Mariah Parker Quote

A quote from Mariah Parker: "While it might be daunting to be your full and authentic self in that arena, for lack of existing models for folks who have done it before us, it is really affirming to the folks that will come in behind you, and for folks that are existing at the margins of the current voting populace, to see someone like them giving it a shot and giving voice to their concerns. And so I just really encourage people to not shy away from being authentic within that realm. Because if there's a question of 'oh, well, will you be electable or not?' Whether or not you get elected, your mere presence in those spaces is transformative for folks who are watching you move and who need that model to empower them and who are seeking a voice in politics, for someone that has similar experiences to theirs."
