Impact

I have been wanting to work in politics for sometime. I see how the government treats those less fortunate and it is shameful.  The richest nation on Earth should never have these.  But unfortunately we do. I want to change that. I would love to became a part of an organization dedicated to those goals.

Mission

I wish to became deeply involved with the progressive moment and to one day run for public office.
