Eleven days! I cannot wait until Election Day for many reasons, one being finally getting a good night's sleep. We are almost there. 

Last week, my campaign budget, donations, and volunteers all increased overnight. My supporters are ENERGIZED and I'm here for it.

Monday, I voted early with VOTE (Voters Organized to Educate). I work with VOTE frequently at the capitol, helping to pass legislation on health care and criminal reform issues. Overall, I have received the endorsement of VOTE; the AFL-CIO (labor); Stacy Abrams' Fair Fight (voting/civil rights); Everytown for Gun Safety; Forum for Equality (LGBTQ+ rights); Alliance for Good Government; Louisiana Association of Educators; Louisiana Federation of Teachers; Crimefighters; the New Orleans Coalition; the DSA; and finally, I received the highest score of my colleagues from the Green Army, General Honore's organization. These are all groups that I adore, who work on issues that are important to all of us, and I will continue to work with and for them in Baton Rouge. I am honored that they believe in me!

I voted on Monday with my friends and supporters from VOTE (Voters Organized to Educate). They are here for me!

Thank you to Green Army for your support, and sending my appreciation for awarding me the highest score of my colleagues.

Of course, the only endorsement that matters is the endorsement of the voters of District 91. They set me on this path in 2019, and I know they'll do it again. 

My outspoken views and advocacy have not always sat well, to say the least, with the male-dominated power structure in this state. I ran very publicly as a pro-choice candidate, and reproductive rights and maternal health continue to be the core of my advocacy as a legislator. I stand up for the people and groups mentioned above who constantly have to fight for their basic human rights. I sued the state when the poor were cut off from pandemic unemployment a month early - and a month before Hurricane Ida. I am not afraid to color outside of the lines. That is why I ran. 

Thank you for your support. Please send some cash for the additional mail and media I now have to purchase for the deranged* attacks that started last week, and please also, if you can, give us a few hours of your time. It will be fun!
