We need to support Mary Burke for Governor!

Our life before moving to Washington was filled with simple joys...Saturdays at soccer games, Sundays at grandma's house...and a date night for Barack and me was either dinner or a movie, because as an exhausted mom, I couldn't stay awake for both.

And the first thing we have to do is vote. Hey, no, not just once in a while. Not just when my husband or somebody you like is on the ballot. But in every election at every level, all of the time.

I am a sleeper. When you wake up at 4:30 in the morning to do a workout, you're sleepy at 8 in the evening. By 10 o'clock at the latest, I'm in bed.

I think that people are tired. They're tired of the same old kind of politics. People want a new tone to politics.

I've always been a closet jock, but when I got married and had kids, that fell by the wayside.

The one thing I believe is that families are off-limits. And I think my husband said it, and he was clear on that. And I totally agree with him.
