In an interview with “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?”, actress Eva Longoria criticized the attitude of politicians who seek votes during elections and do not change the lives of voters. The actress even gave advice to politicians: "Don't park a taco truck in front of your door before every election and expect to get your vote."

Longoria served as national co-chair in former President Barack Obama's 2012 re-election campaign. She also criticized the attitude of politicians who try to speak for the people, according to her “I think that's what politicians get wrong, they want to speak for the people”.

The actress of the “Desperate Housewives” series has participated in two editions of the Democratic National Convention event, in 2012 and in 2016, and also presented the event in 2020. Despite this, she claims to have no interest in entering political life. For her, we have more power as citizens than as politicians, since the most powerful part of democracy is the citizen.
