Rachel Crooks Donald Trump's actions silenced me. I'm breaking that silence by running for office.
One short non-consensual encounter 12 years ago with Donald Trump
altered the course of my life multiple times: it ultimately prompted me
to leave New York City; speaking about it made me a sort of public
figure; and it has inspired me to run for office in my home state of
Ohio.
I didn’t choose what he did to me: Having that kiss forced on me in the elevator lobby outside my company’s office in Trump Tower made me feel very small, and I lived with that feeling and blamed myself for his actions for many years.
But choosing to run for office in Ohio is not really about what Trump did to me; I’m running because his election and the actions of our political leaders since then have demonstrated to me that there is a lack of honesty and integrity among our government officials and a lack of desire to bring about change by actually serving constituents. Neither should be such novel concepts, but, in today’s world, they appear to be.
