In a way, the anchor of my political destiny rests on U.S. Sen. Al Franken's legacy. I left my 10-year-old son with a neighbor in Reseda, Calif., in 2008 to work for the Democratic Party in Minnesota. For six weeks in Bemidji, I was a field organizer for a coordinated campaign to promote the Democrats' new star Al Franken as well as Collin Peterson and John Persell. I had just finished my master's degree in political science at Cal State Northridge, and it was my brainiac friends, like Jing Cheng Xu, a Berkeley student, who insisted I take the job.
