(Photo credit: Lauren Slusher) For Teen Vogue this week, I profiled Heidi Sloan, a farmer, community organizer and Democratic Socialist who’s running to unseat GOP Rep. Roger Williams, who is one of the richest members of Congress. I spent an hour on the phone with Heidi and learned about her work advocating for immigrants, children with disabilities, service industry workers, and Austin’s homeless residents. She was also candid with me about the struggles of impostor syndrome while running for Congress as a “regular-ass person” (rather than a multi-millionaire.)
