So a few years ago, I did something really brave, or some would say really stupid. I ran for Congress.For years, I had existed safely behind the scenes in politics as a fundraiser, as an organizer, but in my heart, I always wanted to run. The sitting congresswoman had been in my district since 1992.

几年前，我做了一些非常勇敢的事，或许有些人会说很愚蠢的事。我参选国会议员。很多年来，我安全地存在于 政治活动背后作为资金筹集人，作为组织者，但我的内心，我一直希望参选。我所在选区的国会议员女士从1992年起担任这个职务。
