Dr. Michelle Gutierrez Cohen shares her experience growing up in Hays County, Texas, and her deep family ties to her community. We learn about her decision to pursue secondary education after the age of forty and how she completed her Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctorate degrees. Her dissertation inspired her to commit to running for office, starting a leadership organization, and sharing everything she's learned. True to her commitment, she is on the November 2022 ballot for County Commissioner for Precinct 2 in Hays County, Texas. She shares her pandemic experience of seeing a problem with health outcomes in communities of color in Hays County, and she immediately got to work to solve those inequities. The result of that problem-solving was the creation of Hays Latinos United. Dr. Michelle Gutierrez Cohen educates us on the role of County Commissioners and the structure of the Commissioners Court. We were reminded of the undeniable importance of Texas local races and the impact they have on our daily lives.
