“I decided to become a deputy, to at least give it a try,” she said. “And after I tried it, I found out I loved it.”
Deputy Hidalgo looks forward to working with the youth in Santa Clarita Valley and being a motivating force for the positive.
“I thank my dad for getting myself and my siblings where we are in life. And I want to try and motivate the students, to push them on to the right paths, and make good choices.” said Hidalgo.
