Ritchie Torres - Why I’m not supposed to be in Congress

 

I’m going to be blunt with you: I’m a political outsider. I don’t have a college degree. I don’t have fancy connections. I don’t rely on a roster of mega-rich donors to bankroll my campaign. Congress is designed to keep people like me out. And against all odds, I’m here. Grassroots supporters like you believed in me, so now we can make change possible. But we face an uphill battle – we’re up against a GOP majority hellbent on unraveling our progress. Thank you, Ritchie EDITOR'S NOTE: The information about campaign donations has been omitted as is the policy of this blog.
