In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“Both political parties have sold out the American people and allowed corporations and the rich to build an economy that works for them at the expense of us. I am running to build an economy that works for working people, not billionaires.”

Mike Thurow | Independent for Congress — campaign siteSep 24, 2026 · Self-published · thurowforcongress.com · source

“But we've seen no real action in those 20 years of actually making sure childcare is more affordable, making sure housing is more affordable. So the issues that actually matter to people aren't being dealt with. And they really believe the two-party system is a huge reason for what's going on right now.”
