My husband Conan and I just visited the Secretary of the Commonwealth to collect the nomination papers I need to get on the ballot and officially run for re-election to Congress:
Now, we need to collect 2,000 signatures from registered voters in MA-07, and we need the resources to support an inclusive, intentional organizing effort that engages people throughout the Massachusetts 7th district.
I remember how Conan and I both felt — nervous, excited, hopeful — the first time we pulled papers in 2018. Those feelings are still there. But, looking back at the challenges we’ve faced these last three years, I’m proud of the progress we’ve made.
I’m so thankful for your support and faith. I hope to continue earning your trust and partnership — because our work is far from over. Our communities are still hurting. Justice has yet to be realized for too many. Change (still) Can’t Wait.
Thank you so much for your support. I am so grateful that you’re a part of this movement.
In Solidarity,
Ayanna
