Do you know who holds office for your district in the House of Representatives for your State? If you don't, you're not alone. With the country so hyper focused on national politics, it might seem tedious to focus on local government. However, no one is having a greater impact on your daily life than your locally elected officials. Not to mention, as we are all connected, we also need to know what's happening in cities and towns across the country. This is why I wanted to talk with Anna Eskamani. She's running for the 47th District State House seat in my hometown of Orlando, FL. She's not your typical candidate.

Anna is the daughter of Iranian immigrants. Her dear mother passed away when Anna was only 13 years old. She was a Senior Director for Planned Parenthood. She holds multiple degrees from the University of Central Florida and is pursuing a doctorate as well. Anna has been on the front lines of community building from a very young age. She is the embodiment of the American dream including the most important part of the dream where those who succeed pay it forward. To donate to her campaign, go here!
