"In every moment when a decision needs to be made, my intention is to work closely with you to understand the needs of your districts and maximize your ability to deliver results to your constituents." "Democrats will succeed if they work as a team." "The idea of being the first woman to hold the position of majority leader is not only something I never imagined, but also carries enormous responsibility. And it is the voices of the mothers I have met—women from all over the country and the entire state—that remain in my mind: the sacrifices they make to feed their children, to try to get an appointment with a pediatrician, and the hope they harbor of being able to, one day, build a better future." "I rise in honor of a community that is forced to fight for its own existence. I rise in honor of the trans voices that deserve to be heard—not silenced or criminalized. I rise in honor of trans joy, which deserves to be celebrated—not eradicated. I rise with unconditional love for my trans daughter, Riley. And I rise in solidarity with every transgender American who seeks nothing less than their inalienable right to the pursuit of happiness." At an event last year in her district, Clark urged attendees to take action on various political issues, including "ending famine, genocide, and destruction in Gaza." Clark officially announced her candidacy on Thursday, through a letter to her colleagues, for which she has no rival. #KatherineClark #Demócratas #DerechosTrans (translated)
