hope & optimism
If I have tried to bring anything to federal politics, it is the idea that hope and optimism should be at their heart. We CAN look after each other better than we do today. We CAN have a fiscally responsible government. We CAN have a strong economy; greater equality; a clean environment. We CAN be a force for peace in the world. I am as hopeful and optimistic about all of this as I was the day...

I'm not healthy
I’ve been back and forth to the doctor’s office way too often over the past few months: blood tests, x-rays, an M.R.I., etc. It’s hard coming to terms with the fact that at 27 years of old my body is failing me.
