She is fighting for credible and effective defenses to protect our homes and our jobs. Michelle believes in common sense, in putting Lincoln County first, and in faithfully representing workers, traditional families, and rural America.” (Michelle Bianco campaign website)

I have an old logging skid on my land, and I placed a game camera there. Turns out wildlife love them! It’s a highway well-traveled.” (Michelle Bianco campaign website)
