Candace reminds me of myself -- a female candidate of color running for office to fight for the change our communities need right now.
Candace is also relying on grassroots fundraising to help her flip this seat. And right now, this race is close. She needs all the support she can get to build her momentum.
She knows the struggles of working class families.
She grew up in a military family. Experienced homelessness as a child. Became the first in her family to graduate from college. And she fought for Texas students at the Carrollton-Farmers Branch school while raising a family of her own.
I know she will be a fierce advocate for change for the people in Texas’ 24th District.
But flipping this seat won’t be easy. Donald Trump is focused on keeping Texas red.
