Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

I’m running for Congress to END THE LEFT’s LIE that all white people are villains & all brown people are victims. WE ARE ONE COUNTRY. We are ONE NATION under God, indivisible, with liberty & justice for all.We must secure Biden's Broken Borders. Our border crisis is hurting American families through the raising drug epidemic and the heinousness of today's modern-day slavery, human trafficking. Securing our borders is compassionate and Pro-Life.I am Pro-Life, Pro-Jobs, Pro-Faith, Pro-Family, Pro-Police, Pro-Liberty, Pro-Military, and Pro-Constitution

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I'm passionate about ending the Left's lie on race and stopping Critical Race Theory and the 1619 project.

I also care deeply about preserving our Constitutional freedoms including our 2nd Amendment rights and Religious Liberties.

Our very way of life is under attack and I am the only candidate who can stand "toe-to-toe" with Nancy Pelosi and AOC to fight for our values in an authentic and credible way.

Campaign website

Edmonds' campaign website stated the following:

"I will go to Washington stand up to AOC and Nancy Pelosi to end the Left's divisive narrative on race. I will promote a Culture of Life that not only fights to end abortion but also seeks to stop human trafficking and curb the growing drug crisis. The first step is to fix Biden's Broken Border. Our great nation was founded on the fundamental right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. In Congress, I will defend your Constitutional freedoms, no matter what!"

Biden's Border Crisis:

Ruth will work in Washington to stand up to Democrats and Joe Biden to secure our borders and fix Biden's broken border. By doing so, we will blunt human trafficking, stop the spread of the opioid epidemic, and protect life and the quality of life for families for a generation.

Protect Constitutional Freedoms:

Ruth will ensure our government is focused on issues that matter most to Ohioans like keeping taxes low and empowering citizens to forge their own path to pursue Life, Liberty, and Happiness. These are Ruth’s core principles and how she will govern in D.C.

Race Relations in America:

By bringing hard work, accountability, and personal responsibility back to Washington, Ruth will end the Left's lie that all Caucasians are villains and all dark-skinned people are victims. We need a return to Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream that we judge people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. Ruth will be a conservative voice to stop the spread of divisive ideas like Critical Race Theory, the 1619 Project, and Socialism.
