Published | Video Starts at 50:16

I'm running for Congress. And my main opponent in this race right now is a do nothing Congress. You know, We have the legislative branch of our government that's called out in Article 1 of the Constitution that has a long list of jobs to do, including funding the government, including foreign policy, including whether or not, we go to war, including what our tariff policy ought to be. They've ceded almost all of that to this administration in the last year. They got to stand up, grow a spine, and go back and do the job that the founders of this country created for Congress to do.
