"Growing up, I always knew I was different from kids my age. I grew up in a household with my parents and three older brothers. Our family was known as the family of 'four boys.'"
"At age two, my favorite pastime was dancing in the kitchen wearing princess dresses with white T-shirts on my head like they were hair. I would wear these T-shirts everywhere."
"My parents saw this behavior evolving over time. And, while they were confused, they prioritized above all else the health and happiness of their kids."
"I have a huge passion for learning how to make the lives of those around me the best they can be through the levers of law and government."
