John, it’s no coincidence that most politicians serving in Congress don’t understand the struggles of everyday folks like you and me. I didn’t have the financial resources to attend college or the wealthy relatives to cut checks at a moment’s notice. I had to overcome institutional barriers to build a successful life for myself and my children. So when I was deciding to run for Congress, I knew I wouldn’t have the same advantages that many other candidates have. But I have you – and if we’ve got each other, we’ve got this, too. I know that together we can defy the odds and secure this seat. Can you rush a donation right now to get me there? >>

John, as much as I want to share who I am and why I’m running for Congress, I also need you to know how I got here.

I was brought up in foster care and raised in redlined neighborhoods. No one expected someone like me to run for Congress. I’m here against all odds.

By my mid-twenties, I had five children, multiple jobs, and nowhere to turn. Every system that was supposed to keep me safe failed me instead… but I refused to give up.

John, I was able to defy the odds: as a mother, a City Council member, a mayor, and now, as a candidate for Congress.

Now, I need you to help me defy the odds once again. I have a real path to victory, but I need grassroots support from donors like you, John, to win against the GOP’s dark money donors.

Please, if you can, chip in $27 right now to support my campaign for MD-06 >>
