In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“I am an America First patriot — low taxes, limited government, peace through strength, common sense — all that good stuff,”
“I'm a Conservative that believes in our God-given freedoms, Republican Principles, preserving our American freedoms, allowing free markets, keeping low taxes for all, boosting a strong U.S. economy, peace through strength, opportunity for all, while standing up for everyday Americans,”
“So-called 'good' programs are not helping people, they're creating government dependency,”
“I think just showing people our Republican values and how those values can help people, families, businesses, individuals, yeah, I think everybody resonates with those,”
“I'm ready for it,”
