🇺🇸 SHARICE DAVIDS Democrat for US House / Kansas
https://www.emilyslist.org/candidates/sharice-davidsBIO
Sharice Davids is a dedicated community leader who is running to fight for Kansans in Congress.
She was raised by her single mother, who is a U.S. Army veteran, in Leavenworth and learned the value of hard work and service from a young age.
As a member of the Ho-Chunk Nation, Sharice could make history as the first Native American woman elected to Congress. It wasn't part of my decision. [...] but I'm definitely proud to be part of this time in history, she has said.
Sharice studied business administration at the University of Missouri-Kansas City and received her law degree from Cornell Law School.
She worked for a law firm in Kansas City on issues including economic development for Native American tribes.
She then went on to live and work on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
Sharice served as a White House Fellow during the final year of the Obama administration.
Most recently, Sharice hosted a podcast called Starty Pants, where she interviewed entrepreneurs and investors.
She has also competed in mixed martial arts tournaments, fighting both professionally and as an amateur.
In addition to making history as the first Native American woman in Congress, Sharice could also be the first openly gay member of the Kansas congressional delegation and the first Democratic woman to represent the 3rd District.
An opportunity to flip a seat and take back the House
Sharice is challenging Congressman Kevin Yoder, a vulnerable Republican who has been advancing his partys dangerous agenda at the expense of the working families he was elected to serve.
Kevin Yoder no longer represents the people of Kansas, she has said. He is now a rubber stamp for the Trump administration and the big-money donors who have fueled his campaigns.
This is an opportunity to flip a seat and win back the House for Democrats.
**************************
Honestly, this remarkable young woman embodies the Past, Present & Future face of America.
Honor, dignity, fairness & fight.

Tell me they aren't stumping for the White Male Patriarchy candidate!
Why??
Look at her creds! She is everyone who has ever felt suppression by the White, straight, male patriarchy since they set foot on this land.
America needs someone they can respect for knowing their own plight as minorities. As common people, as achievers, being truthful in what you say & do, your motives & what you hold dear.
Sharice Davids stands before us with all we need.
Proud to support her campaign.

(6,931 posts)That ass Estes is there just to vote yes for anything Trump and Republicans want and do NOTHING else. He's been there going on two years--took Pompeo's seat and you never here a word out of him.
