๐ป๐ Megan OโRourke, PhD โ10, is running for Congress (NJ 7)!! I took the train to western NJ to attend her event! Megan grew up in the district, got a PhD at Cornell in agriculture science, worked for the USDA, then resigned in February, to move back home and run for Congress!!
I am super-impressed, with how well she connects with her constituents:
- she grew up in her district, her brothers are here, her mother is still in the childhood home
- she understands the affordability challenges, sheโs been on medicaid and food stamps before
- her district has many farmers, her PhD is in agriculture, and she worked for the USDA
Meganโs story is super-inspiring, how she went from growing up in rural NJ, to working for the federal government in DC, and now sheโs home again to run for Congress, to represent the people she grew up with!!

I met a role model Cornellian at Meganโs event!! he showed up!! its important that more Cornellians show up!! hereโs a list of every Cornellian running for Congress, please show up for their events!!

P.S. thereโs 2 Cornellians running in the NJ 7 race. itโs important to me that I am neutral, that I post about both candidates, that I donโt talk to the candidates about each other.
