What does Eduardo Castillo support?
I'm Eduardo Castillo, a resident of Monmouth County, New Jersey, partner to a very lovely girl, and retail worker, just trying to make ends meet, like everyone else. I'm not cosplaying, I am a working class American, I've worked over 6 retail jobs, and I'm currently a retail worker, as of the writing of this post. I know what it's like to live paycheck to paycheck, to stress over bills that need to get paid, to be concerned over a lack of personal time, inability to connect with strangers, and family more, due to the constant excess of work. I know what it's like to pay hundreds in groceries, to go fill up gas, and have it be over 50 dollars, to worry about medical debt that keeps racking up, I am there, and I think we should do better, and that we can do better here, not only in Monmouth County, but in New Jersey, and the United States as a whole.
