“I work with my hands for less than $30 an hour. I fix systems, meet deadlines, and have met a payroll while leading a manufacturing company through Chapter 11. I know what it costs to keep a family going when the rules and the costs keep shifting.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
“My opponent comes from a world of high-end law firms and big clients. I come from the shop floor.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
“I believe in “vending-machine capitalism” — clear, fixed prices and rules that treat every person the same. No special deals. No exploitation of vulnerable labor. No backdoor systems that reward the connected while working families pay the bill.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
