heritage listed
Sure, I've listed myself as Cuban-American. That's my heritage and my background.
My mother was born in Wilmington, Delaware. She's a U.S. citizen, so I'm a U.S. citizen.
country music tend
I tend to listen to country music more than Cuban music.
capital state
I support capital punishment. But let's be clear: It's a decision for each state to make.
changed country music odd rock sort taste
I'll tell you sort of an odd story: My music taste changed on 9/11. And it's very strange. I actually intellectually find this very curious. But on 9/11, I didn't like how rock music responded. And country music collectively, the way they responded, it resonated with me.

I believe in the power of millions of courageous conservatives rising up to re-ignite the promise of America.

The federal government has not been effective enough monitoring and surveilling bad guys.
