I remember sitting down in front of the TV at home with my grandmother watching election results. My grandmother pointed at the screen and told me: “the lady in the hat that just got elected to Congress is related to you.” That “lady in the hat” was Bella Abzug. [black and white photo of Bella in hat in a crowd of young women holding a sign that says free the female body from pain and inequality]( Little did I know that my cousin Bella was just getting started. In just a few years, she would sponsor the Equality Act — the first ever gay rights bill — and shepherd through the Equal Credit Opportunity Act that gave women financial freedom through access to credit cards. “Battling Bella” inspired me to a life of public service. She wasn’t afraid to take on the big fights and to get the job done and that’s how I’ll serve as your next mayor.
