Media interviewTemple stated the following in an interview with ABC News:Meet Elizabeth TempleI was born in Smithfield, North Carolina and lived in North Carolina all of my life. I am 55 years old. I have three nieces who play sports, Lily, Ahnala, and Willow Temple. I am a certified K-12 teacher at NCDPI.Why are you running for office?I chose to run for this particular office because only at the U.S. Senate can one really make much of a difference in my view. I also wanted to do what I could to help the GOP as a whole.I am running to:Address significant issues such as wealth inequality though continued Capitalism, not Socialism or Communism, and address homelessness.Focus on legislation to address risks posed by Al (Artificial Intelligence) in the areas of robotic soldiers in warfare, massive job dislocation, and unprecedented wealth and income concentration for the few that will decrease the standard of living for average Americans.Engage in discussions on Al and make a legislative impact with bipartisan efforts to address the challenges and opportunities of Artificial Intelligence on society as a whole, including the companionship of Al rather than fellow human beings and how it might affect the birth rate and nuclear families.Develop clear messaging like President Trump has and leadership qualities in the youth of the next generation, in order to preserve the nation as in its founding documents and save the U.S. Constitution while promoting prosperity for black Americans over further immigration.Make it a requirement that all elected officials in the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, as well as Mayors, be born in the city, town, state, and country that they represent and to pledge that they will strive to promote legal immigration and closed borders, in order to preserve our history and culture of the United States of America.Prepare for the 20% unemployment increase due to Al over the next one to five years and protect children, animals, and the elderly and note the lack of concern for loss of life with robotic soldiers, and how this could impact our freedom and sovereignty as a nation. (There is far too little discussion in Congress on this issue of Al and Robotics, and I will be a willing participant on this matter, as "Work will become optional and money irrelevant," according to Elon Musk.How are you uniquely qualified to address these issues?I am uniquely qualified due to my over ten years of experience working for the Republican party as a volunteer and attending events, learning and reading about politics and have worked with many people over the years.The best advice is:To enjoy life!— Elizabeth Anne Temple in ABC News interview (February 12, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.
