“I want to hear from the residents of Occoquan. I want to build a vision together. This is a people-driven campaign; built on grassroots organizing and a passionate belief that everyone should have a seat at the table. We’re fighting for our future, we’re fighting for a better and brighter tomorrow for all, and we’re fighting for a strong vision that leads us well into the next decade. I ask you to join me in this fight, I’m asking for you to be a part of this campaign, and I’m asking for your vote in 2019! Let’s make history together!”
