In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“I am Antonio Wilson, a licensed general contractor, business owner, and community leader from Tallulah. I built my career managing real construction projects, meeting payroll, and fixing aging systems that families rely on. That work shaped how I approach public life, with clear plans, honest budgets, and accountability for every promise.”
“I treat this campaign like a major build, with clear plans, public timelines, and accountability for every dollar. I am prepared to work with Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike, because my only test is simple and specific, did it help the people of the Fifth District build a stronger future.”
“I am excited that an opportunity to have an opportunity to go into a runoff, if that's possible for a Democrat to go into a runoff, to meet with a Republican”
“I do believe that this 5th congressional district is the most competitive district and the district that we can see a Democrat win on November 3rd.”
“Jobs, Economic Development & Population Growth, Infrastructure, Water & Sewer and Agriculture & the Farm Economy”
