With all of the Kennedy talk, lets take a look at Amy Hoover Sanders.

Amy Hoover Sanders is the wife of the U.S Congressman Beto O’Rourke. Amy was born into an influential family in Texas and grew up in a charged, political atmosphere. Armed with a degree in Psychology, Amy was passionate about teaching from a young age. However, she became a recognized name in the media after she married Beto O’Rourke, whom she met through a blind date. Their unbinding love and support for each other is always highlighted, and Amy is always seen alongside her husband across his campaigns in the country. She is also an accomplished entrepreneur and has set her passion of teaching into a philanthropical journey by co-founding the La Fe Preparatory School. Currently, Amy works as the Director of Education Development for La Fe Community Development Corporation and remains an influential educator in El Paso.


The Famous People

Who is Amy Hoover Sanders, Beto O’Rourke’s Wife? Parents, Family

The name Beto O’Rourke won’t sound strange to anyone who follows events in America’s political circle, most especially as it concerns the 2018 Texas Senate Race. Throughout the campaign trail, wherever you see Beto, you will most likely see Amy Hoover Sanders beside him, but yet not much is known about this woman who has been identified as the politician’s wife.

Well, Amy is no ordinary American woman who was fortunate enough to get married to a popular Congressman. In her own right, as well as being from an influential Texas family, Mrs. O’Rourke commands a lot of influence as she also has a good career going for her. Find out more below.

Amy Hoover Sanders is a Texas woman who was born to Louann and William Sanders, sometime in 1983, in El Paso, Texas where they raised her. There are no records yet of what high school she attended but we have it as a concrete fact that Amy enrolled and graduated from Williams College in Massachusetts with a degree in psychology.

Reports have it that Sanders had always had a passion for teaching and following her college graduation, she decided to pursue her passion as a teacher. She started off in Guatemala by teaching kindergarten pupils for a year at Colegio Americano de Guatemala before returning to El Paso in 2004 where she began teaching first and second-grade pupils.


Heightline

There is a considerable amount of redundant information between the links.

They seem to come as a team. I really like what I see and read about both of them. I have no interest in voting for Beto in the primary. I have my reasons for that and don't want to get negative here. I will say that this might be a duo that can take over the political landscape for the next decade. His energy and image alone might be able to move the political spectrum more than anyone else we are looking at. Only time will tell.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
