Team, Since I was young, I’ve always been driven to serve my community. My parents taught me that we always have an obligation to give back and take care of those around us. So after graduating from high school, I decided to attend West Point. It was a formative experience — filled with early mornings, late nights, and hard work. It instilled in me what service and sacrifice really means. I still use the things I learned at West Point to this day. In fact, on Day One, you’re taught that there are three acceptable responses when asked a question:
That’s it. You get three responses — yes, no, or no excuse.
In politics, I’ve noticed that it’s easy for folks to make excuses about things they did (or didn’t) accomplish. “This didn’t get done because of X, or Y, or Z.” All the while, our families are left suffering for the price of their inaction. I believe the word “representative” means a lot in elected office. As a representative, you were chosen to represent the community and act in their best interest. But even though so many folks take on this term, we aren’t moving fast enough to tackle urgent issues affecting hardworking families like protecting reproductive rights, getting weapons of war off of our streets, and lowering the cost of everyday items. No more excuses. We need fresh leadership. Unlike my opponent, I’m not a career politician. I’m a former combat veteran, small business owner, and native of our community. As county executive, I’ve gotten tangible results, and after a short time in Congress, I’ve already delivered results for folks in our district. It’s not easy, but I’m not one to give up a fight. I’m running to be a representative in Congress because we need more leaders who can cut through the noise and deliver results, especially right now. I’ve put my life on the line for this country, and I’m going to continue our fight in Washington. So I’m asking: Will you rush in a donation today? If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: Thank you for your continued support. Yours in service, Pat |
