I grew up in a small working class town here in California where everyone knew each other. My dad was a teacher, and my mom was a secretary. They worked hard, but always made time for family.
At first, my parents couldn't afford to send me to a university -- so I started at community college instead. Like many students at the time, I paid my way through school by working part time.
For me, hard work paid off. But after 20 years of teaching students, it's clear that opportunities to get ahead for many others are being cut short by politicians like Kevin McCarthy.
Kevin has represented us for nearly 15 years with absolutely NOTHING to show for it except being a lapdog to Trump and his wealthy donors.
I hear stories every day from my kiddos and their parents about the challenges they face -- while they work harder than ever, wages have stagnated and the ultra-wealthy are getting richer and richer.
Heck, my family has had our fair share of struggles too, but like many families here in the Central Valley, you just learn to deal.
It's unacceptable that our current representative is doing so much to hurt our community. Despite the odds, we must do something about it -- that's why I'm stepping up to run for Congress and why I'm asking:
We're coming up $11,301 short of our weekly goal to DEFEAT Kevin McCarthy. That means we need to see A TON of supporters chipping in a grassroots donation before tonight. Can you kick in $3 today to help us meet the mark?
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
Thanks in advance,
Marisa Wood
Teacher for Congress
