Will you help me celebrate Father’s Day, {NAME}?

{NAME}, this is John Pugh, Dr. Pamela Pugh’s father, wishing your family a Happy Father’s Day! [Pamela Pugh for Congress]( {NAME}, this is John Pugh, Dr. Pamela Pugh’s father, wishing your family a Happy Father’s Day! Public service is very important in our family. As Pam mentioned last month in her Memorial Day outreach, I served in the U.S. Air Force in the 1960’s and also spent most of my career as an administrator and an economics professor at Delta College. Our family’s lineage of service and helping others in need goes back even further than my own – Pam’s grandparents opened up a school down in Mississippi where our family is from, and when we relocated to Michigan’s 8th District when Pam was just a baby, her mom took care of many children in our community as their moms went to work, including many of my colleagues. She later became a paraprofessional working with children with disabilities to help them learn, grow, and thrive. And of course, on Father’s Day I would be remiss not to mention that any Father or any parent knows that raising children is the ultimate act of giving up your own self to invest in our future generations – putting your time, energy, wealth, spirit, and whole self into raising your children is in some ways, the ultimate act of service – and one that teaches you beautiful new things about yourself and the world around you. I remember taking Pam to her first DNC convention with me as I served as a DNC Delegate for Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. That must have planted a seed in her mind about politics. As Pam’s father, I could not be prouder of the life she’s led remaining engaged in grassroots politics and the career she’s had in public service. Now, her campaign for Congress is nearing an inflection point, and she needs our help.
