In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“And the good thing that came out of it is I'm running for Congress because if my representative had done his job, I would still be working for the federal government. And you all wouldn't know my name. And that would be just fine with me.”
“Public service is what I do best. I joined the Navy out of high school. I served for 10 years. I was a Tennessee State Park Ranger. I worked in the backcountry here in Tennessee. And I worked as a veteran service coordinator. I helped veterans use their educational benefits.”
“The reason I'm running is because I was a doged federal employee. I worked for NOAA.”
“I want to bring honor and decency and respect back to the government.”
“That's kind of the catalyst of why I'm running is because of what we're seeing here. My platform for my campaign is affordability, accessibility, and accountability with affordability being the number one.”
