THREAD:
1) I’m a Democrat, running for Congress in 2022 from Wisconsin’s Sixth District. This is (part of) my story.

I grew up in Southfield, a city in the suburbs of Detroit, MI. My brother still lives in the Detroit area, but our parents are deceased.

2) My undergraduate degree is a BA with a major in political science (with an emphasis in political economy) and a minor in public administration, from Albion College, in MI. I got my JD (law degree) from Washington & Lee University School of Law, in VA.

3) I practiced law for nearly 20 years, taking time off now & then for various reasons, including when my grandmother died & I handled her estate, & from August 2018, when I lost my job after being diagnosed w/Stage Four uterine #cancer, which I beat, to the present.

4) My husband was born and raised in this district. We lived here, and got married here, from 2003-10, then moved to Milwaukee for work, then moved back to the district in August 2018, when we bought a house here. We’re staying.

5) I have an extensive skill set, based on a broad range of experience, including: having worked as an attorney, a human resources manager, an administrator, a researcher, & an author.

6) I have lobbied at the United Nations and the United States Congress, & brought litigation in the courts, for civil/human rights, & social justice issues, including better access to medical care. I have established charitable foundations & obtained tax exemptions for them.

7) I wrote one book on my own, & co-authored another. I’ve had significant responsibility for the drafting of many appellate briefs, including several to the United States Supreme Court. I have given presentations and speeches, and presented oral argument to appellate courts.

8) I have negotiated joint venture agreements, employment contracts, and liability protection arrangements. My career as an attorney has included lobbying, contract work, and complex class action litigation, including appeals – ...

9) and a case in which I was part of a team that brought $23.5M back into the Wisconsin economy, and saw the proceeds distributed to various entities, including a convent and the Milwaukee Public Schools. In my career, I've worked on 2modern-day slavery cases, 1 a class action.

10) I have the education, training, and experience to do an excellent job in Congress.
