Amish's Story
Growing up in Chicago, I had a pretty rough childhood. I was bullied, and there were times I would go to my room and pray that God would just take my life, because there seemed to be no safe place for me. But somewhere around 6th grade, the unexpected happened. Two teachers, Mrs. Weber and Ms. Meres, took an interest in me, not just as a good student, but as a good person. They saw I needed support, and gave me kindness, generosity and encouragement.
Eventually, I paid my own way through medical school, allowing me to build an independent and fulfilling career as an ER doctor. I became a faculty member, educator, researcher, and even worked with the NFL. You see, this story would be unlikely in other places like India where my parents grew up. But I was born in America, and the American people cared for me and invested in me.
I wanted to serve my community, so I ran for Arizona State House and knocked on 15,000 doors to meet my constituents personally. I won all three of my elections in resounding fashion, and during my time, I have had more bills signed into law than any other member of my party in over a decade.
I know how our kids need our full support and encouragement to reach their potential, especially here in Arizona where we have an underfunded and broken system. So I will strive to ensure every kid gets a real shot like I did. I will demand that teachers get paid well and treated with respect. And I will push for quality, affordable healthcare for everyone so you don't have to choose between your medicine and your rent. Join us, and let's get it done.
