The Relentless Woman.

An Ode to @jawestman

(A Thread)
Before the corn fields of Iowa and before I knew her- Jacqueline Antoinette Westman - fashion designer and advocate began her @BetoORourke journey during his Senate run in Texas.
When he ran for President - she began hitting the ground in California. Knocking on doors, engaging voters and connecting with people, like only JAW could.
From Skid Row - to the neighborhoods of L.A. she shared Beto’s message.
From Texas to Iowa she went. Powering her way through crowds and chanting for change.
When we met - in Las Vegas - I instantly connected with her energy, attitude and love for champagne. 🥂
We had a townhall scheduled for the day but before the townhall we wished @BetoORourke well before a Gun Prevention Forum.
We drank champagne. Toasted to @BetoORourke
Made some signs
And also had a trunk of Beto...
She captured CTC’s and celebrated.
Bouncing all over the country- she returned to Las Vegas for Pride.
In JAW fashion - she convinced me to keep moving and got me to Dallas for #RallyAgainstFear
Where the campaign put us outside because we we’re the loudest. https://twitter.com/nicholemanna/status/1184956645803208704
When his run came to an end... she knew she had to keep going.
She joined The Beto Fam at the Women’s March
She traveled to Iowa, Nevada, and California for @JoeBiden
She traveled back to Texas with @BetoORourke to ensure we flipped the Texas House with @ElizMarkowitz
When the pandemic hit she didn’t stop. She help create @projectppeact that employed out of work factory workers and created PPE for hospitals, food banks, farmers and the Navajo Nation.
She then created @myvoice_mypower to get the younger generation involved in democracy.
We all know JAW kicks ass....
But most of all, the best thing about @jawestman.
She’s caring. She never stops caring about her work. Her mom. Her friends and most important getting involved.
Happy Birthday, Friend. We all love you.
