Last week I was able to see Stacy Abrams when she came to town...today, on my last day of work, I took two hours to go to this lovely restaurant who hosted the MARCH TO THE POLLS event. El Portal is on the southern end of downtown Phoenix. Got there right after 10:10 a.m. and cars were parking the area up. The atmosphere was energetic and KIND. It’s fun to meet like minded people who are not negative and always looking for a fight...REFRESHING comes to mind!
Julián arrived about 10:55 a.m. and he presence is one of CALM and THOUGHTFUL...I felt like I was ‘home’. He spoke about Senator Warren in a fashion and tone that showed the utmost respect for her and made me realize that he REALLY REALLY REALLY believes she is the BEST choice for President.
He spoke about how when he was Secretary she showed up for a lunch and that he was so looking forward to meeting her and getting to know her...saying he figured they’d have small talk and a nice lunch...but NO, he said she got down to business and let him know that she wanted to make sure they GOT that Americans needed to be treated right when it came to housing, mortgages and the like. He said at that moment he realized that she was someone incredibly special and he knew she was destined for something great and most importantly, it didn’t matter what party you were with, she would make you accountable for your actions and decisions!
He asked that we all get involved one-on-one with people and indicated that is how this election will be won...people need to feel they are cared about.
I liked Julián...ALOT. An old soul who is kind, thoughtful and considerate and who will make a huge difference in America.
Julián will be canvassing in Tucson this afternoon ahead of the debate and then he and Mayor Regina Romero (who is amazing!) will be hosting a watch party for the debate in Tucson !!!!
This further solidifies my support of Senator Warren. #PresidentElizabethWarren
