Wow, congrats! I looked up her and she seems very impressive. Her platform, Mental Health, is a cause near and dear to me - I work in the mental health field (not military, but general public). If she can chip away at the stigma in the military and also the lay public, that would be amazing; her personal story makes the platform all the more powerful. More Americans than ever, post-pandemic, are in need of care, yet the stigma stops so many from pursuing care (that and insurance issues. When insurance companies start treating mental health like they do physical health, we'll have a lot to celebrate because in my experience, so many physical issues stem from mental health issues, not to mention so many societal issues). OK, off my soapbox, congrats again!!
