<h1>Racquel has spent her career working alongside lawmakers, advocates, and community organizations to tackle issues like housing instability, mental health access, child welfare, public safety, and economic opportunity. Her work has taken her behind the scenes of government, where she has helped shape policy, analyze budgets, and elevate the voices of people who too often go unheard.</h1>

"I’m running to tackle the issues that show up in everyday life in the Sixth, from public safety and mental health to housing stability and overall quality of life. That means listening first, showing up consistently, and turning community concerns into practical solutions that make our streets safer, our families stronger, and our neighborhoods places people are proud to call home."

<h2>How to handle donations on your website</h2>Run does not process donations directly on our platform, as is standard with most political and advocacy sites.Campaigns are often required to comply with reporting requirements, donation limits, and other regulations, so using a donation processor that specializes in serving campaigns is generally a good idea. Sign up with a donation processor and then on your Pages sidebar, click the Link icon on the Donate page and add the link to your donation page. Some common options for donation processing include:<ul><li><a href="https://secure.actblue.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ActBlue</a></li><li><a href="https://www.campaigndeputy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Campaign Deputy</a> </li><li><a href="https://goodchange.app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">GoodChange</a></li><li><a href="https://numero.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Numero</a></li><li><a href="https://www.ngpvan.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NGP VAN</a></li></ul>
