I've had a rough childhood, but it has not made me weak. You know, my opponent's pack is called Victors Not Victims. My opponent literally featured in one of his ads, a known pedophile that was in jail for eight years, just recently, and has made no positive statement about the Epstein files. I've been on the road now, and people are hearing my story, but my story, I'm not ever the only one who's been through a thing or two in their childhood. Half our kids are living in poverty in my state up to 70 % in some pockets. While these folks are capitalizing and enriching things for themselves, the people of my state are going backwards on every single measure. And that's why I'm here. My childhood did not make me weak.
