The Importance of Personal Experiences in Public Life

I raised two small now, my age, phenomenal young men as a single mom. I had to struggle a lot. My dad was a retired lieutenant colonel in the army. He served in World War II and in Korea. Yet when he wanted to buy a house in San Leandro, California, they were burning crosses. But guess what? Today I represent San Leandro and the House of Representatives. So the arc of the moral universe as long as Dr. King said, but it bends towards justice. And so I believe that my life experiences, people will look at.
