- "The recent Infrastructure bill of $1.2T is far too expensive and too little return on investment for the majority of people. We need to focus on making sure the people can get to and from their destinations, and truckers can move goods and services, as quickly and safely as possible. Proper investments into new infrastructure like a 3rd bridge in Southwest Washington between WA and OR to significantly reduce commute times is the direction we need to be moving. Maintenance and operations on existing interstates also need to be addressed. We need to stop diverting funding into transit, especially in areas where there isnt a true demand or ridership level for it. Its time to get back to a truly strong transportation infrastructure system that benefits most people, who drive their vehicles on highways in Southwest Washington and across our nation."

- "Education used to be about teaching kids knowledge to provide a strong foundation so they could graduate and be ready to pursue higher education, a career, or open their own business and truly succeed. Recently weve increasingly seen how our K-12 schools now focus on teaching kids what to think. And many times, this is not in line with the values parents have for their students. We need to return real power to the local level and most of all to parents." (vickikraft.com)
- "We have all the resources we need; we just have to be able to access them and the climate change narrative needs to be replaced with the truth.
