District 11, WRITE TRACY DEFORDE ON YOUR BALLOT TO BE YOUR REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS. 
I have dedicated my life to making a difference in the lives of others. Since I was a little girl my calling has always been to help others. Every job, every experience good/bad, has led me to where I am meant to be today. I can relate to all walks of society. Single widowed parent of 4, suicide survivor, an inner city middle school social studies teacher (5-8th), 2nd job as bartender, coach youth sports, volunteer in school, district, and community events, teach religious education through our local church, loss of a brother to addiction, etc. 
The road here has not been easy, but the journey has provided me with life experience to truly understand what America needs and what its going to take to fix it. My ties are to no particular party but to America and its people. With your help we can make a difference in not only district 11, but all of America, by working to improve education and mental health.  Nothing changes if nothing changes, and now more the American people needs change. We are the citizens and the backbone of this country and it is our duty as citizens to elect officials who will represent us.
