Born to a poor Hispanic family in New York City, Dr. Richard Carmona experienced homelessness, hunger and bleak prospects for a future education and economic opportunity.
The child of parents who emigrated to the United States and struggled with alcoholism and substance abuse, Rich learned tough early lessons about economic disparities and social injustice – an experience he has never forgotten, and one that has given him an understanding of how culture, health, education and economic status shape our country.
I can identify with Dr. Carmona, the former Surgeon General, and I think you can too.
Arizona needs Senators who care about the average Arizonan and are willing to serve our interests. Vote for Rich, not the rich, and help change Arizona's future for the better.
