InfoTracy and her husband own a consulting business in Bozeman. Her work as a consultant to non-profit faith and community based organizations, communities, schools and churches, has shown Tracy about the problems facing Montana and she has been able to work toward solutions. She is often hired as a "problem-solver," - a skill she will use in Congress. Tracy helped develop a half-million-dollar Rural Health Outreach Grant for Libby to meet the needs of people suffering from exposure to asbestos at the W.R. Grace mine. She also coordinated efforts that resulted in better services for runaway and homeless youth, and mentoring for children whose parents are incarcerated. She is currently working to improve health care at rural hospitals in western Montana, and provides training and technical assistance to the Montana Faith-Health Demonstration Project.



Tracy Velazquez was born in 1964, and has three brothers. Her father, who is now retired, served in the Air Force, and worked as a long haul trucker and in manufacturing and construction. Her mother was a homemaker and is now self-employed as a technical writer. When Tracy was in grade school, her parents bought a small farm in northwestern Connecticut, where they raised Shropshire sheep and alpine goats, plus other livestock and vegetables for farm market. Tracy has a masters degree in public administration from Montana State University. She and her older brother were the first in their family to attend college; Tracy put herself through Harvard College on scholarships, loans, and working half-time during school. She is married to Dennis Alexander. She and Dennis have four children: Tom, age 12, Elizabeth, age 11, Zach, age 9, and Avery Anne, age 2. Tracy enjoys vegetable gardening and cooking, but especially likes making pickles and preserves. She and her family enjoy camping, hiking, and playing games.
