“I always say, if you love someone, you want them to have quality healthcare, you want them to have affordable housing, the right to vote, to have food on the table, to get a good education, to have safety in their communities…
“That’s why I got into this fight, that’s why I wanted to represent you all, the people living in the very community I grew up in…
