I'm proud to share that the Working Families Party has endorsed our campaign for Bay City Commission.

The WFP backs candidates who answer to working people — not donors, not party bosses. That's the standard I've tried to meet since the day I was appointed to this seat: show up, vote on the record, and tell you why. When our welcoming community resolution was vetoed, we didn't let it die. We brought it back and passed it 8–1.

I don't treat an endorsement like a trophy. It's an obligation. It means people whose politics start at the kitchen table — wages, housing, the cost of getting by — looked at this campaign and said: keep going.

This November is the first time my name is on a ballot. Campaigns like ours win the same way this endorsement was earned — neighbor by neighbor, on the record. Thank you, WFP.
