In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“Now it is time to lock arms and focus on what matters: keeping the House, keeping the Senate, and finishing the job President Trump started for the American people. There is more work to do…and we are not done.”
Palmer wins special Republican primary for Congressional District 6Aug 11, 2026 · Press · 1819 News · source
“The people of the 6th District are hardworking, faithful, and conservative to the core. They are small business owners, farmers, parents, veterans, and neighbors who get up every day and do the right thing for their families and their communities. That is who I work for. That is who this has always been about.”
Palmer wins special Republican primary for Congressional District 6Aug 11, 2026 · Press · 1819 News · source
“I want to thank every voter across this district for once again showing strong support for the work we have been doing in Congress on your behalf. I do not take that support for granted. Not tonight, not ever.”
