Barry Moore:
Lives by Faith, Family, Finance and Freedom
Faith, Family, Finance and Freedom are the fundamentals that guide all aspects of Barry's life. In all decisions as a legislator, Barry measured the consequences of any bill on these four fundamentals.
It's a system that served him well and won him the distinction as a dependable, conservative vote in Montgomery. He will take the same fundamentals to Washington D.C.

Ben McAdams:
Member of the bipartisan Problem Solvers caucus
I belong to an organization called the Problem Solvers. To join the Problem Solvers, you have to link up with somebody from the other party and join together. So, it's kept an equal number. Right now we have 24 Democrats and 24 Republicans, and
we meet weekly at the least. We have a formal meeting once a week, and those spur a lot of informal meetings outside of that. It has been probably the most productive time I've spent in Congress, working with the Problem Solvers.

No to Jan 6 riot commission as unfair to Trump
Rep. Greg Pence on Wednesday said he would vote against a bill to create a bipartisan commission to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, in which some of the rioters called for his brother, then-Vice President Mike Pence, to be executed.
Pence called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi a "hanging judge" and said the commission would be a "pre-determined political execution" of former President Donald Trump in a statement to Forbes.

Jerry Carl:
Dems and Republicans can work together to solve problems
Carl said that he represents a "red meat district," so protecting gun rights and pushing pro-life legislation will be at the top of his agenda. He also said his constituents want lower taxes and a smaller government. But Carl also said he's excited to
work with both Republicans and Democrats to craft legislation. "I found out they're not the bogeyman. They're actually normal people just like myself. A little different views on some things, but it's nothing we couldn't work through."

Ken Buck:
OpEd: Pressured party official to falsify election results
Buck pressured a local party official to submit incorrect election results to set the primary ballot for a state Senate seat, according to an audio recording of a conference call obtained by The Denver Post. [Buck ] "is trying to bully a volunteer into
committing a crime," says Eli Bremer, the GOP chairman for state Senate District 10. Buck says he was merely asking Bremer to abide by a committee decision.About 200 [GOP committee members participated] on an April 17 conference call in which the
group voted to place candidate Stiver on the ballot for the seat, even though he failed to receive 30% of the district's votes. After the vote, Buck asked Bremer whether he would comply with the committee's decision:
"Do you understand the order of
the central committee that you will submit the paperwork to include Mr. Stiver on the ballot?" Buck said.
"Yes, sir, I understand the central committee has adopted a resolution that requires me to sign a false affidavit to the state," Bremer replied.

Lance Harris:
Parents instilled strong Christian faith
My parents were Southern Baptist medical missionaries who were arrested in communist China for their Christian beliefs. I lost my mother and father in a car crash during my college years. It was a very dark time in my life, but I was able to make
it through that time and make something of my life because of my strong Christian faith instilled in me by my parents at a young age and the lessons they taught me. My faith is still at the center of my life and guides the decisions I make every day.

Ruben Gallego:
Changed name in 2008 to add mother's surname
An opponent's supporter challenged Gallego's nominating petitions for not using his legal name. The suit was withdrawn when Gallego explained had changed his name in 2008 from Ruben Marinelarena (his father's name),
to Ruben Marinelarena Gallego to honor the mother who raised him. He combined social media presence with aggressive door-to-door campaigning, and out-raised his opponent by $300,000.

Teresa Leger Fernandez:
Need an economy that is equitable for all
We have an obligation to promote economic growth and stability, and address unjust income inequality. As a member of the U.S. House Committee on Education and Labor, I will work to protect families, students, and workers from stagnant wages.
This committee touches so much of what we need in New Mexico and across our country: a $15 minimum wage, student debt reform, early childhood education, workforce development, strong worker and labor protections, and health care for all.

Pro life, pro ag, pro gun, pro Trump

Washington to advocate for agriculture and our basic Kansas conservative values. I have 4 small children and I know that the fight is worth it for them.

Yvette Herrell:
It's time we get God back in the conversation
I grew up in a Christian home and my relationship with God has given me the ability to develop a moral compass and convictions that have provided me the strength, knowledge and courage to live unashamedly for God. Whether making personal decisions
or casting a vote, I am grateful that each decision is given prayerful consideration and in a context that is morally sound and biblically based. As I have said repeatedly during this campaign, "It's time we get God back in the conversation."

Yvette Herrell:
There is no constitutional separation of church and state
There is no constitutional separation of church and state, and the establishment clause in the 1st Amendment was intended to protect the church from the influence or control of the government. Any honest reading of the Constitution,
Declaration of Independence, and other writings of the Founders serves to clearly demonstrate that they sought divine inspiration in establishing this nation and recognized their and our dependence on God.

I am a biblical and constitutional conservative
I am a biblical conservative and a constitutional conservative. I believe strongly in the Judeo-Christian principles upon which our nation was founded, and my Christian faith and biblical worldview serve to direct me on a daily basis.
I believe strongly in a strict originalist interpretation of the Constitution, and that we must diligently seek to adhere to the intent of our Founders regarding the scope of powers and actions of the federal government.
