John, as we’re inching closer and closer to Election Day, I want to share a story on my mind about my first race two years ago.
I ran for Congress in 2018 because I was tired of corrupt officials and special interests taking advantage of working families like mine, and I wanted to do something to put an end to their powerful control of our government. A Democrat hadn’t represented this district in decades—but our movement to flip it blue grew stronger by the day. After a tough battle against Republican incumbent Mimi Walters, the race was still neck-and-neck on Election Day.
By the end of the day, we wanted so badly to celebrate a win, but the results were too close to make a call.
So we decided to sleep on it, and waited to hear results the next day. And then the next day. And then the next day.
To be honest, John, I thought that I had lost. We were being told that the numbers didn’t look promising, and I started to call supporters and thank them for all their efforts even though we fell short.
But a little over a week later, the race was called...and we ended up making history. We officially flipped this district blue, and this single working mother of three was heading to Congress.
A lot has happened since then, and it has been an honor serving my community during my first term.
I’m running for re-election because working families deserve to be represented in Congress now more than ever. And I’m not done fighting.
My right-wing opponent is working hard to take back our district this year. With your support, we can keep building our momentum to win outright this time around, and show that our movement is just getting started.
