Actually, that is not quite the right question to ask.
The right questions to ask are:
- Where does your district stand politically?
- Are you faithfully representing the views of all your constituents to the
best of your ability?
Where Do You Stand Politically?
What we Are Looking For
People who will put their own views aside (as much as one humanly can) to faithfully represent their constituents’ views. For instance, if you are a person whose personal views on abortion are strict, but you are from a Liberal district (say, in a traditionally “Blue” state) where the prevailing view is pro-choice (or vice-versa), can you faithfully represent the views of your district in Congress?
What we are decidedly not looking for are people who have an agenda that runs counter to the prevailing views in the district. No trying to “shoehorn” in someone of a particular political stripe; we have enough of that: Democrats and Republicans do that.
Our Goal
To have a set of representatives from all over the country who take their districts’ issues to Congress or the State House — but who are committed to working together with others of different views to create – and get to done – strong, resilient solutions.
