While Juliette’s Situ inspired her to run for Governor, she also taught her that everyone deserves the right to belong to the broader community. This idea propelled Juliette to work for President Clinton and President Obama, and most recently for current Massachusetts Governor, Deval Patrick. Juliette wants to take her experience in state and federal government to continue to push for a 21st century infrastructure, an education system that brings kids from birth to career, and a robust economy where everyone has access to a job.
