Join the Meet the Candidate community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2422608677784519/ \nMore about Senator Gillibrand: \nBorn and raised in upstate New York\, Kirsten inherited a dedication to public service from her grandmother and mother\, who organized women and served their communities as Democratic activists. Drawing inspiration from them\, Kirsten began her career as a lawyer and then decided to pursue a path of public service. \nAfter serving in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in Washington\, D.C.\, Kirsten decided to move home to upstate New York to raise her family—and to eventually make a long-shot bid to represent her home district in Congress. With her 2-year-old son Theo in tow\, Kirsten ran for Congress in 2006 as an underdog for a seat held by a long-term Republican incumbent in a district with a 2-1 Republican majority. Unafraid of the uphill battle and determined to bring commonsense ideas to the table\, Kirsten won her election with calls for congressional ethics reform\, an end to the war in Iraq\, and Medicare for All. \nToday\, as a mother of young sons\, Kirsten is running for president to fight for America’s families as hard as she fights for her own. She’s running on a vision for an America in which quality and affordable health care is a right\, public education is strong regardless of the block you grow up on\, hard work is rewarded and greed and money are eliminated from politics. She has never been afraid of a fight—especially against President Trump—and she knows we need to restore integrity\, courage and compassion to the White House. Combating money in politics is key to her campaign and central to achieving progressive policies—she’s rejecting corporate PAC and federal lobbyist money and has disavowed individual super PACs. \nInspired by her grandmother\, Kirsten has made it her life’s mission to support and empower more women to step up and run for office. In 2010\, Kirsten launched Off The Sidelines: a call to action to encourage women and girls to make their voices heard on the issues they care about. In eight years\, Off The Sidelines has recruited\, mentored and supported dozens of women candidates for higher office and helped elect some of the Democratic Party’s brightest rising stars. \nKirsten graduated from Dartmouth College and the UCLA School of Law. She served as a law clerk on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals and as a lawyer in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development during the Clinton administration. She was elected to the House of Representatives in 2006 as the congresswoman representing NY-20 and was appointed to the U.S. Senate in 2009\, where she has since won reelection twice. Kirsten splits her time between upstate New York and Washington\, D.C.\, and lives with her husband\, Jonathan; their two sons\, Theo and Henry; and their labradoodle\, Maple.

SUMMARY:Rick Moody: The Long Accomplishment
DESCRIPTION:Rick Moody discusses his new memoir\, The Long Accomplishment: A Memoir of Hope and Struggle in Matrimony. \nPraise for The Long Accomplishment \n“Touching. . . . In heart-wrenching detail\, Moody . . . weaves in [tales] of hardship. . . . A revealing\, intimate memoir—and a moving love letter.” —Publishers Weekly \n“In unflinching\, diary style . . . Moody balances emotional adversity with poignant digressions. . . . And his clever turns of phrase hint at a sense of wonder . . . recognizing that good fortune seems preordained while transcending tragedy requires something magical\, namely\, the power of love.” —Booklist \nAbout The Long Accomplishment \nRick Moody\, the award-winning author of The Ice Storm\, shares the harrowing true story of the first year of his second marriage—an eventful month-by-month account—in The Long Accomplishment: A Memoir of Struggle and Hope in Matrimony \nAt this story’s start\, Moody\, a recovering alcoholic and sexual compulsive with a history of depression\, is also the divorced father of a beloved little girl and a man in love; his answer to the question “Would you like to be in a committed relationship?” is\, fully and for the first time in his life\, “Yes.” \nAnd so his second marriage begins as he emerges\, humbly and with tender hopes\, from the wreckage of his past\, only to be battered by a stormy sea of external troubles—miscarriages\, the deaths of friends\, and robberies\, just for starters. As Moody has put it\, “this is a story in which a lot of bad luck is the daily fare of the protagonists\, but in which they are also in love.” To Moody’s astonishment\, matrimony turns out to be the site of strength in hard times\, a vessel infinitely tougher and more durable than any boat these two participants would have traveled by alone. Love buoys the couple\, lifting them above their hardships\, and the reader is buoyed along with them.
