Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

I've met so many wonderful people out door knocking and have been able to hear many thoughts and have prayed with many as well. I "just happened" to be at the door of a family who just heard the news that their husband had been found after 5 months. It was very emotional. Unfortunately, the common theme I've heard is that the current Representative doesn't respond or engage.

The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?
