Wednesday I filed for office for the State Representative for District 22. I had my family at my side supporting me, but the person who is most proud of me is my mother.
I remember my mother at my side when I was a little girl picking tomatoes in Oswego and telling me that we can become whatever we want to in life. Wednesday she was at my side again encouraging me.
It is hard not to have a lump in my throat and swell with pride and to tell my mom she was right. The American Dream is indeed still alive.
