We need more Lucys and more Ayannas in Congress

Representation matters Hi John, My friend Rep. Lucy McBath and I have quite a bit in common. We both decided in 2018 that we were not going to “wait for our turn” to run for Congress. In 2018, we became two of the 23 Black women who served in the 116th Congress. Four years later, headin…

The tragedy at Sandy Hook was 10 years ago today Dear John, It was ten years ago today, but I remember it like it was yesterday. Ten years ago, a man walked into Sandy Hook Elementary School in a small town in Connecticut and murdered 26 people with an AR-15 rifle. Twenty of the victims …
