The following essay was written by Eli Sabin, one of three candidates running in the Aug. 11 Democratic primary for the 92nd State House District. I want to take this moment to share more about why I decided to run for state rep. My commitment to Tikkun Olam is also what is driving me to run for state representative this year. With the outpouring of community support, Downtown for All passed in early December and was signed into law in mid-December. The day after I moved, incumbent State Rep. Pat Dillon started to make calls asking people to support her for a 22nd term.
