Debate Breakdown by Topic
Mental Health Therapist & Advocate
"I'm a proud immigrant, a mother, a veteran's wife, and a mental health therapist. I came here at 15, had my daughter young, and worked as a dishwasher, server, and house cleaner to succeed. Our district deserves a leader who has lived our working families' stories."
Process Engineer & Organizer
"I grew up here in a mixed-status family from Sonora. By 16 I was running our family's machine shop with my brothers — we lived in the back room and took bucket showers. When the shop went under, it wasn't for lack of hard work; working families like ours never had a fair shot."
