In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“I'm deeply honored and grateful for the trust voters have placed in me. This victory belongs to the thousands of supporters, volunteers, and neighbors who believe government should work for everyday people. Together, we built a campaign rooted in our shared values and a commitment to lowering costs and fighting corruption. I'm excited to continue this fight and earn the support of voters across the district this November.”

“Today's settlement is an important and positive step toward rebuilding the bridge as quickly, safely, and cost-effectively as possible. By avoiding the uncertainty and delay of a lengthy trial, these funds can be put to work sooner to support the recovery and reconstruction effort. The settlement is far greater than the liability claimed by the Dali's owner and operator.”

“I refuse to support legislation that allows ICE to continue operating without accountability. Under the Trump Administration, ICE repeatedly engages in actions that undermine public trust, including wrongful arrests, deportations of U.S. citizens, and routine disregard for many widely accepted law-enforcement standards. ICE is no longer enhancing public safety — instead, it is actively eroding it.”
