Matthews, Danny Tarkanian and Michael Roberson.
