No Matter who you vote for make sure you get out and VOTE!
When I was 2 years old my mother, Nancy Brock,took me out to canvas for Shirley Chisholm in Asheville North Carolina. In 1971, in the heart of the rural south she was out in the streets to promote the first African American woman to ever run for president. She taught me that fighting for social change and for deeply held values is tough, but it has to be done.
She instilled in me from the time that I was able to walk that women can do anything. She spent her entire life working for social equality for African Americans and particularly women. My mother taught both my sister and me the importance of creating a society that is based on respect for people no matter their gender or race.
These issues and the struggle to reshape the way we deal with issues of gender and race are a part of my DNA. these are not issues that I take lightly. In my plan for the 21st district I have called for protecting women’s reproductive rights, protecting Planned Parenthood, Performing multiple statewide studies to root out systemic racism, and to protect minority communities that are neglected after catastrophic flooding right here in Virginia Beach and Chesapeake.
My wife and daughter know that I will stand up and fight for equal pay for women, and for paid family leave. They have been instrumental in my decision to run for this seat because they know that I am a fighter who will not give up on the issues that they care about.
For any of you who have been following along, it must be clear at this point that I am a scrappy fighter. I will not stop fighting, because I believe in the power of positive thought and inspired action. I believe in rooting out systemic sexism, racism, able-ism, and every other ‘ism “that holds us back from a stronger united Democratic party.
