I tell my kids to be fearless, so it’s about time I take my own advice! As a patriotic American, I am deeply concerned about the state of our democracy, and feel this is the time to step up!

Why should I be a DNC delegate?

After residing in Japan for the past eight years, I've closely observed the developments in the USA. The possibility of Trump securing another term is deeply unsettling. I'm dedicated to doing everything I can to get out the vote, and I'm eager to play a more active role in supporting the Democratic Party and upholding our shared values.

​

  1. I am a voice for women and working families.

  2. It's imperative to bolster the American middle class and tax the ultra-rich.

  3. Women must have autonomy over their bodies.

  4. We must restore moral integrity and leadership in politics.

  5. The Citizens United Supreme Court ruling must be overturned; money has no place in politics and is fundamentally anti-democratic."

A Lasting Impression

Meeting President Obama was an unforgettable moment, one filled with inspiration and admiration for his leadership.
 
His vision for a more inclusive and compassionate America resonated deeply with me, and it reinforced my commitment to continuing his legacy of progress and unity. As I shook his hand and exchanged a few words, I felt a sense of responsibility to contribute to the betterment of our society in any way I could.
