RAUL RUIZ REPRESENTS DESERT HOT SPRINGS IN CONGRESS. HE’S A FRIEND OF THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY. A VERY GOOD FRIEND. AND HE’S RUNNING AGAIN.

The son of hardworking farmworkers, Dr. Ruiz grew up in Coachella, CA and learned at an early age that the key to attaining the American Dream is hard work and a great education. In the summer of 1990, Raul walked in the desert heat from business to business in the Coachella Valley asking them to invest in their community – by contributing to his education. With each investment for college, he made a promise to come back home and serve his community as a physician.
