In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“We have to make sure that we're protecting our ranchers, keeping the cost of beef down for the consumers, but we're also at the same time protecting those industries from foreign interests”
“If anybody's just focused on one issue in one part of the district, you're probably not adequately representing constituents”
“President Trump needs a winner more than anything in Washington, D.C.”
“Radical progressives will stop at nothing to weaponize the federal government against conservatives, reopen our borders to violent criminals and deadly cartels, and plague our classrooms with woke ideologies that reject fundamental American values. I”
“When I go to Washington, D.C., we're going to take on the institution”
