Dear Bethany and Jordan Grace,
I know, I know. Youre used to hearing your dad say that as long as you work hard and have faith, nothing is impossible. But sometimes it can be hard to even dream of doing something nobody like you has ever done. Trust me, I know.
Growing up, I never expected to see a politician who looked like me become president. But in 2008, I watched in awe as Barack Obama ascended to the highest political office in the country.
*****
If you study hard, love your family, serve your community, are never afraid to lead, and continue to follow the model of your mother, your grandmothers, and women like Secretary Clinton, nothing should ever stop you from achieving your dreams.
I am doing everything I can to put a woman in the White House because I believe both of you can grow up to be presidentand I want you to believe it, too.
Love,
Dad
