A LEADER YOU KNOW & TRUST

Our nation currently finds itself at an inflection point. A point in our shared history where we must decide what kind of country we will be in the coming years. 

Will we be a nation that respects our democratic traditions? Will we be a nation that embraces truth, diversity, and progress? Or will we be a nation that clings to the past and is built on anger, lies, and divisiveness?

I have spent my entire adult life fighting for a better, more fair nation--for all citizens. Whether in elective office at the local level, as a leader in the Democratic Party, or the area of non-profits, I have been at the forefront of the fight for a 21st Century that reflects who we really are as a nation.

I understand how frustrating politics and government can be, trust me. Progress comes slowly, but we can't give up the fight. We must keep the faith, fight for what is right, and remain steadfast in our battle for the soul of this great country.
