I had to share this with you.
On Monday night, I sat down with Stephen Colbert to discuss dignity and diplomacy and how I have always had a strong conviction against any decision which violates human rights. You can watch the full interview here.
My grandfather spent four years in jail alongside Mahatma Gandhi in protest of British colonialism during the Indian Independence Movement. This is deeply personal to me.
In my interview, Colbert unearthed a letter I wrote to my local paper when I was in junior high condemning then-president George H. W. Bush for his decision to enter the First Gulf War, risking the lives of American soldiers for economic gain. Even at 14, I knew it was vital to advocate for diplomacy and human rights above all else. You can listen to the full story here.
I am running for re-election because I believe, like my grandfather, that dignity is non-negotiable. Dignity is the way you treat yourself, it is the way you treat others and how others respect you in return.
It should never be taken lightly.
