“This Campaign Is About the Common Good.”
I’m not in this race to divide people. I’m in it to remind us that politics should be rooted in respect, care, and accountability - in loving our neighbors and working for the common good.

Let us be honest about the moment we are living in. Powerful people are trying to roll back policies that fight racial inequality, weaken protections for LGBTQIA+ Americans, soften the language on hate symbols, and even redefine which groups qualify as domestic terrorists.
