@wusa9 coverage of our race in VA #HD87. All us 4 candidates are first-generation Americans. That's great - but remember: diversity is a means, not an end. If we don't harness it to build something > the sum of its parts, it will descend into disorder.

That's why representation matters. Our legislators should look like our communities. Fighting for people from 115 countries for the past 15 years has taught me a few large lessons about the strength of the human spirit and the struggle for prosperity:

But I've also learned many specific lessons about unequal impact on various communities, both intentional and unintentional.

It's that experience I want to bring to Richmond: not just from my own experience, but what my clients have taught me.

I hope to earn your vote on 6/11.

Last night, the 4 Dem candidates for VA's #HD87 met (for the first time!) in Leesburg for a very intensive forum. We got into the weeds about issues affecting our district and beyond.
After introductions, we got down into the weeds about issues affecting our district and beyond: mass incarceration, teacher's pay, workers' rights to collective bargaining, development and its environmental impact, governance, and of course - traffic.
My work as a lawyer serving the people of #HD87 for the past 12 yrs impacts the way I see solutions to these problems.

On mass incarceration, I see heavy disparity in arrests, overcriminalization, and lack of paths of redemption as I've run up against these walls in my practice.
