Labor Day is not about just picnics and parades. It’s a day to celebrate & reflect on the vital work of the labor movement & all unions have done to help build the middle class. As an advocate for working families, I’ll always stand up for a stronger middle class & their rights.
Gina and Jeremy were out at the Back-to-School Block Party at Jackson Charter School.
There were great resources, food, and lots of fun for families and neighbors. Such a great time as students prepare for the school year and get to meet their new teachers.

Last week, my Chief of Staff met with “I Met Jesus Community” to talk about resumes and interviews.
Everyone was so engaged and asked amazing questions — it was a great night of learning, connection, and encouragement.
Thank you to all who attended this important conversation!
