They put us in photos when they want to show our party is diverse. However, when we ask to be at the table, or speak up about issues that impact who we are, what we fight for & why we ran in the first place, we are ignored. To truly honor our diversity is to never silence us.
I did not run for Congress to be silent. I did not run for Congress to sit on the sidelines. I ran because I believed it was time to restore moral clarity and courage to Congress. To fight and to defend our democracy.
My heart breaks seeing people celebrating war. It is not the answer. Never is. Look at history, and the world today. Humanity should be our priority. Give peace a chance. Give dialogue, communication and connection a chance.
