Transcript:
If those in power walked in my shoes, they’d know what it means to grow up poor.
It’s why I became a foster mom to children with backgrounds like mine.
Then a public defender, protecting people from a system that discriminates against them.
And a delegate who expanded Medicaid and brought reforms to our justice system.
Now, I’m running for governor to stand up for the left out and left behind, and I won’t stop until all of us can thrive.
