Why I Am Supporting Elizabeth Warren
I have struggled a bit this election season. I am a progressive. I think that government should play a more active role in the economy.

Elizabeth Warren was the first progressive politician I ever knew about. When she ran for Senate in 2012, I had just started paying serious attention to politics. I liked what she was saying and how she said it. She was talking about economic inequality and corruption before I even understood how serious those problems were.
