11 Progressive Women Gearing Up to Take the 2018 Elections by Storm

Dr. Mai Khanh Tran's story is truly remarkable; she arrived to the US at 9 years old after her father dropped her and her three siblings off at a Saigon orphanage, just before the city fell in the Vietnam War. Her family was later reunited in the United States, taking on farm work and janitorial jobs to make ends meet. She saved money to attend Harvard cleaning bathrooms and today is a pediatrician in Orange County.

Tran is now running for Congress in California, with a mission to "fight Donald Trump's assault on healthcare and women's rights."
