Beyond thrilled to see my sister @TarraSimmons5 announce her candidacy for the Washington State legislature!

“If ultimately elected, Simmons said she would bring the Legislature her lived experiences of having been in foster care as a child, experiencing homelessness, becoming a teen mom and being part of the criminal justice system.”
^ THIS TWEET IS AN ENDORSEMENT 🙌
Tarra would be the first formerly incarcerated person elected to the Washington State legislature — and possibly any state legislature.
All this said, it would be lovely to see future media coverage of her candidacy describe her in terms other than “convicted-felon-turned-lawyer.”

May I suggest: supreme badass lawyer who’s about to make history.
