In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“Now we've crossed 40 trillion dollars in national debt. So, the folks that have been in charge for the last two years have had their shot to do something about this, I want to take my shot at it”
To the Point: Hotly contested West Michigan electionsSep 12, 2026 · Press · WOOD TV8 via Yahoo News · source
“That's something I would take a look at at the time, should I be elected to Congress in January, see what the lay of the land is at that time. I'm very concerned about the Netanyahu government's conduct in Israel, conduct that's been supported by the Trump administration and a Congress that basically rubber-stamps Trump's foreign policy — the same foreign policy that's gotten us into this war in Iran, expanded conflict in the Middle East, no closure or conclusion to the war in Ukraine”

“Here's what I'll do: It's — ban Congress and the president from owning and trading stocks. Stop members of Congress from becoming lobbyists and selling out to the interests that they are supposed to regulate, and the practice of taxpayers' money being used on luxury first-class travel and above-market-rate lodging. Strengthen the tools Congress uses to investigate ethical wrongdoing, enforce the rules and make sure that there are actually consequences for officials that steal or misuse funds to benefit themselves”

“That's right, one of just 13 members of Congress to say that we shouldn't make it harder to go after the people using inside information to make a profit.”
