In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“You have someone who voted to take healthcare away from people and you have someone who worked to get more people healthcare. You have someone who’s voted to take food away from people, you have someone who worked to get food to people when they’re hungry. I think the voters gotta decide which one they prefer,”
“My North Star is the health and well-being of the people of the 6th District,”
