One of my first experiences in political spaces was at a school board meeting where I had the opportunity to meet Sen. Stacy Brenner.

I was testifying about a transgender student policy amendment that would more effectively protect students, and when I heard Brenner speak in favor of the amendment with her clear and passionate views guided by her niece I felt extremely heard. She talked to me after the board meeting and thanked me for my voice and for engaging. Most notably, though, she asked me to keep in contact with any questions I had and how she could better represent me, even though I was just a student. She cared about me beyond a vote.

Brenner is somebody who is committed to her neighbors. She listens and speaks up for what she knows is right, and will continue to do so if reelected.
