Community First: A Conversation with Candace Valenzuela

Running for Congress is not something for the faint of heart, I always thought that I’d never have the ego to run for Congress. But then I realized, while I don’t have that kind of self-interest, I do have the urgency of the families in my district, and that’s why I’m doing this.

The Pivot-Point: A Conversation with Mike Siegel

Half of the labor unions in Houston, for example, are oil and gas related, but they still found me to be a trustworthy advocate for their rights in the workplace and for their general health and wellbeing—someone who will bring them to the table.

Building Rome in A Day: Bloomberg’s Project for the Presidency

“By the time it was all said and done, Bloomberg had spent over five-hundred million dollars of his own money on his campaign. In only sixteen weeks, Rome was built, and on Super Tuesday, Rome had fallen.”
