In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“But if it were in front of me as a member of Congress, I would vote no, absolutely no.”
“As someone whose number one priority is to balance the budget, I would need more information about how they're going to pay for that.”
“It has got to come with a balanced budget, period”
“I think those are policies that help people who are really struggling, middle-class working families and our seniors.”
“I do believe in no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security.”
“We really need to make America affordable again”

“I believe the biggest point of contrast, quite frankly, is that for the last few campaign cycles she has campaigned as though she's a very moderate individual, and yet her voting record in Congress is in stark contrast to that”
“They are ready to be represented by someone who shares the same common sense West Michigan values as they do, and I'm the best candidate to fill the bill.”
“The one thing that we're really hearing over and over again is people are ready for a change.”
