I have never abandoned my capacity to hope — because I am living proof of what’s possible.
I was a kid who grew up thinking the bottom could fall out at any moment. A kid who didn’t always do the best in school, who had a different color lunch ticket.
But I had my family. My aunties. And I had my faith.
And so with a little help from things like Medicaid and Section 8, and the Child Care Assistance Program, my mom and I got a little closer to the middle class.
I went to college and earned a degree. I got jobs working for Senators Wellstone and Franken, and for the Children’s Defense Fund. I became a school board member, a state representative, and the highest-ranking Native American woman in executive office in our country.
I believe in a country where families can thrive, where healthcare and education are accessible to all, and where equitable opportunities are more than just words.
This is more than just hope — it's a shared vision of what we can achieve together. But it requires all of us to come together, using our voices to demand a new era of leadership in Washington.
