Marco Rubio Research Paper

Marco Rubio (my candidate)
I. Personal Biography Marco Rubio’s parents immigrated to the United States two years prior to the violent rise of Fidel Castro.1 Both of Rubio’s parents—Mario Rubio and Oriales Rubio—were not US citizens when he was born in Miami, Florida, in 1971.2 Ultimately, however, they both applied for US citizenship and were naturalized in 1975.2 Rubio undoubtedly comes from humble beginnings. Growing up in Nevada, his Father was a hotel bartender and his mother was a hotel housekeeper. Rubio is the third of four siblings—he has an older brother and sister, Mario and Barbara, respectively, and a younger sister, Veronica. They were originally raised as a Roman Catholic, however, began attending a Mormon church when the family relocated to Nevada. Nevertheless, Rubio now maintains his Roman Catholic faith and no longer practices Mormonism.
He committed to Tarkio College in Missouri on a football scholarship; however, in line with his humble beginnings, left after a year and enrolled in Santa Fe Community College in Gainesville Florida. He transferred from Santa Fe, and, in 1993, gained a Bachelors of Arts degree in political science at the University of Florida before attending the University of Miami School of Law—where he graduated cum laude in 1996.
In 1998, he married his wife, Jeanette Dousdebes, a former bank teller and Miami Dolphins cheerleader. Together they have four children and currently reside in West Miami,
