In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“Now more than ever, people across the political spectrum want our elected representatives to represent ALL of us, not the billionaires and elites whose influence captures politicians of both parties.”
“Talking with voters across northern Wisconsin since last fall has made crystal clear how much power the federal government has to make our lives better, and, when Congress drops the ball, how much power it has to make our lives so much worse”
“this Congress has been an abject failure for northern Wisconsin”
“The reason I do is that just yesterday, he voted to have Congress have the war powers in order to basically confirm the decision of whether or not we should be at war in Iran. He's an example to me of a principled Republican whose position doesn't change from year to year. He actually follows through on his beliefs.”
“Yeah, that's a great question. So when I think about our U.S. Congress, I'll tell you somebody I give a lot of credibility to, and that's Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky”
“You engage with everyone in your community with respect, with an open ear, and realize that you may not agree on everything, but we've got so much more in common that we have to work together on to be successful.”

“What I learned there is that you've got to go to work to represent everybody”
