Life doesn’t need to be this hard for people. Everyone deserves to be respected in the workplace, not just those in the C-suite.

"Voters are sick and tired of politicians saying one thing and then not taking action... I think that this primary really illustrated that voters want people who have new ideas, and who want to push for actual change, because this country is not functioning right now." -Jillian Gilchrest

John Larson, Luke Bronin, Jillian Gilchrest and Ruth Fortune focused on union rallies and door-knocking in their pitches to Democratic voters.
