Born in Chihuahua, Mexico in the outskirts of the Sierra Madre Occidental, Salvador grew up with his 3 siblings and parents. As a young boy he liked to play soccer and ride his bicycle with his friends. He moved to Las Vegas, NV at the age of 15 with his mother and siblings in search of a better future. There, while still in High School, he volunteered a local campaigns to raise the awareness of Latinos in the electoral process. He then moved to the Centennial State on 2014 to register to vote and turnout Latinos in the Midterm elections as an organizer with Mi Familia Vota. One of his major inspirations is his High School History teacher, Isaac Barron, who taught him how to be a better person and to fight for justice for the rights of immigrants in this country.
Salvador graduated from the College of Southern Nevada and majored in business administration. He loves dogs and likes watching Stanley Kubrick films.
“I am looking forward to learning, sharing and thinking critically on how we can build a stronger movement that is inclusive and fair to lead the fight for justice in Colorado.“
