What they’re saying

“I believe that most people are very good people. I believe that we have been deliberately divided... People need to understand that politicians don't care about us as individuals.”

— Nancy Ebbert

“I'm a person who believes in the public good. And that includes services for people who are struggling. The public good includes not starting wars that don't serve the safety of the public, and it seems like the Iran war does the opposite of that.”

— Stephen Snell

“The Constitution itself makes our treaties binding federal law and that needs to be respected. He says he's against immigrants, but everybody here is an immigrant here except native people.”

— Shay Jimerson

“I am tired of higher inflation, higher gas prices, grocery prices, higher unemployment. I think that the Republicans and Trump are just letting us down.”

— Steve Jones

“I've still been flipped off a few times, but we've been met with a lot of honks and waves, and it feels lighter and more agreeable than normal. I still want to see more people out here, and I'm still looking for moderate Republicans to stand up with us.”

— Amy Skinner
