    Ayanna Pressley has unseated 10 term incumbent Michael Capuano in this year’s Democratic primary election. Pressley is set to make history, becoming the first black woman in Congress if she gets elected into office. After a long grassroots campaign, and beating the odds around every corner, it seems like “change is on the way”

    Pressley stepped up to the plate in one of the most tumultuous political climates. At a time when people are demanding change, she is promising to do just that for her constituents. She calls for actions like the impeachment of Trump and the demolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Pressley states “this district and these times demand more than just an ally, they demand an advocate and a champion.” By shaking the liberal ground she has held true to her slogan “change can’t wait.”

    Pressley is joining the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who ousted the Democratic House incumbent in New York, and Andrew Gillium who beat the odds for governor in Florida. Both of which, overcame the obstacle of being the underdog. Furthermore, by expressing herself as very liberal and outspoken, she sets herself apart from the previous Representative.

    All in all, congratulations are in order for the trailblazer. Check out her speech below, and let us know what you think.
