It's still worth trying
I will always, always believe that it's worth trying, even if you don’t see a way — because ways emerge.
I was not supposed to get elected to Congress, by any stretch of the imagination.
I was insane.
It’s not just a cute story — I was wiping down a bar and asking people to vote for me. It wasn’t a summer job I had once. I was not supposed to win.
The guy I was running against spent $3 million against me, and I was making $2 in my paycheck once a week because I was working off tips and they take it all out.
But things happen in America. This is still a place of possibility.
In solidarity,
Alexandria
