See this? That's me on January 6:

As a Marine Corps veteran, I never imagined having to use my training to protect myself and my colleagues on the House floor.
I never imagined teaching my House colleagues how to put on a gas mask and regulate their breathing.
I never imagined I’d be helping frightened colleagues move to safety as insurrectionists started streaming into the Capitol.
I never imagined I’d stay behind after the Capitol security came in to do one more sweep for colleagues who might have frozen and gone to cocoon somewhere hard to find.
I never imagined I would ever have to teach my staff how to knock on the door of our office a certain way to signal it was them and not some attacker — something we did in the Marine Corps when surrounded by insurgents and you didn’t know who was good and who was bad.
And I never imagined I’d have to text members of the House and urge them not to get on buses ready to evacuate us from the Capitol because if we left we’d lose the building to the coup.
Maybe it is the Marine in me, but I will always fight for our democracy. I'd have done it in the Capitol that day -- and I will fight as hard as I can to win this race and keep GOP election-deniers out of the Senate.
Nothing less than our democracy is at stake in this election. If Republicans win Arizona, they win the presidency and they take control of the Senate. We can't let that happen, and I can't do it without you. [[link removed]]

And as someone who joined the United States Marine Corps to defend this country and protect our democracy, you can always count on me to be on the front lines of this battle.
