Truly a magical, positive, remarkable experience
Here, in this moment, when President Joe Biden did one of the most selfless acts our country has ever seen, he rejuvenated this country and our Party with the nomination of Vice President Kamala Harris.
If I could describe this moment in one word, it’s providence. This is truly a spiritual battle for our country. As a nation, we bear witness to the scourge of evil, racism, negativity, and bias coming from one of the most corrupt individuals our country has ever experienced.
I’m damn glad we have a brilliant Black Asian Indian American woman to beat his backend.

As a first-time elected delegate to a Democratic National Convention, I was unsure of what I would encounter in Chicago. What I experienced was a gathering of significant diversity. People from all walks of life gathered with me to, say thank you to one of the most consequential Presidents in my lifetime: President Joe Biden.
We then enthusiastically shouted bienvenidos to a young brilliant, bold, charismatic, second ever, woman to accept the nomination for President of the United States, Kamala Harris. Vice-President Harris is the FIRST woman of color to accept the nomination of a major political party.
The convention was a four-day lab of learning, organizing, networking. It produced some of the finest, most eloquent, powerful speeches, dialogue, conversations that were, indeed, profound and far reaching.
The convention was steeped in electric energy, unity, joy in a people coming together with a solemn, yet happy, purpose of saving democracy in our country.
In an unflappable determination to right our course of history, present and future, hitch it to our decency, dignity, respect for justice, equity, change; and, with our eyes on the prizes of peace, goodwill, servant leadership, we nominated, we support Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to lead our nation as the next President and Vice-President of the United States of America. Let’s get to work!

I was more than grateful to have been elected by Democrats to serve as a CD 1 Delegate to the National Convention and a DNC Member. Running for these posts was about more than winning.
I was once asked why I’m am a Democrat and I said it was because of the policies that Democrats support and that I will always be a Coloradan first! As the election is getting closer, it is long past due that we view policies and actions through the lens of harm. Far too many individuals have been harmed by the pursuit of power and profit at all costs, and the lack of leadership on important issues.
Taking on harm transcends race, gender, income, religion, the area where one lives, and political party. We can’t go back to the terrifying days that Donald Trump was in the White House, and we must look forward to deliver real results for the people.
“In our system of justice, a harm against any one of us is a harm against all of us. I would often explain this, to console survivors of crime. To remind them: No one should be made to fight alone. We are all in this together.” – Kamala Harris
