I’m running for Congress in California’s 4th district. But if you’d asked me what I thought I’d be when I grew up, I would have said I’d be an Olympic gymnast. For 10 years, I trained 30 hours a week to achieve my dream of representing our nation as an Olympian. But right before a big national competition, I tore two ligaments in my ankle. My hopes of becoming an Olympic gymnast had been extinguished. To make matters worse, over the next few years, both my parents were diagnosed with cancer. My father later passed away, and thankfully my mother beat her diagnosis, but those were some of the toughest years of my life as a young woman finding her way in the world. In many ways, my parents’ battles with cancer shaped the way I think about health care. It’s why I’m so determined to protect and strengthen the Affordable Care Act. The truth is, I wasn’t the most talented gymnast out there, but I worked harder and cared more than anyone else. And that’s the same energy we’ve brought into this campaign, from our own campaign staff to our amazing volunteers. I always say, “If you believe more, if you care more, if you work harder, you can do incredible things.” This is how we’re going to beat Tom McClintock. As a team — and a community — determined to overcome any obstacle to build a future that represents all of us. If you’ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: We’re less than two weeks away from the election, and I can’t tell you enough how thankful I am that you believe in me. Now, let’s stick the landing and win this! — Brynne Kennedy
