Minnesota National Delegate
Donation protected
I have dedicated most of my life working to create opportunities for underrepresented people and communities, through economic development/job creation, education, and politics. Some of my proudest achievements are those borne out of the work I have done on behalf of rural communities, children, people of color, women, members of the LBTG community, small businesses, immigrants, refugees, and the environment. I have spent much of my time working with people who have held personal views that are polar opposite to mine. My perspective is that of someone who has had diverse life experiences, from growing up in a small town to traveling across the globe, which allows me be motivated by the commonalities that I share with people instead of the differences. Now I need your support in helping me build upon this work in my role as a national delegate. The political scene around the globe from the Middle East, Asia, Europe, Africa to here at home is tumultuous and unnerving, which discourages people from participating in the process. People feel powerless because of that, I too have felt that way from time to time, but various people, particularly my daughter have encouraged me to see past the rhetoric and continue to exercise my rights to participate. She recently told me in a nutshell, I have to go forth no matter how steep the climb, because I have a way of framing things that makes people understand. With her words I knew it was time for me to move closer to the forefront with the concerns of those that have molded me. The mainstream media continues to focus on the ugliest side of our society and democracy, but I choose to show gratitude and to celebrate my opportunities. With that being said I would appreciate your support, every dollar, word of encouragement, and advice counts. I look forward to sharing all of my experiences with you. Warm Regards, Josie
