In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“My grandparents came to this country from Cuba; when I hear about socialism, my eyes roll. That's the one-year stage before full-blown communism.”
“We're a massive manufacturing district. We're one of the largest manufacturing districts per capita in the entire country, and with Trump's tariffs, they've actually seen so much demand that they're struggling to meet it.”
“The biggest thing happening in the 7th District is the tariffs”
“It's never easy to run for office”
“This district voted for President Trump three times, and very clearly, that's what the voters want in this district”
“I think President Trump has had an exceptional first year in office. Exceptional. He's ended more wars than I've ever seen ended in my lifetime. With his tariffs, he's bringing back the jobs and production we've lost overseas. I mean, truly, I don't think he could have done better.”

“You're right. It doesn't carry as much weight. It carries more”
“I mean, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, they had a whole lot of experience and it didn't work out so well. And, I have had experience. I've worked since I was 14 years old. I worked in construction for six years. I paid my way through college. And, I do think I have as much experience as really anyone in this because it's about life experience. I've been married for four years. I have my first kid on the way. I know what it's like to struggle to pay bills.”
“What has experience ever gotten us? Decline, decay, division”
