When I was five years old, my family fled communist Cuba. We left behind a regime built on government decrees, central planning, and the false promise that state mandates could magically cure economic pain. I learned a lesson early in life that has stayed with me ever since: government can order a price to be lower on paper, but it cannot order a scientist to discover a cure, an entrepreneur to risk capital, or a business to survive in a broken or fixed market. That history drives my work today. At Latinos for Tennessee, our advocacy is rooted in free …
