Tracy Lenzini is knocking on doors and knocking doors down in Kingsley, Michigan. As a strong believer in helping those who help others, Tracy is devoted to motivating citizens to make their voices heard. She understand the daily struggles of families across the country—she’s been living with rheumatoid arthritis for ten years, and has since experienced the devastation of the recession.
But the challenges in her life have strengthened her resolve. “I have personal connection the important issues and problems of today, and because of that, I have a stronger desire to find a permanent solution.”
Tracy is currently seeking solutions for two main issues: healthcare, because her arthritis diagnosis woke her up to the severe lack in healthcare affordability for many families, and education, because she has always believed that investing in children is the only way to secure a successful future.
Yet Tracy knew that passion alone is not enough to make an impact. That’s when she applied for Go Run in Chicago. Tracy, alongside 98 aspiring business leaders and political candidates, learned how to turn her personal experiences, passion for change, and policy focus into a working campaign strategy.
“I was so impressed with how many eager and passionate women participants were there,” said Tracy, “I walked away with lifelong connections… Go Run gave me the confidence boost I needed to get the ball rolling, and pushed me to make decisions I never thought I was ready for.”
Invigorated with support and a working action plan, Tracy is pushing forward in her political leadership, planning to run in 2012.
