Carlos is a proud Air Force veteran, small business owner, husband, father, and lifelong conservative Texan with deep roots in San Antonio. Inspired by his grandfather’s military service, he enlisted in the Air Force at 17 and served for 20 years, including deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan after 9/11 and later protecting the southern border from cartels. After retiring, Carlos and his wife built a successful business while mentoring young people and overcoming government obstacles through hard work and determination. Not a career politician, Carlos brings a lifetime of service, leadership, and a mission-focused mindset to Congress, where he is committed to advancing President Trump’s agenda, standing up to the radical left, and fighting to preserve the values of faith, family, freedom, and opportunity for future generations.
