In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“I support comprehensive background checks, enforcement of existing gun laws, secure firearm storage, and reasonable measures to keep firearms away from violent criminals and individuals legally determined to pose a serious danger to themselves or others.”
“I respect the Second Amendment and the rights of law-abiding Americans to legally own firearms. At the same time, responsible gun ownership must go hand in hand with public safety.”
“Children must be protected from sexual exploitation and abuse, including online.”
“I am willing to support good ideas from across the political spectrum and work with anyone committed to constructive solutions.”
“I consider myself an Independent moderate. I evaluate issues individually rather than through a partisan or ideological lens.”
