So thank you all are working with us and thank you, senators, for doing this. You know, I'm very humbled to be here and honored to be here because I am just […]

April 22, 2017
My name is Haley Stevens. I am a woman in science. I have worked in a manufacturing research lab, and I am here today because I never thought we would be fighting for the right to think.

My father, Donald, came from Jamaica to study economics. My mother, Shyamala, came from India to study the science of fighting disease. They came here in […]

Thank you everyone. Thank you for coming out and supporting us. Folks, it's been a long tough, race. We gave it our all, and I am so grateful for all the commitment that you all showed and all the hard work. Unfortunately, we got so close and the voters decided to remain on the current path. I respect their decision. Just a while ago I called Congressman Barr and congratulated him on his victory. I know that we all hope that he returns to Washington with a renewed sense of […]
