Meet Aaron
I was born into the middle class. My dad was an IT consultant, a job that demanded long hours but gave us a life where worries about medical debt or grocery prices were unthinkable. For the first twelve years of my life, the path ahead seemed simple: do well in school, go to college, become an author, maybe settle down with a family someday.
That path changed forever on April 12, 2015, when my dad suddenly passed away from a heart attack. I was devastated. My mental health collapsed, and it would take many years—long after high school—before I began to recover.
With my dad gone, everything changed. My mom was a private school teacher, earning nowhere near what my dad had made. Without our family’s breadwinner, we had to adapt and make sacrifices: garage sales, smaller homes, no vacations, constant budgeting. It was difficult, with many days spent mourning not just a loved one, but the life we could have lived.
But it wasn’t grit, determination, or pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps that allowed us to land on our feet. It was empathy, kindness, and an unwillingness to see further tragedy. The private school I attended, the same one where my mom taught, allowed me to stay tuition-free. We received help and donations from friends, acquaintances, and even strangers. That generosity was vital in keeping us afloat, and it taught me something I’ll never forget: real strength doesn’t lie in individuals. It lives in solidarity, in choosing to support one another.
That lesson stayed with me. Politics and history had always been passions of mine, but as I watched puppet politicians sell out our communities—answering to corporate donors while ignoring the people they claimed to represent—I felt that belief turn into righteous anger. And when Trump was re-elected, something in me snapped. I realized I couldn’t just stand by anymore.
So I— a fast food worker and former janitor—made a choice. A choice to help build the change we desperately need.
I’m not here just to run for office. Because this isn’t about me. It’s about us, and the movement we’re building. One that demands accountability, one that fights for the working class, one that loudly declares: enough. We deserve better. And we’re ready to fight for it.
