It’s a dangerous position to stoke confusion and division within the Democratic Party when democracy is on the line.
This plays directly into the hands of the GOP at a point when the conversation needs to be about Trump's laundry list of problems.

As a brown woman, I’ve experienced racism and xenophobia all my life.
Even before announcing my run for Congress in PA-12, there were people wanting to suppress my voice and candidacy.
You expect to see these racist, xenophobic and hateful scare tactics in a Republican primary.

In the Trump era, we as Democrats must unite and uplift diverse voices and reject extremism within our own party.
It saddens me that I couldn't speak at my own alma mater, and I wish I could have shared this message with the young people building the future of our country.

The cornerstone of a thriving democracy and political process is freedom of expression.
I won’t be silenced by identity attacks.
Lastly, acknowledging and supporting people of color when they express that they are being harmed and silenced is crucial for a just society.

Data-driven government is about decision-making. But if decision-makers are not data-literate, you can have all the data scientists in the world in an agency but decisions won’t use their results – it will be as if the results are in Greek and no one translated.
