“A week ago, I said that we were building something different in this district. Today, over 1,500 voters signed their names to make that happen,” said Analilia Mejia. “I’m so incredibly thankful for everyone who knocked doors and helped get us on the ballot. These were neighbors talking to neighbors about what’s at stake in this election. People are fired up, and they’re ready for a representative who’s unbought and unbossed.”
