Opinion | Why I'm running for Congress in California's 4th district. By brynnespeak

Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.With all the pettiness going on on the Hill, it's easy to see why Congress doesn't get anything done.I'm running for Congress in California's 4th district.

Given the wild circumstances — in the world, the country, the state — people ask me "why" all the time. Why run for Congress? Why subject yourself to the unfair criticism, the constant fundraising? Why step down from a startup you founded and loved to enter the political arena? Politics was something we discussed at the dinner table because it mattered in our lives. We didn't get hung up on the spectacle or on partisan differences. Above all, we believed in the system and in the American Dream. I was taught to work hard, to accept personal responsibility, to give back to the community.

What I saw in Washington appalled me. I knew we were polarized, but I had no idea that partisanship and pettiness consumed almost everything. Members of Congress in both parties agreed with the ideas but had to check with party leaders to make sure they could support them. Politicians wouldn't even sit down with folks from the other party. And very few understood that while they were fiddling and fighting, the world was changing—profoundly.

No aggressive federal plan to manage our public lands, our energy system, or the fire-prone urban-wildland interface that is destroying communities across the West in real time.
