I'm so glad you joined our team, friend. Every stitch of work I do, I do it for people like you.

I couldn't be more proud that this team is fueled by everyday people who just want to do the right thing. It's powered by parents worried about health care; it's powered by students who need better, more affordable education; it's powered by women who want control over their bodies.

I'm a representative because of people like you that inspire me to fight for what's right.

As the daughter of a war veteran, I respect the sacrifices that our service members make to defend our country and I understand the need to take care of our veterans -- but more than anything, my father taught that we need to work toward peace and end unjustified war.

In high school, I wasn't allowed to try out for the cheerleading team because of my skin color. I knew that was wrong, inhumane, and unjust. Working with the NAACP, I successfully challenged the discriminatory policy and integrated my cheerleading team. But I never forgot the way discrimination felt, and have since dedicated my life toward fighting for social justice, like increasing affordable housing, ending discrimination in the marijuana industry, and stopping police brutality.

Over the course of my political career, I have met the most incredible people. Often their stories are ones of struggle -- crushing student debt, choosing between life-saving medicine or food on the table, overcoming systems of oppression, and others. But each one of their stories ignites a fire within me to never give up the fight for what's right.

So now I'm going to ask you to tell me your story. I want to hear what's on your mind, what issues are most important to you, and what you think I should fight for. It will only take a moment and your responses will help set my agenda.
