John,
Only 2% of Congress comes from a working-class background.
Think about that: while folks in the Central Valley stretch every dollar, and make tough choices to get by, the people making our laws are mostly millionaires who’ve never had to struggle.
That’s why this campaign matters.
I didn’t grow up with privilege or connections – I grew up watching my parents fight to keep the lights on and food in the fridge. I helped out however I could, learned the value of a dollar early, and understood struggle before I understood politics.
I know what it’s like to do everything right – to work hard, play by the rules, and still face roadblocks at every turn. That experience shaped who I am, and it’s exactly what’s missing in Congress right now.
This campaign is about flipping the script – and flipping the seat. Together, we can shatter that 2% ceiling – and show what working-class power really looks like.
