Instead of speaking about defunding the police, we should be advocating ways to create partnerships and promoting connectivity between communities and police officers.

I myself spent some time in prison, so I know the type of trajectory that a criminal offense can put on someone's life.

I turned my life around. I have completely redeemed my life.

People are going to be able to appreciate the reality in politics, and that is what I represent.

I'm very concerned about the whole LGBTQ movement and the way it sexualizes children.

I think Black women should come together.

I'm walking proof that second chances work. I want to help others get the same opportunities I've been given.

I came home to four children, and I came home to two tombstones. My mother was in one and my grandmother was in the other. They'd both passed away while I was in prison.

Everyone doesn't need Medicare. The people who can afford to pay for their healthcare should pay.

I'm proud to stand with U.S. Impact Team in their initiative to create harmony.

I do believe that voter fraud has taken place.

I am a strong believer in the sanctity of life. It's time that someone stands up for the lives of the unborn.

The LGBTQ community refers to people's sexual preferences - lesbians like women, gay people like men - and children shouldn't be walking advertisements for sexuality when they are not old enough to make their own decisions.

I want to ensure that the people of the 5th District continue to benefit from the sensible economic policies under the leadership of President Donald Trump. Because of our President, more African Americans are employed now than ever before in the history of our country.

I credit President Trump for being my inspiration.

It's kind of hurtful people associate Republican with being racist and the last thing I want from the very people I am fighting for.

Every time you hear that the majority of Democratic candidates go on stage, they say poor women of color need access to abortion. I was born to a poor woman of color. I was a poor woman of color when I gave birth to my children. Who's to say that their lives are worth any less than others?

John Lewis' vital role in the civil rights movement will never be forgotten, and his legacy will forever be acknowledged by our state and our country.

It is critical that we double down on the progress that President Trump has made with regard to Criminal Justice Reform. His focus on reforming our broken criminal system is geared towards improving the lives of minority families across the district, state, and country.

My priorities are always the children and the elderly when it comes to our healthcare system, as both groups are unable to help themselves.
