In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“We have things that we want to do. On day one, I joined a candidate group called Take Back Congress and take Back Congress. I signed a pledge as part of. joining that group. That pledge has five parts term limits, a ban on stock trading by sitting congressmen, a moratorium on lobbying by departing congressmen, overturning Citizens United and an enforceable code of ethics for the Supreme Court”
“The single most important issue right now is affordability. This is not just a buzzword. This is people's lived experience. I have done events all over this district and talked to the voters and I hear how important this is to them. People have to make choices between paying their insurance premium or buying their medicine or buying food”
