Her choice of Manzanita for her campaign kick-off shows her commitment to amplify rural voices. States LaNicia, “Rural communities deserve equal opportunity and equal access. Every community deserves a seat at the table.”
A new voice, she continues, “We are at a pivotal moment for our state, democracy, freedom and for our hearts. The soul of humanity is at stake, and this is a time when silence becomes irresponsible. I felt called to step up.”
