In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“I have heard directly from my constituents about the significant impacts of the proposed line, … They feel like they are being pushed around by your company. This is something I will not stand for.”
“There’s something that’s sorely lacking in this political business and it’s loyalty”
“These investments have made a real difference to real people all over rural America, including back home at Black River Falls Memorial Hospital”
“I hope that the mainstream media, for the first time in a very long time, actually reports what Republicans have been doing for the past couple of years”
“There’s a tremendous amount of misinformation out there”
“So I do not want a data center sitting in that cornfield. I do not want a data center that doesn't have a closed loop cooling system.”

“There were nights where I went to sleep, wondering if I was going to be able to make payroll when you first start”
“That money is going to go into rural communities to make sure that we have actual affordable, high quality, readily available health care.”
“Is Congress now going to set the rules of engagement for the military overseas?”
“It is abundantly clear by the amount of cabinet level secretaries who are here that the Trump administration cares about rural America”
“Because of my previous vocation, I understand that we simply don’t have a lot of time to sit around trading platitudes.”
“I speak the truth as I know it, and I say what I want to say when I want to say it regardless of the political fallout”
