   When I ran for Congress in 2018, I had never been a political candidate
   before, so I didn’t do politics the way things had always been done.
   Political consultants asked me what I wanted to campaign on. When I said
   that my top issue was housing (after all, I had been a foreclosure fighter
   during the financial crisis), they said that that wasn’t really an issue
   that politicians focus on. I did it anyway.
   After hearing me talk about being a minivan-driving single mom, another
   consultant commented that it would be so great if I actually had the van,
   so we could use it as a prop in a photoshoot. (Dude, it’s not a prop; it’s
   actually what I used to drive my three kids to school!)
   When it came to financing my campaign, I committed from Day One to reject
   donations from corporate PACs, and despite doubts from some operatives,
   I’ve stuck to my promise.
   All of this—doing politics differently and relentlessly focusing on what
   families need—is possible because of emails like this one and supporters
   like you.
   When I sat down in those hearing rooms to ask tough questions of the
   witnesses before Congress, I knew I had the power of a grassroots movement
   behind me.
   Ahead of our June fundraising deadline, when we’ll have to publicly report
   how much we’ve raised, I need your help again. [ [link removed] ]Can you chip in
   $5 to show everyone that we can campaign differently than
   the way things have always been done—and win?
