In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“Just think of all the motivation for individuals to come and risk it all to escape that brutal regime and come to freedom. That was inspirational.”
“I'd noticed there wasn't a Senate candidate who was running on the Democrat side. So I started a campaign for the United States Senate in July 2023.”
“And then she endorsed me for the house in the district where she previously served, which is here,”
“I'm for pressure on the [Cuban] regime. I want the regime to collapse. The way they're going about it? If they think that... what they did in Venezuela is causing great change for the Venezuela people, just do the same thing in Cuba? Wrong answer.”
