While I decided back in May that I would seek re-election, I also decided I would wait until
the filing period to make any official announcements because I had a lot of personal life events going on, like getting married and travelling for our honeymoon. That said, I did get the ball rolling on updating my platform, website and social media accounts back in July. At that time, I applied for endorsement for re-election from Run For Something. They recruit young, diverse progressives to run for office, and then provide support the whole the way! You may remember they endorsed my first campaign for City Council as well. Check out the article from Run For Something regarding the July endorsement class, and checkout the candidate profile they created on my behalf. I've included both bodies of text in this blog post for easy reading, and also linked below!

“We are proud to throw our support behind each of these progressive leaders running for local and state office. Today’s endorsements are a milestone in Run for Something’s support for candidates, which often begins long before a candidate has even filed to run,’’ shared RFS co-founder and co-executive director, Amanda Litman. “Our support for our candidates from pre-filing all the way through Election Day is what makes Run for Something such a valuable resource to our candidates and alumni. That is how we build long-term, sustainable progressive power.”
