I’m running for Congress because Representative Democracy means our Representatives should represent us!
And that means, they need to be one of us. Two-thirds of the Supreme Court and 25% of the Senate went to schools that just .04% of us could get in to. Over 67% of our Representatives were multi-millionaires before they were elected, yet less than 2% of Americans are.
I have lost faith in most of our so-called experienced elected officials—and so have most voters—because they are out of touch with everyday Americans. They don’t live our lives, they don’t share our values, and they don’t speak with our voice. I know what it’s like to struggle—to face medical bills and student loan debt. I understand the difficulties you face every day, because I face them too.
I recognize the fear and constant worry over global events, national crises, and local issues that we all share. Here in Arizona, we have pressing concerns about water security, and our public schools are under attack. Extremists threaten everything from our voting rights to women’s healthcare rights. The threat posed by outsiders who do not represent our best interests—buying and bullying their way into office—cannot be understated.
We, the People, are being systematically ignored and overruled by political elites and career politicians who do not represent us. It’s time to fight back. It’s time the People had a representative who works for them and speaks with their voice.
I know I can make a difference because I bring a different perspective to the job that needs to be done. My career has provided me with the unique opportunity to travel to every part of this great country, meeting Americans where they live. This means I get a whole-picture view, and I see firsthand the impact of the policies, laws, and decisions that our representatives have on everyday Americans.
Every trip home to Arizona, I listened to local versions of the stories I heard across the country. As I compared my home to other places, I carefully considered solutions I’d seen elsewhere that could work here. I understand what needs to be done because I have seen what has—and has not—worked.
Support a strong, blue-collar voice in Congress. Stand with Bernadette Greene-Placentia for a better future in AZ-8.
