Annette Taddeo:
Father was kidnapped by a Marxist terrorist group
Senator Annette Taddeo has been a fighter all her life. She's had to be. As the daughter of an American WWII fighter pilot who gave her that true fighting spirit--She was taught to always believe and never give up! As a little girl and a teenager,
Annette underwent 19 major surgeries to correct a cleft lip. When she was 17, her father Anthony, was kidnapped by a Marxist terrorist group funded by the Cuban regime. She was forced to flee an unstable Colombia to the United States.

As a former Golden Gloves boxer, I am a fighter
I started working at a pizza shop when I was only 15. I have been a hostess, a waitress, a barista, and worked retail--working two jobs and still struggling to make it financially--an experience far too many
Rhode Islanders still face today. As we take this journey, I will never forget my roots. And as a former Golden Gloves boxer, I am a fighter, and I will be the people of Rhode Island's champion.

Raised with strong faith, no conflict with love for science
As a son of two preachers, I was raised with a strong sense of faith. This faith has never collided with my love for science -- in fact, it only made it grow stronger. I attended Morehouse College on a NASA Scholarship, for physics and math, then
studied at MIT to become a nuclear engineer and earn a Ph.D. in urban planning. I was blessed to run the Arkansas Regional Innovation Hub, which provided the tools and technology Arkansans needed to build businesses and create jobs.

Tim owns his faith in Christ as the foundation of his life. Tim's background in business and his strong family ties have shaped his conservative views on politics. He is universally noted as a solid conservative who stands ready to defend
Alabama against liberal efforts to wage a culture war on the bedrock elements of America's foundation: faith, family, and freedom. Tim's father, Fob James, was a two-term Governor of Alabama.
There is a cultural war brewing and good men and women must engage. The Republican leadership in large part are what we call RINOS (Republicans In Name Only) or Democrats disguised as Republicans.
My primary motivation to enter the race is the constant barrage to turn this nation to something that it is not.

Faith in God first, family second in all policy decisions
We must protect our Judeo-Christian heritage, and if I am privileged to serve as governor, we will keep faith in God first, and family second in all public policy decisions. These beliefs form the foundation on which America was constructed and
undergird our constitutional republic.We will protect the religious liberty of our pastors and churches and will resist any federal order to shut them down, for any reason, as was done in 2020.
Nothing in the First Amendment or any law inhibits the legitimate free exercise of our faith. Prohibiting a high school valedictorian from mentioning the name of God or disallowing a public acknowledgment of God is an affront to the heritage of our
great country where our founders declared in the Declaration of Independence "with firm reliance upon Divine Providence." We may separate the functions of church and state, but never should we divorce government from the truth of Almighty God.
