Candidate for National Delegate of Virginia
The great Dr. Martin Luther King said that “it is always the right time, to do the right thing”. At this time, I’m running to be elected as a National Delegate and represent the state of Virginia at the 2024 Democratic National Convention (DNC).
National delegates represent their state or community at their party’s presidential nominating convention - in this case the DNC. Delegates then choose a Presidential candidate to represent the national party in the November general election. Delegates get to cast a vote for the Presidential candidate that they support and the vote will determine the party’s official candidate for President of the United States of America.
I’d like to represent Virginia as a national delegate because I believe I represent a lot of what Virginia is all about. As a proud Virginian resident, I’ve called Virginia my home my entire life, and have seen up close how hard working Virginians are. Through hard work of my own, I have been able to obtain 2 master degrees, graduate from the University of Virginia, and obtain steady employment as a leader in Information Technology. I have been blessed beyond measure to have met many personal milestones that I have always dreamed about. Even with that, one of my proudest achievements was launching a non-profit, geared to giving back to the community and enriching the lives of others. I started The Brickers Foundation, while working full-time, because of the passion I have to help others and to be impactful. Having volunteered in some capacity at various stages in my life, the core of me is to provide service. This is why having a Foundation that represents not just me, but much of what I believe is needed to make things better, so important.
Although it’s ‘always’ the right time to do the right things, I often say you never have to wait to do the right thing either. I’m running for national delegate because I want to be an example for others in my state, age group, demographic, different or alike, that we can make an impact where we are, no matter what stage in life we are in. As we have a very important election coming up, it’s important that we all do our part. What makes America great is that a person can come from any background and have a say about the direction of the country. That’s great privilege that we shouldn’t take lightly, but also should take full advantage of. I’m asking for your vote to attend the DNC as a national delegate so that I can represent Virginia with the highest integrity and humility, with hopes that I can greatly impact our country for the better.
