“Babysitting, starting in 6th grade and did it all through college. I loved it and the kids so much!”
(Candidate statement) “I've met so many wonderful people out door knocking and have been able to hear many thoughts and have prayed with many as well. I "just happened" to be at the door of a family who just heard the news that their husband had been found after 5 months. It was very emotional. Unfortunately, the common theme I've heard is that the current Representative doesn't respond or engage.”
