I felt so proud and emotional voting for @ewarren today. 13 yrs ago, I emailed her asking to join her empirical methods class. I was a transfer and was told that some professors wouldn't give me the time of day. She was kind, encouraging, and responded almost immediately.
Going to her class was intimidating and exhilarating at the same time. She pushed us to think beyond legal doctrine and to consider the consequences of the law in people's lives. It was clear she cared deeply about her students and improving people's lives more broadly.
Later when I broke down in her office hours telling her my life story and why I wanted to study bankruptcy and financial failure, she encouraged and inspired me. From then on she made it clear she was in my corner and would help in any way she could.
Over the years, @ewarren remembered that I wanted to be an academic and checked on me with gentle reminders/encouragement to finish my articles. I'm not gonna lie, I finally submitted my first paper because she and @katieporteroc kept asking me about it.
I'm all in for @ewarren because I know she'll fight hard and smart to break down the systemic barriers that are oppressing so many Americans. The "smart" part is important. She not only has great ideas and proposals but specific reasonable plans to implement them.
We're going to need all the technocratic and legal know how we can muster if we're going to roll back and fix the million issues this administration has created. @ewarren has the plans to do this and a track record showing she can. See, e.g.,
