From Wikipedia:

Born in 1971 to a land-owning family in Nicaragua, Navarro is the daughter of Violeta Flores López and José Augusto Navarro Flores, a former Minister of Agriculture under the administration of Enrique Bolaños Geyer. She and her family moved to the United States in 1980 because of political turmoil, though her father stayed behind to continue to fight with the Contras against the Sandinista government. She later said that then-U.S. President Ronald Reagan’s support of the Contras made her a lifelong Republican.”

Navarro was a vocal opponent of Roy Moore in the 2017 Alabama Senate election, due to the allegations of sexual assault and molestation against him. In the 2018 Florida gubernatorial election, Navarro voted for Democrat Andrew Gillum over Republican Ron DeSantis because of DeSantis’ ties to Trump.

She is a strong supporter of LGBTQ+ Rights, In February 2013, Navarro publicly supported the legalization of same-sex marriage in an amicus curiae brief submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court. In 2017 she spoke out against the Trump Administration’s ban on Transgender Individuals serving in the Military, calling it “repugnant”. In 2019 she was given the Ally Leadership Award by Equality California for her activism in support of the LGBTQ+ Community. In 2022 she criticized the passage of the Florida Parental Rights in Education Act nicknamed the “Don’t Say Gay Bill” calling it “completely unnecessary” and in 2023 spoke out against Drag Panic and anti-drag legislation saying “I hate how drag queens are being made into a political issue, into a manufactured, made-up cultural issue, because I tell you what: No drag queen ever killed a little kid … Guns kill little kids If you care about children and their safety, Go after the guns, and leave the f*cking drag queens alone!”
