We’re one week out from Election Day and our campaign is busier than ever.

Still, I wanted to take a moment to reach out and share a little bit more about me and how I grew up, because I think it helps explain who I am and what kind of Governor I will be. I hope you’ll take the time to read this and chip in to support our campaign in this final stretch.

I’m the oldest of five kids. My mom raised us on her own until my stepdad joined our family. Between taking care of us and working as a school nurse, she had her hands full. But she showed us that we could make it if we worked together and took care of each other. We were a team.

My mom also taught us about sacrifice. When I was young, she sold her wedding ring and used the money to pave half a basketball court behind our farmhouse. I fell in love with basketball, and I’ve been like a magnet to any court ever since.

After college, I played basketball professionally in Europe for a couple of years. Then I returned to Boston to go to law school, because I wanted to make a difference in people’s lives. That took me to the Civil Rights Division at the Attorney General’s Office, where I led the first successful state challenge to the Defense of Marriage Act.

I saw the power that government has when it comes to helping people and protecting their rights. And that’s why, in 2014, I ran to be the People’s Lawyer. I was a first-time, underdog candidate but with your support, we won — and have been standing up for the people of Massachusetts ever since.

I’m sharing these stories with you because they tell you who I am – not just as a person, but as a leader. My experiences have motivated me to run for Governor and build a campaign based on teamwork, serving others, and standing up for what’s right.

But to make it across the finish line and build a Massachusetts that works for everyone, I need your help.

Running for Governor is our greatest challenge yet. We only have 1 week left to reach undecided voters all across the state and share with them who I am. Our team’s working towards an $8,000 goal today to fund our final Get Out The Vote plans. Will you chip in $5, or more, to get us there?
