LaQuita Alsum

I have always believed it is my responsibility to advocate for those who are often ignored and disenfranchised. That belief has shaped every part of my journey—both professionally and personally. For 25 years, I proudly served at the largest and, in my view, most effective labor union in this state and country. During that time, I worked to ensure the voices of working people were heard, protected, and empowered.

Though my professional path has evolved, my commitment to service has not wavered. In each role I’ve taken since—whether in public service, advocacy, or community engagement—I’ve remained grounded in the values that matter most to me: faith, family, and friendship. I strive to approach all things with compassion, consideration, and a deep sense of community, believing that every action—no matter how small—can contribute to lasting impact.

Romans 8:28 continues to guide my life: “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.” I hold on to that promise as I walk in purpose, lead with heart, and continue to serve those who need it most.
