In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“When she had an opportunity to vote for things that would actually help the people of the district, she said no.”
“Now many need two incomes just to tread water. And we’re still digging our way out of Biden’s inflation crisis.”
“We have to give this president bigger majorities in Congress so we can help him finish the job, because the Democrats won’t stop trying to stack the deck.”
“We need to unlock federal land for development, but we should do it over a shorter period of time than this bill allows.”
“Reinstating these subsidies won't fix our healthcare system that Democrats broke.”
“Iran can never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon and I applaud the President for taking the steps necessary to prevent that.”

“President Trump uses tariffs as a form of diplomacy to level the playing field on trade or to protect our national security.”
“All illegal immigrants who have committed additional crimes while in the United States should be deported which is a reversal of the Biden-era policy that Susie Lee enabled.”
“This piano's in tune because I take care of it. Neglect it, and nothing sounds right. That's our economy.”
“I really believe that it's time to get back to a place where one good job is enough…enough to raise a family, buy a home, get your kids a good education, take a vacation.”
“Much like President Trump, I didn’t come from the world of politics. I spent my entire career in the business world.”
“We cannot waste the money or the time allowing intra-party squabbling to sidetrack us; we have a country to save.”
“In 2026, President Donald J. Trump will need reinforcements in Congress to help secure the border, cut spending, and reduce the size of the federal government.”
