Friend,

Last week, I gave a speech to New Hampshire Democrats at their state convention - where I talked about why I got into politics. I ran my first congressional campaign under the refrain, “ I’m a former Navy Admir al, running on national security that begins at home, in health security. ”

My wife, Susan, and I watched as Alex, our then-four year old daughter was wheeled out of surgery with her saddened doctors beside her. We couldn’t get the brain cancer , they told us, and “she has three, perhaps nine months.” But our little warrior fought on, with the best medical specialists our nation could provide. With her courage, Alex beat that demon. I knew then that I needed to answer to you, the American people. Because you had kept your word by providing the military healthcare coverage that saved our daughter’s life.

As Alex's treatment neared its end and I had left the Navy, I thought of the day when she'd begun her chemotherapy. Susan and I could not help but overhear in that small room the conversation of hospital counselors with the family of the young boy who was Alex's roommate. He had just been diagnosed with cancer. But they were struggling to find out how he could stay, because the family was without health coverage. Susan and I knew well the anguish that they were feeling. That showed me we needed to work towards a system where every family had the health coverage that we had for Alex.

I changed from being an independent in the military to a Democrat to run for Congress. It was a nearly 2-to-1 Republican district where I had been raised. Bringing a sign my daughter had painted: “ Joe Sestak is walking in your shoes. ”

Respectfully,

Joe Sestak
