Early life

Rubio was born and raised in New Mexico by immigrant parents. She earned her undergraduate degree in Government at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, before getting a master's degree in Latin American Studies from California State University in Los Angeles.[3][4][5] Rubio cites Dolores Huerta as an inspiration in how she opened doors for Latina elected officials.[6]
