Back in 2019 as a newly-elected representative, I remember Speaker Pelosi implored us to “know our why.” Why are we serving? Why have we come to DC? To answer this question, I’ll borrow a phrase from Whitney Houston – I believe the children are our future. Each and every day, my granddaughters (along with my grandson, Sawyer) inspire my work. Why do I serve? To ensure that the future is safe, bright, and full of opportunities for girls like my Aubrey, Ella, and Scotland (and Sawyer, too!).
