George Valencia was born in East Los Santos on November 8th, 1989 to immigrant parents Antonio and Catalina Valencia. His parents were Mexican immigrants who migrated to the United States sometime in the early eighties due to the increasing violence and instability that was occurring in Mexico at the time. His father, Antonio had found home in San Andreas, more specifically within the Eastside of Los Santos. There, his father found employment at a local meat packing company where he worked for several decades and made enough to support his wife and children.

 

George and his younger brothers, Anthony Valencia, and Pablo Valencia grew up in a very impoverished neighborhood with a high concentration of Latino residents. Unfortunately, crime was prominent, and a heavy gang presence was the norm. In fact, the three brothers were known for being delinquents in their early teens, often breaking into homes and stealing vehicles for parts. Unfortunately, this was commonplace and just simply part of the culture within the neighborhood. 

 

This clearly disappointed their father who immigrated from his homeland due to the troubles going on back home. George’s father quickly realized that the deterioration of him and his brothers would continue unless he found a solution to their problems. His solution was to enforce education and the pursuit of individual growth. This was met with rebellion by the three brothers, but through support and ultimate patience, the three eventually found their way.

 

Although life in the neighborhood was difficult, George and his siblings grew up with parents that were always there to provide support, and life was much easier because of that. Eventually, in his own pursuit of individual growth, George’s father began reading extensively in regards to personal finance, and investment knowledge. He was unsatisfied with the living conditions he and his family were in, and his hours at the meat packing company were being reduced which meant less pay. He was determined to dig himself out of this hole.

 

He continued reading up on the subjects, now becoming intensely passionate in the subject. At this point, he was also working two jobs, but would read and learn during his breaks or whenever he had free time. Over the years, his father saved up enough money and with his newly gained knowledge, Antonio established an investment company involved in foreign currencies where he would analyse and then invest in a variety of national currencies. He named it Valencia Trading and continued to slowly, but surely expand its investments into different securities.

 

At this point, George began learning through the mentoring of his father and his teachings of financial securities, and investments. Throughout the many lessons that he learned from his father, one particular lesson seemed to be of high importance, and that was the lesson of impact investing. A form of investing that benefited the economic and social well being of the community. His father emphasised the importance of this form of investing, because it ultimately gives back to the community which in turn provides growth and prosperity to the people within it.

 

Later in his years, George studied at the University of Los Santos, San Andreas, where he double majored in Finance and Economics. While going to ULSA, George moved in with his brothers in La Puerta to be closer to the University, but also to enjoy the local beaches. Shortly after his graduation, he was commissioned into the US Army where he served successfully for four years and discharged honorably at the rank of Captain.

 

It was around this time that George’s father, Antonio Valencia became gravely ill, and unfortunately passed away at the age of fifty two due to kidney failure. The stability of Valencia Trading was shaky due to Antonio’s illness, but it remained stable enough for the company to be passed onto his children.

 

The Valencia brothers have now inherited their father’s company and faced the challenges of expanding the company. They first expanded the company by increasing their investment in commodities, securities, and then established a way to provide clients with proper credit loans. These expansions have allowed the company to prosper greatly. With these changes made, the Valencia brothers decided to re-establish the company into a financial institution, and renamed it Valencia Capital, Inc.

 

With Valencia Capital in full swing, George continued with his father’s legacy by imposing one of his most important values, serving the community. George did this through impact investing, and by donating funds to people in need within the local community of East Los Santos. With this in mind, George decided to move back to East Los Santos to be closer to the community he had been a part of since his childhood, and is where he now resides.

 

After the successful growth of Valencia Capital, George began to also grow in popularity among the financial sector of Los Santos, even being invited to join the San Andreas branch for the National Bureau of Economic Research. George, seeing this as an opportunity to improve the future economics of his city, gladly joined the organization as an Economist.

 

Soon after, the Democratic Party of Los Santos began recruiting for positions within the party and one of those positions was for the candidacy of East District Representative. This presented a grand opportunity for George as he’s always wanted to be involved in bringing his community to prosperity. Even though he had always provided financial support through local charities and direct impact investing, this was a way for George to impact his community through legislative means.

 

Fortunately, George was accepted and officially recognized as the Democratic candidate for the East District by the Democratic National Committee. His slogan “Building a stronger community. Together!” is a testament to the dedication and passion that he feels towards uniting his district. He is a proud East Los Santos resident and aims to dedicate his life to bring his community into a better and brighter future.
