There is no greater advocate I have in my life than my sister; says Beto O'Rourke

[liskddksil]

In between the campaign events, town halls, television hits, and flights across America aimed at winning the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, there’s one person that Beto O’Rourke always makes time to catch up with: his 39-year-old sister, Erin, who was born with intellectual disabilities.

The former Texas congressman, who once served as his younger sister’s legal guardian, hops on the phone with Erin at the end of many of her workdays at a residential facility for adults and children three hours from El Paso, N.M., where she lives and works. Erin watched the Democratic debate last Tuesday in which her big brother became the first 2020 contender to discuss people with disabilities on the big stage.

1. As a person he impressed me.

I did not know this about Beto,but I see him as a person who is ruled by his compassionate nature.
It may not always be best for politics ,but he is a genuine ,good hearted man.

3. I was unaware that Beto had a sister with intellectual disabilities until today.

It provides me a better understanding about his compassion and how genuine he truly is.
