House of Cards
In the first, second, and sixth seasons of House of Cards, she played Linda Vasquez. From 2013 to 2014, Linda Vasquez, an American political consultant and former lobbyist, led President Garrett Walker’s White House as its 26th chief of staff. Prior to this, she served as Walker’s 2012 presidential campaign’s senior advisor. Vasquez is an American-Cuban citizen. She attended the University of California and graduated from there.
Vasquez, a tough and industrious woman, is known for her ability to maintain focus on the President’s political security, public policy objectives, and time management. Despite her reputation for being honest, she is also clever, grace, diplomacy, and tact. Vasquez’s first task as Chief of Staff is to inform Frank Underwood that President Walker has broken his pre-election pledge to appoint Frank as Secretary of State. Vasquez requests Frank to support and guide Walker’s legislative agenda, including a measure on education reform.
Vasquez’s son Ruben, who had a strong desire to enroll in Stanford University, is rejected by the university, causing guilt for putting her political career ahead of her family. Frank manipulates Ruben’s rejection of the Vice President post by using Stanford alumna Gillian Cole. Vasquez confronts Frank about his aspirations for the vice presidency and helps him project himself as the most qualified successor.
When Vasquez discovers Frank is secretly undermining Walker’s presidency, they struggle and undercut each other. Their personal battle over who will have the most sway over President Walker erupts, and President Walker accepts Vasquez’s resignation. Linda Vasquez thanks Frank for helping her land the Chief of Staff position and promises not to retaliate against him in the media. She awards him the first Medal of Honor given to a Hispanic American by the U.S. government.
