In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“Congress is supposed to -- in their job description -- hold the executive branch accountable, and that has not been done. And so that is a part of my 'why' for running for Congress.”
“We have a president and a Congress that run roughshod over the law, over ethics.”
“And that has to do with the fact that, sadly, what many people are making does not keep up with inflation. And so we have to rethink what a living wage is, as opposed to talking about minimum wage.”
“The sad reality is that most in District 30, for example, are one crisis away from economic disaster.”
“And a part of playing chess is looking not just to what happens this year, but what's going to happen in '28 and what will happen in 2030. And that's what I try to bring -- a long-term vision so that we can turn this thing around and make some changes that will benefit the people I know.”
“And so she's been really helpful in that regard. She has been very encouraging about my prospects of serving and serving well.”

“Even though I've been with her during her previous campaigns, I never paid attention with a view toward, okay, I'll be doing this one day.”
“I just think it was a matter of prayer, responding to the push of my people and then my own sense of calling.”
“This is a continuation of the mission I've been doing for so many years, and it's just extending it to a political platform, even though I've always been one to stand for justice and try to bring justice to politics.”
“We have a terrorist group of ICE agents who are moving throughout this nation and engaging in waging war on communities”
“I hope y'all join me. Let's go to the house with an outside voice and make America a better place.”
“I want to get to Congress because those outside need a voice and vision on the inside.”
