Notable Quotes
“We live in a world with adversaries that are always trying to do something. I think that there are several things that we as individual politicians can do. And that’s to be able to get out there and really just speak honestly. We need to be focusing on policy differences, not personality differences. Not accusing people of things that they may or maybe did not do. But just be able to stick to the facts so the American people can consume and make decisions.”
– Congressman Brad Wenstrup, D.P.M.

“I do think the perception question is a critical one. I think it’s going to extend, potentially, to electoral security this year because we have had such attacks on state and local officials. Their sense of their personal safety has been so damaged. They have been doxxed. They have been personally threatened. So, we are seeing across the country a diminished base of experienced state and local electoral officials, which means that we have more newbies in the mix – which means that there’s going to be more mistakes.”
– Kat Duffy, Senior Fellow, Council on Foreign Relations
