In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“I firmly believe that all things that are really worth doing in life are hard”
“And I always think to myself, 'Well, not with that kind of attitude, you're not.'”
“I think one of the things that frustrates me so much is people say, 'Eileen, this is all great, but you're going to go to Congress and you're not going to be able to get anything done because no one ever does anything in Congress.'”
“Traveling around this district has made me realize that rural America needs champions and needs people who will fight for them”
“You have to be there to have the conversation. You have to look people in the eyes.”
“I just felt called to try to make a difference. I wanted my kids and my grandkids to know that in this time I was willing to do something uncomfortable and difficult and scary to try to make this country a better place”

“I was 17-years-old when I raised my right hand for the first time and took an oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I took those words, and that responsibility, seriously every day for nearly 4 decades. But in all those years, I have never felt as much of a threat to our country, our Constitution, our very democracy, as I do at this time.”
