  • "The Seattle police chief says that the defunding of her police department will have bad, long-lasting effects. As your next U.S. Senator, I will never support measures that threaten our great men and women of law enforcement. They risk their lives for us, we should protect them!" (twitter.com)
  • "We must continue to support our members of law enforcement that protect us every day! I am sick of Democrats and D.C. politicians antagonizing the men and women that risk their lives for our safety. As your next U.S. Senator, I will support and defend our policemen." (twitter.com)

  • "The House Democrats’ stimulus bill is headed to the Senate. The bill focuses more on the Democrats’ agenda, than helping workers and businesses. Now is not the time score political points. We need real solutions that put Americans first, not an agenda!" (twitter.com)
  • "While the overall economy will survive this pandemic, small businesses are hurting and facing an unsure future. Congress must act to increase funding for the Paycheck Protection Program to help small business. They are the bedrock of our economy and need help NOW!" (twitter.com)
