“ Steve Brockett is long-time friend and pillar of our community. Having had my own battles with cancer, I truly understand the importance of focusing on one’s family. The need to heal from such a loss as well as taking care of one’s own health is of utmost importance. I wish him well and hope to see him continue in our pursuit to unify and better our community. The Democratic Party needs more people who are willing to step up and do the good work he has done.” - Ashlie Myers
