When I fight for affordable housing, I think of crunching the numbers with my oldest son, Luke, who was worried about attending college in California because of the high cost of housing.
During Monday's debate I was asked which person has most shaped my worldview. The answer is easy: my three school-aged kids.
Now, while I won't be choosing a favorite amongst them, they all keep me squarely focused on the future.
When I fight for affordable housing, I think of crunching the numbers with my oldest son, Luke, who was worried about attending college in California because of the high cost of housing.
When I hold Big Oil accountable, I think of Paul, who had a sign on his door that read "Zero emissions 2030 or do not enter."
When I fight for capping child care costs at 7% of a family's income, I think of my daughter Betsy, whose preschool cost me more than college tuition would have.
Luke, Paul, and Betsy all make me a better representative, and they're what inspire me to fight even on the longest, toughest of days.
