Reminder: You’ll see people in nice cars at food assistance events. That doesn’t mean they’re doing fine. Jobs can disappear fast. Hours get cut. Families get stuck with large bills.
That’s why better transit and real support matter. And it’s why food assistance and mutual aid are so important.

While canvassing, I chatted with mom who works three jobs and still sells plasma to make ends meet. She has a master’s degree. She works in STEM. She has a “good” job on paper. And she’s still struggling.
Too many Marietta families are doing everything right and still can’t get ahead.

Fun fact: Your favorite mayoral candidate isn’t even eligible to serve on the Boards and Commissions in Marietta. You have to be at least 25 years old to serve.
Maybe it’s time we change that.

Please run for municipal seats. Mayor. City Council. School Board. We need people who care.
