In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“Some people see a district that voted 80% MAGA and ask, “Why bother?” I see a district that deserves better and say, “Watch me.””
“It rewards politicians for using simplistic labels that pit neighbor against neighbor.”
“I love my country, and I’m fed up with a two-party system that forces voters to choose between extremists.”
