“Her Name is on
the Dollar Bill”
Take out a dollar bill and you might see Anna Escobedo Cabral’s signature. This trailblazing former US Treasurer is driven by an unwavering passion for uplifting people.
Anna’s family were migrant workers and “junkers” who collected and sold scrap metal. From these humble beginnings, she was the first to go to college and began a life of public service. Anna was the director of the US Senate’s Judiciary Committee and Republican committee for Hispanic Affairs.
Her powerful journey from the migrant stream to the halls of Congress is a testimony to Latina grit, vision, and determination.
