Standing Up for Freedom: “Now more than ever we need strong representation at every level — local, state, and federal. We are planning a campaign that aims not only to win our race but also to boost turnout to help elect strong leaders at the top of the ticket. This will require a lot of hard work and resources, but we can do it with your help! Will you join us?”
(Campaign website) “I am passionate about achieving educational, environmental, and economic justice for all. The current system simply does not work for the majority of us. The status quo is unsustainable, and the issues facing our society have only increased since the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey) “I choose to identify my heroes from people I know, not famous people I've never met. My parents remain the biggest influence in my life. They have lived lives of service, and have accepted and supported me, my 6 siblings, our partners, and their 16 grandchildren with the grace of saints and the wisdom of sages.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey) “I listen, keep an open mind, and then make my decisions. I also follow Quaker teachings to both recognize and value everyone I encounter and try to understand them on their own terms.”
