My Immigration Story:

Several generations ago my family members made their way to the United States from Russia, Ireland, Germany and Wales.  My father’s paternal grandparents fled Russia to escape persecution.  They changed their last name to “Brown” when they arrived at Ellis Island and they settled in Philadelphia where my great grandmother sold used clothing door-to-door.  My father’s maternal grandparents emigrated from Ireland to New York where my great grandfather found work on the construction crews that built the Holland Tunnel.  My mother’s great grandparents left Ireland, Germany and Wales and settled in coal country Pennsylvania.   

I often think of that first generation and the sacrifices they made for our family.  I take great pride in representing new first-generation Americans as they navigate the legal system to build a new life for their own families.
