In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“Our greatest challenge over the next 5 years will be untangling the corruption and instilling in the American people confidence in government and that it is here to serve you. We have no Kings! People are hungry and are looking for change.”
“I am running for this position to improve the quality of life for every constituent in Texas Congressional #14. As a candidate I honestly believe that "Putting People Over Politics" makes our communities a better place when we listen to the constituents and address the needs of everyday Americans. In addition, my beliefs are shaped by lived experience, community conversations, and a commitment to practical solutions that improve one's daily life.”
“It's gonna be difficult, it's not easy, it's not gonna be handed to me. But unless something happens to me, God knows that I'm up for the task”
“My educational preparation, my political preparation, my administrative preparation, my managerial preparation, my personal preparation has been ready for this”
“Running against what I would say is in the incumbent is not a task for a weak individual. It's not a task for an unprepared individual. I am neither”
