John, the 2020 election cycle was a great one for DFA and our
candidates.

So we're spending the next few weeks highlighting the incredible stories
that show why we do this work and your critical role in helping us carry
out our mission.

Prior to being elected as Pennsylvania State Representative, Jessica
Benham was the Director of Development for the Pittsburgh Center for
Autistic Advocacy (PCAA), a grassroots self-advocacy project run by
Autistic people for Autistic people which she co-founded. Through her work
at PCAA and elsewhere, Jessica has worked to ensure that individuals with
disabilities are treated fairly in the legislative process and has upheld
a commitment to cross-movement solidarity, firmly believing that
marginalized people must work together to build power.

Jessica is the first LGBTQ+ woman and first autistic person elected to the
Pennsylvania General Assembly. She is also one of the only autisitic state
lawmakers in the United States.

DFA was proud to work to elect Jessica and help her a break glass ceiling
for those with disabilities to follow in her footsteps.

DFA is already endorsing and working closely with candidates for elections
up and down the ballot for the next cycle.
