I've spent the last four decades as a community servant and advocate. I've run a food bank, managed clinics for low-income people, served as a tutor in literacy programs and as an executive in philanthropy. I've organized electoral and community-based campaigns, wrote grants, asked literally thousands of people for donations, and even, more than once, climbed through the open window of a home to interrupt an act of child abuse in communities so remote that police could never be expected to react in time.
