In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“That's where I am every Sunday. I'm not going anywhere.”
“Win or lose, I'll tell you where to find me: back pew, center aisle, First Methodist Church at 8:45 a.m.”
“Some people didn't like that. That's OK, but I will say in four years, I've never seen a single vote from the thousands we've taken to have ever gone down party lines. Why? Because in local politics, we don't play the D/R game. We focus on people and policy, and when we focus on that, stuff gets done.”
“I've been a longtime Democrat and I'm a proud Democrat.”
“That's nothing compared to the House, but most people who are in Congress are people who have either a bunch of personal wealth or have access to personal wealth. It shuts down politics.”
“I know how hard it is to sway seven people on a council.”

“10 years ago or 10 years from now: no. At this very time, I am the person. I think what this district needs is somebody like me, who is from here, who is willing to meet people where they're at from the approach of listening.”
“I think I'm the right candidate in the right place at the right time.”
“I'm a big, big proponent of local government. Even as a person who's running for a federal seat, I will tell you: local government is where it's at.”
“The honor of serving the people of Richardson will be one of the biggest honors of my life, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.”
