[1]Bowman for Congress

John,

Last week, Jamaal asked you to share stories of teachers that have changed
your life in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week. Hundreds of you wrote in
with touching stories about how teachers, coaches, and counselors have
made a meaningful difference in your lives to this day.

We wanted to share a few of those stories with you today:

Mrs. Lightfoot was my high school literature teacher. She saw that I could
never put a book down, and she took the time to invest in me and my love
of reading. Thank you, Mrs. Lightfoot, for challenging me to reach higher,
for introducing me to countless books that changed my life, and for making
me feel like I could do and be anything."

"The late Ms. Hilda Mason saw teaching talent in me before I knew that I
wanted to be a teacher. I was only 17, but she often asked me to go to the
board and show students how to solve equations and geometric proofs."

"Mr. O'Leary taught everything at Palmer Elementary School in Denver
during the 50's and 60's! He was a scholar, spoke five languages, and
could have done anything. We loved him."

"Mrs. Mary Whidby Bowman (my grandmother) was a first grade teacher for
more than 40 years… Her love for teaching and positively shaping the lives
of young people was an invaluable gift to countless students. They would
often credit my grandmother for her direct influence on their lives and
pay her visits to say thank you."

"Mrs. Sinitsky was my high school math teacher and my volleyball coach.
Both on the court and in the classroom, Mrs. Sinitsky created an
environment of support, compassion. She taught me to be confident in
myself and to reach out for support whenever I needed it. While I’m
nowhere close to being a mathematician or volleyball star today, I still
often remember the lessons she taught me and cherish them as I continue to
grow."

These stories demonstrate over and over,
John: teachers have changed and
saved millions of lives, and their work is what love looks like in action.
As we continue our fight to transform our nation and to center and
prioritize care in our economy, we must continue to listen to, support,
and uplift our teachers and educators.

Jamaal is one of the few educators in Congress today, and he brings a
solutions-oriented approach to leadership based around empathy, active
listening, and care — the kind of leadership that's greatly needed in
Washington.

And since he took office, Jamaal has been working closely with other
members of Congress and the White House to ensure that the progressive
perspective is being heard and our educators, children, and families are
prioritized.
