One of these Zoom-bombers proceeded to call me the n-word and told me to "shut up" before I even had a chance to introduce myself. It was disappointing to have this experience while trying to meet my future constituents, but I know that hate and racism are part of politics. As a Black woman, I face racism every day, but it does not stop me from working hard and fighting for those who may not always agree with me. Instances like last night will never stop me from trying to reach voters. You can watch my closing statement to the forum
