The Race for District 3: Joe Kent

So post Dobbs decision, post the Roe vs Wade decision being overturned and that very, very divisive issue being put back with the states, I fully support that. I'm running for a federal office. I don't think the federal government has any place legally to regulate abortion. That's back with the states. That's where it belongs. Anytime we can move power away from Washington, D.C. back into the hands of the states, I think we're moving in the right direction. (19:09–19:16)
