Yeena Deserves Your Vote Because…

My commitment to public service is clear. My values and desire to serve compelled me to get my JD/MSW, and moved me to dedicate my legal career to leveling the playing field for those at a distinct disadvantage (due to language, gender, race/ethnicity, and income). Further, my participation and passion for Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense, the Elmhurst Senior Citizens Commission, the League of Women Voters, and other organizations demonstrate that I live out my values and work hard for my community.
