Today we are sharing a powerful conversation with Yurina Gil, a Cuban immigrant, CPA, and candidate for Congress in Florida’s District 26.
🇨🇺 Yurina came to the United States from Cuba at 18.
🏙️ At 19, she stayed in Miami on her own.
💼 She built her career through education, work, and resilience.
🗳️ Now she is facing one of the hardest parts of democracy: getting on the ballot.
In this interview, Yurina speaks openly about the cost of running for office, the lack of support many women candidates face, and why ballot access matters before voters ever get to Election Day.
She also shares a beautiful reflection on immigrant identity — describing herself like a multi-layer cake, with Cuban roots, American life, and many cultural layers added through experience.
At Miss Immigrant USA, we believe immigrant stories belong in civic life.
This conversation is not about endorsement. It is about listening, learning, and understanding who is stepping forward to serve their community.
