Hey Friends,
Bri here.
This is not going to be a normal politician holiday email. It's possibly too personal, but since you're supporting me - I want you to know who I am and why I'm running for office.
The holidays are incredibly emotionally difficult for me. I was adpoted, so my first set of parents cast me into the West Virginia child services system. Then, when I came out to my adoptive family years later, they disowned me.
Losing one set of parents is hard. Having been discarded by two sets of parents nearly broke me. I was homeless not long after being disowned by my family.
So, my perspective on the holidays is different. I feel an intense sense of purpose for all the people out there hurting and cast aside, just like I was. I feel that I was put on this earth to survive that horror and make sure it didn't happen to others.
So, as the holidays go on - my thoughts are with the 40,000 homeless veterans in America. I am thinking of the 46 percent of bankruptcies that will be caused by our broken healthcare system. I'm thinking of the 40 percent of LGBT youth that will seriously attempt suicide.
I didn't survive losing my family by myself. And I feel a moral obligation to pay it forward by fighting for others. When I am serving in Congress, I will fight all day every day for the unheard, for the unhelped and the unheralded.
December is a make or break month for our team. I hope you will consider supporting us. And, if the holidays are tough for you - please shoot me an email and I'll make time to call.
