She had previously served as the executive director of the Latino Network since 2009.[3][4][5]

Early life and education[edit]

Rubio was born and raised in Hillsboro, Oregon. She is of Mexican descent.[6] Rubio graduated with a degree in political science from the University of Oregon in 1999.[7]

Career[edit]

Rubio began her public service career in the offices of Multnomah County Commissioner Serena Cruz, Portland Mayor Tom Potter, and Portland City Commissioner Nick Fish. She served as a policy advisor and "worked to engage Portlanders on critical issues", according to her campaign literature.[8] Beginning in 2009, she served as the executive director of the Latino Network, a non-profit organization that advocated for Portland's growing Latino community.[8]

Rubio ran for Portland City Council in spring 2020, in a race to fill the seat then held by Amanda Fritz. In the May primary election, she defeated Candace Avalos, an administrator at Portland State University, to win election to a term that was officially to begin in January 2021.[9][10] She was sworn into office a few days before that, on December 28, 2020.[11]

On January 9, 2024, Rubio announced her candidacy for Mayor of Portland in the 2024 election.[12]
