In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“In Congress, I will work to bring people together around our shared American values. I will never tolerate Jew-hatred in any form and will always put people before politics.”
“Washington's reckless spending is driving up prices on everything. I will put working families first. Government is too big, too wasteful, and too intrusive. I will cut taxes, fight inflation, eliminate fraud and waste, and restore accountability in Washington.”
“John Nagel is running for Congress to bring back safety, sanity, and service, and to restore Minneapolis and the surrounding suburbs of Minnesota's Fifth Congressional District to the pride of the North. He is running because working families are being squeezed while our streets grow less safe.”
