THREAD:
1) I’m a Democrat, running for Congress in 2022 from Wisconsin’s Sixth District. This is (part of) my story.

I grew up in Southfield, a city in the suburbs of Detroit, MI. My brother still lives in the Detroit area, but our parents are deceased.

2) My undergraduate degree is a BA with a major in political science (with an emphasis in political economy) and a minor in public administration, from Albion College, in MI. I got my JD (law degree) from Washington & Lee University School of Law, in VA.
3) I practiced law for nearly 20 years, taking time off now & then for various reasons, including when my grandmother died & I handled her estate, & from August 2018, when I lost my job after being diagnosed w/Stage Four uterine #cancer, which I beat, to the present.
4) My husband was born and raised in this district. We lived here, and got married here, from 2003-10, then moved to Milwaukee for work, then moved back to the district in August 2018, when we bought a house here. We’re staying.
5) I have an extensive skill set, based on a broad range of experience, including: having worked as an attorney, a human resources manager, an administrator, a researcher, & an author.
6) I have lobbied at the United Nations and the United States Congress, & brought litigation in the courts, for civil/human rights, & social justice issues, including better access to medical care. I have established charitable foundations & obtained tax exemptions for them.
7) I wrote one book on my own, & co-authored another. I’ve had significant responsibility for the drafting of many appellate briefs, including several to the United States Supreme Court. I have given presentations and speeches, and presented oral argument to appellate courts.
8) I have negotiated joint venture agreements, employment contracts, and liability protection arrangements. My career as an attorney has included lobbying, contract work, and complex class action litigation, including appeals – ...
9) and a case in which I was part of a team that brought $23.5M back into the Wisconsin economy, and saw the proceeds distributed to various entities, including a convent and the Milwaukee Public Schools. In my career, I've worked on 2modern-day slavery cases, 1 a class action.
10) I have the education, training, and experience to do an excellent job in Congress.

Please, help me flip Wisconsin’s Sixth District back to blue; IF you can afford it, please donate at the link below; if not, RTs are great support!

Thank you.

All the challenges to Leader Pelosi are coming from her right, in an apparent effort to make the party even more conservative and bent toward corporate interests.

Hard pass. So long as Leader Pelosi remains the most progressive candidate for Speaker, she can count on my support.


I agree that our party should, and must, evolve our leadership.

But changed leadership should reflect an actual, evolved mission; namely, an increased commitment to the middle + working class electorate that put us here.

Otherwise it’s a just new figure with the same problems.

I hope that we can move swiftly to conclude this discussion about party positions, so that we can spend more time discussing party priorities: voting rights, healthcare, wages, climate change, housing, cannabis legalization, good jobs, etc.
