I've been in politics for about 5 years. I observed and supported many issues and candidates. And I've been sitting back watching how things are not getting done. I did lots of canvasing and heard people say “my vote doesn't count” and "politicians don't care about the little person" and this has me concerned. My Dad passed away 2 days after I was asked to run. I felt like there was no time better than this to take action and run for office. I don’t want other people with ailing family members to go through what I went through. I need to speak for the real people. People have been making decisions for others without knowing their lives - where they shop - where they go in the community. I want to have a seat at the table to inform our decision makers as to the circumstances of people like me and my community - family and friends. I don’t want someone speaking for me that doesn’t know and understand me. All those times I spoke to you when you opened your door while I was canvassing - I was listening. I hear you. I got you. Take a look at my ISSUES page as I continue to build this website so you understand the journey it takes to lead. It starts with listening and involvement. That's me - Damita White-Morris and I need your vote for Assembly for LD1 this fall! Please vote and help me win!
