In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“We are a very grassroots campaign. We're not taking PAC money or anything, AIPAC or anybody else. So, we don't have a lot of money in campaigning. But, every day, I sleep well, and I wake up knowing that I'm not beholden to anyone, any particular special interest. I'll be beholden to the people of the district that I represent.”

“We're looking forward to a great campaign, and we're looking forward to—regardless of how the district looks—we're going to keep moving forward.”
