In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“Our democracy should be owned by voters, not corporate donors. We will overturn Citizens United to get dark money out of politics, empower everyday Americans with a public financing system for campaigns, and move towards a ranked-choice voting system. to ensure our leaders represent the true majority and are quality candidates the people can get behind.”

“True health freedom means being able to see a doctor without fearing bankruptcy. It means your healthcare decisions are between you and your doctor, PERIOD!”
The Issues | Pooley4CongressSep 24, 2026 · Self-published · Pooley4Congress campaign website · source
“Washington is corrupted by powerful special interests and career politicians who've lost touch. We will end the revolving door of lobbyists, enact term limits for congress and SCOTUS to ensure fresh perspectives, and ban stock trading by sitting officials. Our government must be a public service, not a path to personal wealth or power. It's time to return power to its rightful owners: the people.”
The Issues | Pooley4CongressSep 24, 2026 · Self-published · Pooley4Congress campaign website · source
“We will unleash American ingenuity to bring jobs home. By investing in next-gen biofuels and regenerative materials, expanding trade schools, and building skilled workers up, we can create supply chains that start and end in the USA. This allows expansion into other fields such as building cheaper farm equipment and renewable energy. We will ensure these new jobs pay a living wage by protecting the right to organize and join a union.”
The Issues | Pooley4CongressSep 24, 2026 · Self-published · Pooley4Congress campaign website · source
“This campaign isn't about me, it's about US! It's about building a future where jobs pay dignity wages, where healthcare doesn't bankrupt you, where we hold corporations accountable, where our conserve our planet better, and where the next generation inherits a country as strong as the values we pass down. That's the America I believe in, and with your help, that's the America we'll fight fo r together!”

“Why? Because it seems our representatives are too out of touch to bother with those of us who put in the long hours, who bust our backs, and who pull ourselves up by our bootstraps every morning to build this nation. If we are serious about bringing good paying, high skilled manufacturing jobs back, elect someone with years of hands on experience getting into the thick of it!”

“As a third-generation manufacturer (currently a CNC machinist and programmer) I have been immersed in the world of metal, rubber, and plastic from a young age. My upbringing around the production of rubber gaskets, O-rings, plastic details, car parts, and more has instilled in me a broad understanding of the industry. With 15 years of personal experience and a lifetime being around this industry, I proudly fight for my fellow blue-collar workers, and am tired of hearing the same hot phrase that never gets addressed: Bring manufacturing back!”
