Candidate statement:
Democracy is not a spectator sport, it's a participatory event. If we don't participate, it ceases to be a democracy. (Michael Moore)
People sit on the sidelines because they are not “political”, or not ”the type”. I am not either! However, I feel like Rosa Parks, not tired, but tired of it. I say No! You will not rape democracy give birth to homegrown terrorism and abandon the right to choose.
I am running to encourage and inspire others to “turn worry into work, fear into fight” (Ken Martin). It is not the time to sit on the sidelines or be sidelined. There is an unstoppable synergetic power in diversity. Proud 75 years young! In it to win it for future generations. It is always the right time to do the right thing and it is never too late to get into good trouble. Fired up!
