My name is Candy Jean Emmons. I am a 30 year old millennial, feminist, Democrat, and I work in Politics. Views expressed here are obviously my own, and are not necessarily that of my employer.

I’m a 5th generation Oregonian, and I live in Portland with my husband Vaughn and our tiny teeny dog, Dobby (the free elf)-who we adopted in January of 2017.

Outside of militant feminism, my hobbies include hiking, backpacking, rock & ice climbing, travel, photography, and my crockpot.

Also bourbon.
