As a parent raising four kids in our public schools, I spend a lot of time thinking about the kind of future we’re building and who we trust to lead us there.

I’ll be honest: like many people, I’ve felt discouraged by politics. It often feels out of touch with the urgency of the moment and the everyday realities facing families. That’s why Sophie Warren’s leadership stands out.

Five years ago, Sophie stepped up to run for office as a young leader willing to do things differently as state representative. Since then, she has built a strong record of putting her constituents first. She listens, engages and leads with both compassion and clarity. She brings fresh perspective, real experience and a deep commitment to public service.

We need more leaders who reflect the next generation and are willing to meet this moment with seriousness, courage and purpose. Sophie is exactly that kind of leader. I’m proud to support her and hope others will join me on June 9.
