Shannon, your words are inspiring and powerful. I remember 2016. I was so sure Hillary Clinton would win. It was so obvious that Trump was in no way presidential material. I knew Clinton would win. But I was wrong and devastated. As I early voted for Kamala Harris, I felt it was bittersweet: I was lucky to be able to vote and I wondered if this right would be gone in the future? And even more importantly, would my 16-year-old daughter ever be able to vote? Praying for Kamala to win.
