Rene Borghese is a fighter and a hard worker. Whether it’s fighting to work her way up in the nursing profession or fighting off her bout with cancer, Rene won’t quit. She grew up in Arlington, Texas with modest means and worked her way through college to earn her nursing degree.

From there, Rene never looked back. She’s risen in the ranks of healthcare professionals to become a flight nurse and she currently serves as the Director for Logistics of the Air Medical Program for Duke Life Flight. Along the way, Rene and her husband both fought and overcame their battles with cancer. 

Now Rene wants to take her fighting spirit to Washington to fight for the people of North Carolina’s 4th congressional district.
