My entire life has prepared me for this work.
My parents worked to instill in me a passion for politics and civil service. When I turned 18, I didn’t get a new car or anything like that - my parents took me down to the Courthouse so I could register to vote. I thank my parents for that moment — it was a gift that continues to provide meaning in my life and my work.
I am asking you to stand with me this election, because our work is just getting started.
