In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“I am an optimist, and I believe in our democracy through and through. ... I understand that we have a lot of things going on, and a lot of measures that look like it's not a democracy. But the fact of the matter is when it comes to the election, we will hold an election, and elections have consequences.”
“These are trying times, so I want to be careful,”
“Specifically, what I'm asking for is making sure there are body cameras if you are not on a secret mission or secure mission. They should remove their masks, have identification as far as their name or badge number, and have to wear body cameras.”
“I want to make sure that we have accountable actions from ICE and border patrol,”
“My authority is to make sure that, as a member of Congress, before we send men and women into conflict, I have a full understanding of what is the end game, how do you define success, what is going to be in humanity, and what is the mission,”
“Never give up hope that our government isn't about engagement and civil activity, meaning being involved. Never, ever give up hope on that.”

“I do my very best to absorb it and move forward,”
“I look forward to providing an update on the 119th Congress and hearing directly from constituents about any pressing issues of concern,”
“Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons poses a serious threat to the United States, our allies, and stability in the Middle East, but under our Constitution, the authority to declare war rests solely with Congress, not the President acting alone.”
