I often tell the story of my grandmother, Sarah Daisy, who wanted to work for the federal government. She taped a piece of paper to the refrigerator to teach herself how to type in order to pass a Civil Service Exam, which included a typing test. She practiced every day and soon landed herself a job at the Pentagon—her dream job. I am so honored to be her legacy.

Motivated by my grandmother’s story, I always knew I wanted to serve others.

We are in a good position to win the primary … because the coalition of people have shown up. They are excited.
