In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“I'm running to give the people a choice in this election,”
“Across the district, time and time again, people were saying they were upset. They believe the political system is rigged against them,”
“I think if we want to be realistic, we are going to have to align with the outside groups, we need to align with outside entities to make sure our message is heard,”
“(The reality is) that the system is broken, this immigration system, so we need to have a comprehensive immigration reform,”
“This campaign is not about tearing anyone down; this campaign is about lifting this district up.”
“I don't answer to a party, I answer to the people. I'm running because our country faces serious challenges: rising costs, immigration and public safety concerns, economic uncertainty and a political system that feels increasingly disconnected from reality.”
Show all 9 statementsShow fewer
“I'm running as an independent because this moment demands an independent voice,”
“No open debate, no real choice for the people. That's not how democracy is supposed to work. Representation is earned, not inherited.”
“Recently we saw our current congressman choose to bypass the democratic process handpicking his successor instead of allowing the voters to decide who gets to represent them,”
