Most are a little left of center, a little right of center
[On political philosophy] "I think there's a misperception that if you're not extreme, you're not standing up for things," she said. "The way that we consume [media] now, it drives these people who are the flamethrowers, who are going to say the most
outlandish things, who can speak to one constituency." She added, "Most of us live somewhere a little left of center, a little right of center."

My faith has always been something more personal to me
The public demonstration of her faith marked a transformation of sorts for Horn, a 42-year-old native Oklahoman who grew up Southern Baptist but said she fell in love with the Episcopal Church's "combination of intellect and liturgy" as an adult. "My
faith has always been something more personal to me, so it has been an interesting journey working on sharing that and my expression of it," Horn said in an interview with Religion News Service before the prayer service.

Voted to condemn Trump's racist tweets at minority members
The U.S. House of Representatives voted to condemn President Trump's "racist" tweets about four Democratic lawmakers of color. Oklahoma Democrat Kendra Horn joined her colleagues in condemning him. Horn posted on Facebook following her vote, saying she
is "troubled by the remarks of the President," which she described as below the office of the Presidency.[OTI editorial note citing KTUL from 7/15/19: Trump had said that four progressive Democratic congresswomen should "go back and help fix the
totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Trump declined to identify which members he was talking about in his Sunday morning tweets, other than Rep. Ilhan Omar, but he appeared to be referring to the freshman Democrats known
as "the Squad": Omar, D-Minn., Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., announced the House would vote on a resolution denouncing Trump's tweets."

Women legislators more likely to reach across the aisle
Horn said, "We make demands of female candidates that we don't of male candidates.""Women are required to prove they are qualified, and men are presumed to be qualified. Women have to show their leadership ability."
"When they are serving in an
elected office, there is a lot evidence, [that] they are more likely to reach across the aisle," Horn said. "They get more legislation passed. They are more likely to work collaboratively. They are extremely great legislators."

I fundamentally believe in public service
"Why I am running is because I feel like there are more things that unite us than divide us," Horn told Oklahoma Gazette. "We need representation that is going to rise above partisan politics and the divisiveness in the current conversation.
I fundamentally believe in public service. It's what calls to me. It's one of the reasons I've done all that I've done. When looking at this seat and this state and knowing the needs, it's time for somebody to stand up."
