In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“My future is my mission. I'm the one who defines it.”
“I came up through service. I believe in going toward challenges, not away from them.”
“We love the peace and stability that is offered here, and we don't want entities like data centers or those who control them to make choices without our say so.”
“We love our environment”
“We're at war -- an undeclared, unsanctioned war that is being paid for by dollars that weren't allocated for war, so we've got to get this war under control and put a stop to that.”
“The world needs a stable environment to be economically efficient”
