I

Greetings

I have been a life-long Democrat (at least since I got old enough to vote), but was minimally active while I was in the States, though I did campaign for Barack Obama. Since moving to Panama approximately 8 years ago, I have been active with Democrats Abroad, serving on the Nominating Committee a couple of times, before becoming Vice Chair. I have also participated in voter registrations and assisted with voting for primaries, etc. I live in the Boquete area.
I work with my team here in Panama toward the following goals for my beloved United States:

• Welcomed people of all colors and ethnicities, faiths, beliefs, and languages from all across the world.
• Women are perceived and treated as equals, in their work, and personal lives and have control of their bodies
• A person is judged by their character and integrity, not their social position.
• People can live without judgment about personal lifestyle choices.
• People can live with respect for what they earn and have decent, affordable, or free health care.
• Where the elected officials work for the benefit of their constituents and not greedy lobbyists.

 

Elections have gotten very heated with incredible amounts of money being spent on campaigning, where scare tactics and outright lies are being used to influence millions of U.S. citizens. We need to make sure all Democrats, no matter where they are residing, have the ability to vote in all the upcoming elections. I will work hard to make sure Democrats Abroad make it as easy as possible for all Democrats to have their voices heard.
