Marisa Wood is a public school teacher, mother and grandmother, and has spent her last 20 years serving the Bakersfield community that she calls home. Marisa knows that this district – and all of its families – deserve someone fighting for them in Washington, not a career politician who cares about his rich donors and fighting partisan battles.
It is time for women to get equal pay for equal work. It is time that our trans, non-binary family, friends get the respect that they deserve. It is time that our friends of color live their lives without the fear of persecution. It is time that we stop hate.
