About the Author

Tulsi Gabbard is a distinguished American politician, military veteran, and author whose career has been marked by a commitment to principled leadership and national unity. Born in American Samoa and raised in Hawaii, she served as a U.S. Representative for Hawaii's 2nd congressional district from 2013 to 2021, becoming the first Hindu elected to Congress and the youngest woman ever to win a congressional seat. A combat veteran of the Iraq War with the Hawaii Army National Guard, Gabbard has advocated for veterans' rights, environmental protection, and non-interventionist foreign policy. In her writing, she draws from personal experience to critique political divisions and inspire civic engagement. Her book 'For Love of Country: Leave the Democrat Party Behind' reflects her bold decision to leave the Democratic Party in 2022, urging a return to core American values amid growing partisanship.
