"I’m running because I was denied the right to basic healthcare. I’m running because I don’t want any other family to experience the pain my family did."
Phillips had to travel to New York to access an abortion, a trip that her family was not prepared to pay for. She raised funds for the trip with a GoFundMe, and due to financial constraints, she had to travel there alone. Inbefore the Senate Budget Committee, Phillips said,"I had to start a GoFundMe effort online to help cover the unexpected medical and travel costs.
"I just had my opinions and would share them online. I would participate in Women's and BLM marches if I could, but outside of that, I wasn't too involved." But Phillips isn't stopping there. She told BuzzFeed how she found the resources to start her campaign for her state's House of Representatives."I started by reaching out and meeting with current and past representatives and asked them for advice on how to start a campaign. I did have a lot of help from my local county party , but other than that, I was pretty much on my own at the beginning.
