Ana Navarro was born in Nicaragua and immigrated to the United States in 1980 at the age of 8. She is a political strategist and commentator with expertise on Latin American, Florida, and Hispanic issues. She also has vast expertise in supporting losing, but principled, Republican candidates. Navarro was the national Hispanic co-chair for John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign, has advised numerous federal and state campaigns in Florida and nationally, and is one of the leading Hispanic (and long-suffering) Republican political voices in the U.S. She provides political commentary on CNN and Telemundo and is a co-host of ABC’s The View, where her appearances reflect her reputation for honest, blunt commentary and speaking truth to power. She lives in Miami with her high-maintenance Hispanic husband, has no children, and her houseplants tend to die. She maintains no hobbies or activities that require significant attention span or physical exertion.
