Chardo Richardson FL-07

"Chardo Richardson has devoted much of his life protecting and serving others. As a young boy growing up in Mississippi, he found himself always standing up for those who were bullied or less fortunate. The passion for serving his fellow brothers and sisters carried over into his adult life when he joined the United States Air Force. Chardo proudly served nearly 12 years as an Airman. It was during these times he witnessed oppression and the daily struggle for the average person to live day to day in many other countries.


These remarkable moments compelled Chardo to attend law school where he earned his law degree. He immersed himself into the community and began working with incarcerated felons and juveniles. The nationwide epidemic of mass incarceration was plain to see and Chardo has made it a personal endeavor to eliminate this injustice and create reform. Chardo's innate sense for human compassion and equality led him to the Central Florida Chapter of the ACLU. Chardo knew this was one more way he could serve people and protect the civil rights and liberties of those he lived and worked with. Holding back his passion for people and life is impossible for Chardo and that came through when he would attend the ACLU meetings...."

Kerri Harris Delaware U.S. Senate

I live in Kent County, work in New Castle County, have a daughter in Capital School District, and organize throughout Delaware to make sure every person has a voice in the policies that affect their daily lives.

Kerri Evelyn Harris childhood photoI come from a diverse, multicultural family that instilled values of equality, opportunity, and respect for all people, regardless of background. My parents were advocates and organizers who taught us the value of public service. My family history shaped the person I am today, and instilled these core values that continue to drive me.

I first answered the call to service in the aftermath of 9/11. As a loadmaster in the Air Force, I transported troops and equipment from Dover to bases across the Middle East, Europe, and Africa. I witnessed the cost of war. I saw soldiers suffering from PTSD who were unable to make the trip back overseas. Following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, I volunteered with Habitat for Humanity rebuilding houses along the Gulf Coast. I was an airman by day and a volunteer construction worker by night. It was one of the most meaningful times in my life...."
