Alex Vazquez is a U.S. Air Force Veteran, a law student, and the son of Nicaraguan refugees. As a veteran, he believes its important to speak up for refugees, aslyum speakers, and immigrants. "Everything I’ve aimed to do after my service in the military has been, in some way or another, motivated by how I believe I can best contribute to the betterment of our society, as opposed to personal gain, and how to strengthen our capacity for public service."
