“While this may come along trite, I have always looked up to my maternal grandmother, "nana." She was no stranger to pain and sorrow, yet always seemed to move beyond her personal issues to help her community around her. If a neighbor was hungry or had a death in the family, my nana was one of the first ones to provide a hot meal, a helping hand, and a listening ear. She introduced me to my favorite movies like Boys Town with Spencer Tracy and Keys of the Kingdom with Gregory Peck.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection)

“Movies that encourage the underdog to be their best. Going my way, keys of the kingdom, to kill a mockingbird, mr smith goes to washington, boys town, sparticus. All of these movies were films I engaged with as a child and all have made their mark on my purpose for standing up for what's right, to protect all people, and to be a voice for those who are so often ignored or rejected.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection)
