Hi, everybody. It's here. I'm still processing this idea that it took this long to have somebody like me be in a position that represents a district that is as diverse as ours. I was born in a small town called San Geronimo, but in Chicago, it's in the city of Michoacan. The state of Michigan has a large indigenous population. Were called for, I betcha. So my parents and I lived with my grandma on my dad's side and him and his whole family, because that's what you do in Mexico. My grandpa had the ability here in the States working, and my dad pretty much too. He would go back and forth. So I had really only met him, you know, a handful of times I came to this country like many other families. As a four year old, had a pretty typical upbringing from a migrant family population. So that means that I spent many of my summers in the fields with my parents picking berries. And as the oldest of my siblings, I often care for them. And I do remember being a huge adjustment. My dad was able to get a job, a full time job in Clackamas at this nursery, and so when our family came together, we lived in this mobile home that the company essentially set up for their workers. The thing was, is that the the farmers told my parents that, you know, these facilities aren't for families. We were homeless, essentially. Yeah. And eventually my parents found a home in Jervis Bay. And that house had no functioning plumbing. I had no running water. My parents. I mean, that's all really. But they could afford. And because they didn't speak English and didn't know their rights, they weren't ever able to complain. But I knew that was not where I wanted to spend my adult life. And I had amazing support in the school systems. And I went to public schools, and my teachers were really, really supportive of me and encouraging of me and always, always just instilled this idea of me going to college someday. So I had it in my head that I was going to go to college and that was my dream. I learned about nonprofits in college. I learned about serving our community and became very passionate about giving back, because I saw a lot of injustices as a young person, beginning with my own family, living in a home with no plumbing. You know, going to the fields and making $0.10 a pound for crates. And I, I think I developed the sense of I need to do something when I can, when I'm old enough. I went there to become a the director of the College Assistance Migrant program. So I came full circle. I was part of the migrant program as a child. And now I got to be a director that created scholarships for our migrant students to go to college. To me, that was like the ultimate job. My parents and I were talking and they said, you know, Mihai, you always said you wanted to come back home. When are you going to come back home? And I said, I don't know. I don't know yet. And so three years after I moved here, I started getting calls. And these calls were from community leaders who said, we would like you to consider applying for a city council position. And I said, well, you know, that's not something that I thought about. I thought maybe when I retire and when I would, could give, you know, significant time to. So that was the beginning of my political career. And three years later, three years later, exactly the same thing occurred. I got calls from community leaders, including our state representative at the time. We had coffee and we talked about this idea of me considering running for office. And I consulted with my parents and my family just to let them know that this was potentially something that I would be doing, and how would they feel about it? They weren't sure. I think because in many countries outside of the US, it's it's a dangerous position. And I know my mom was very, very cautious and very, you know, a little bit standoffish about this idea. But eventually both of them said that this is something you want to do. Then do it. I'm running for state representative to get Salem's priorities straight and create a government that's accountable to all of us. Too many politicians in Salem have the wrong priorities and not the best interests of students, working families, seniors, and small businesses in mind. I love this idea that when I go knock on doors, that people can be comfortable and speak their native language and they can communicate to me. I love being the very first campaign that ran a multilingual campaign in the history of our state. My parents remind me how I've inspired so many people to become citizens. So by my second campaign, both my parents became citizens and people in our community. And my dad would say that so-and-so just became a citizen, that they can vote for you. I am proud to be a citizen in a country with such a rich history of weaving the stories of immigrants into our national identity, and a country where immigrants can make their stories heard in our government. This is what Oregon and America is all about. When I think about policies, I think about my my district first. Like what? What does my district want and need for me? A lot of members of my district are elders. So I often think about what kind of policies can I pass to protect and support our elders. We have a large, diverse community and think about what policies we need to work to support them. I think about social justice type of policies, health focused, education focused, because those are really in my areas. They're in my wheelhouse. So I've worked on policies that actually meet all of those areas. Before our swine in at the Capitol, I asked the speaker if there were going to be any performances because I didn't know what that was going to look like. And she said, well, we don't usually have performances, but what what do you have in mind? I said, well, my parents, you know, they have this dance that's performed during celebrations, and I would love it if my family could be part of the swearing in ceremony. And she said, wow, that's an awesome idea. She said, yeah, absolutely. So My parents first time at the Capitol was a few days before we got sworn in so they could practice. And so my parents got to be part of history to. To.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2874/collection_resources/130887/file/245116#t=48.38,619.79"}]},{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2874/collection_resources/130887/file/245116/transcript/76527","type":"AnnotationPage","label":{"en":["English [Transcript]"]},"items":[{"id":"https://uoregon.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2874/collection_resources/130887/file/245116/transcript/76527/annotation/4","type":"Annotation","motivation":"subtitling","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"https://d9jk7wjtjpu5g.cloudfront.net/file_transcripts/associated_files/000/076/527/original/trint_UA142_clark_kisa_testimony_transcript.vtt?1740432784","format":"text/vtt","language":"en"},"target":"https://d9jk7wjtjpu5g.cloudfront.net/file_transcripts/associated_files/000/076/527/original/trint_UA142_clark_kisa_testimony_transcript.vtt?1740432784"}]}]}]}
