Every Citizen Has a Seat at the Table
Vanessa Faura believes every citizen has a seat at the table. She has spent her career helping people take it.
A Peruvian-American leader in civic engagement and coalition building, Vanessa has carried that message from neighborhood doorsteps to the national stage. In 2024, she addressed the nation in prime time at the Republican National Convention.
Today she is Director of Programs & Engagement at Restoration of America, where she leads the Citizenship Masterclass, a national program with more than 1,200 completions in its first year across several states. Before that, she served as Executive Director of Moms for America Action, and at the Republican National Committee as National Director of Women's Engagement, where she launched the Republican Civics Initiative across 19 states and, the Women’s Walkathon, a national political turnout drive that mobilized women to knock doors and get out the vote.
Vanessa is also host of The Mom View, a streaming show featuring high-profile guests. She holds an MA in Organizational and Strategic Communication, is a former gubernatorial appointee, and is an inaugural 2025 Nestpoint Foundation Freedom Fellow.
Grounded in faith and grateful for the opportunity America offers, Vanessa speaks and trains in English and Spanish. Her mission is clear: restore the founding principles that made America free, so citizens know them, love them, and defend them with confidence.
