Lives are at stake, in this district and around the country. As a teacher and children's minister, I saw the effects of bad public policy on a daily basis. My daughter has arthritis, and when my husband lost his job, Gwen offered to pay for her own healthcare./1
I benefitted from free lunch and Pell grants, and I know how important our safety net is. I also value hard work: we began the campaign when my husband held two part time jobs while searching for a position, and I taught summer camp all day and hit the trail at night./2
It's time we had Representatives who truly understood what it is like out here in the real world, who value compassion, common sense, and decency. It's time for more mothers, and I plan to #fightlikeamother on behalf of the entirety of #GA10. /fin#
