During last week’s debate, we watched all the Democratic candidates for President discuss their hopes and plans for our country. We watched all the candidates take on the issues that everyday people are facing. And, we watched as one candidate in particular had the courage to ask the tough questions and demonstrate the strength to handle difficult situations. We watched Kamala Harris remind us of how policy directly affects people.

Informed by her upbringing, Kamala has presented a policy agenda focused on increasing access for ALL Americans, lifting families up to ensure no child has to be told that something is not possible.

What is missing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is a leader and a fighter–a leader to work in the best interest of the American public and a fighter for the rights of all those in pursuit of the American dream. What is missing is a President grounded in truth – even when it is not self-serving.

Kamala Harris is the perfect antidote to our current President’s false narratives. With her intellect, strength and empathy at the helm, we can work to be better together. Senator Harris has laid out a powerful and bold vision for this country that is inclusive of everyone’s lived experience and grounded in the belief that success should not be defined by race, gender, socioeconomic status or zip code.

Kamala knows what it takes to move us forward as a country, and I am proud to endorse her for President of the United States.
