Key Messages

---

Our democracy is under attack. This administration and the elected officials who support it have shown they are completely fine with an authoritarian style takeover of our government. I intend to stand up to this and do whatever I can to stop it.

---

Our current representative doesn’t work for the people. He works for Donald Trump. I intend to be the 5th district’s representative to Washington, not represent Washington to the 5th district.

---

Republicans are lazy. They don’t lead, they follow. They don’t work for the average person, they work for corporate masters and large donors. That’s not democracy and that’s not leadership. Republicans are more interested in doing the easy job of cutting taxes for the wealthiest and most powerful, but making the working class carry the burden of government. The hard work of democracy means you meet with constituents, you challenge the status quo, and you build coalitions for changing the future. Working for people means fixing the immigration system- not violating people’s rights and shipping them to concentration camps. I’m going to Washington to work.

Candice Duvieilh

Party: Democratic Party

Incumbent: No

Political Office: None

Submitted Biography:  "Growing up Candice’s passion for community led her to sneak extra snacks into her fourth grade lunchbox and share them with classmates, an early lesson in fairness that still guides her today. From high school to a BA in Public Policy, a Master’s in Public Administration and a doctorate in Education, she has dedicated her life to championing quality education, accessible healthcare and economic opportunity for every family.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Jeremy Devito (D)

Defending the constitution, codifying and guaranteeing equity under the law, and using government to lift people up-not put them down.

Candice Duvieilh (D)

Candice is passionate about education, small business support, and parental support.

Education is the foundation on which everyone and everything is built and we need to make sure every child is receiving quality education from head start to graduation and beyond.

Candice is the daughter of a small concrete and steel contractor and knows the feast or famine lifestyle that comes with small business ownership all too well. Small businesses live and die by the policies put in place by our federal government.

As a mother, Candice knows that finding affordable, quality, childcare is a cornerstone of building a family. We are the village and we have to take care of everyone in it.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Jeremy Devito (D)

Currently- I admire Bernie Sanders. For so many different reasons. It’s very apparent to me that Bernie has dedicated his life to serving this country and the average person.

I have a deep respect for Dr. Martin Luther King and how he was able to transform this country despite the incredible opposition and evil he endured.

These are two of many historical figures that I think of when seeking inspiration or guidance on how to navigate life’s most difficult moments.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

Jeremy Devito (D)

The list of influences that make me who I am at my core is ever growing. My current read is “A People’s History of the United States” and it’s providing a unique perspective on the history of our country. My political philosophy is centered on harm reduction. Meaning, I believe government action should be founded in understanding how its actions, laws, and decisions will negatively impact and create real harm in communities or the world.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Jeremy Devito (D)

Integrity, accountability, and moral courage.

Candice Duvieilh (D)

Elected officials have to be present in the districts they represent. They should be living the experiences of their constituents and taking those experiences, stories, and insights into every policy vote or discussion they are having. Representatives should be present, available, responsive, and honest.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Jeremy Devito (D)

Without a doubt, my integrity. I’m willing to stand up for what I believe in and admit when I don’t know or have made a mistake.

Candice Duvieilh (D)

I have 15 years of public sector and non-profit experience. I have been an educator in our k12 school system, built a successful small business, and advised multiple municipalities on proper spending and auditing. I hold a BA in Public Policy, a Master's of Public Administration, and a Doctorate in Education Administration. Government is not just something I have experience with; it is something I have a passion for and I will use all of my knowledge and lived experience to represent the people.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Jeremy Devito (D)

Represent the people to the government, enact or support legislation that benefits or reduces harm to the people, and influence others to do the same.

Candice Duvieilh (D)

The core responsibility of a federal representative is to analyze policy and funding negotiations to determine how they will impact the constituents in their district and vote accordingly. This will look different for different types of policy and negotiations. Representatives have a responsibility to the public to be transparent, honest, and responsive.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Jeremy Devito (D)

I aim to leave this world better than when I came into it. Whether that’s through politics, family, art, or caring for nature and our fellow man- that’s how I hope I’m remembered.

Candice Duvieilh (D)

I want to leave the world better than I found it. Creating a world where my child, and every child like her, can thrive rather than just survive is my number 1 goal.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Jeremy Devito (D)

First historical event I remember was the when the TMNT movie came out! I remember how obsessed I was with the ninja turtles and waiting in line to see the film. I also remember the Desert Storm invasion…even though I was so young at the time- I lived in a military town. It was all anyone talked about. I still remember the trading cards I had.

Candice Duvieilh (D)

The first historical event I remember vividly is 9-11. I was in 7th grade and I remember kids being checked out of school at such a rapid pace that the front office stopped calling for them in their individual classrooms and started doing all-calls across the school. I knew something wasn't right but the teachers would not tell us what was happening. Then, when I got on the bus to leave school, the driver said, "they're flying planes into buildings!" No context. No extra information. No hint at who "they" were. Just crazy ramblings of a man who wore the same "sit down and shut up t-shirt" everyday. I got home and my mom was glued to the television and that was when I saw it. The destruction. The smoke. The fear. The confusion. It was a very solemn day and I carry it with me.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Jeremy Devito (D)

Electrician. I was 15 working with my dad during the summer.

Candice Duvieilh (D)

My dad is a small concrete and steel contractor and I spent summers on his job sites and evenings helping my mom prepare tax forms and bid packets. I was trained to answer the phone, "Larry Dollar Construction," from a very young age. I have been doing that as long as I can remember. My first w-2 job was as a clerk and local video rental store.

What is your favorite book? Why?

Jeremy Devito (D)

I’ve read Crime and Punishment 3x. I love the way Dostoyevsky writes the characters, the time period it’s set in, the topic of morality, and how incredibly naive Raskolnikov is to think he could murder someone in could blood and not feel guilt or remorse.

Candice Duvieilh (D)

I don't have a favorite book but I always opt for informational texts. I am a lifelong learner and I like learning new things.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

Candice Duvieilh (D)

I cross between Leslie Knope and Elizabeth McCord.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Candice Duvieilh (D)

Karma by Taylor Swift

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Jeremy Devito (D)

One of the things I’ve wrestled with throughout my life is understanding how people can carry hatred in their hearts toward other-especially when it’s based on things like race, religion, or who someone loves.

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

Jeremy Devito (D)

It’s the largest body and the seat is only 2 years. For me, this is the most democratic representation as it’s based on population. This requires - courage. Courage of your convictions, moral courage, and real courage to stand up a d speak out in the face of opposition- no matter the size or the popularity of the message.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

Jeremy Devito (D)

I think at one time, that would be a good requirement to have. In 2025, with the shape of our government and the sentiment of the average voter and their belief in what Congress represents- I’d say it’s important but not the MOST important quality. I believe some folks would say it’s maybe disqualifying at this point.

Candice Duvieilh (D)

I believe it is necessary for our representatives to have a working knowledge of the office they are taking on. As someone who has a policy and public administration background and a working knowledge of government accounting, I bring expertise to the table that will benefit my constituents. Congress was always meant to be representative of the people as a whole and having 435 members with the same area of expertise or background will benefit very few people. Congress should be a diverse body full of people from all walks of life.

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Jeremy Devito (D)

The fall of our democracy into fascism is the clear challenge he we are facing. This isn’t hyperbole. The Supreme Court has granted presidents immunity and our current administration is behaving as a king. This has to be stopped.

If we can stop this, the work of protecting people from government hostility is where I’d focus next. Namely, codifying civil rights, protecting and expanding voting access, and reshaping government to be more representative.

Campaign finance reform, limiting stock investments from Congress, and diminishing the role of money in politics is critical to this country as well. Overturning Citizens United would strike a major blow.

Let’s not forget about climate change. Using the government to reduce and urgently prevent the dramatic and accelerated effects of greenhouse gas, plastic waste, and protect our future before it’s too late are KEY to success- not only for America, but the world.

Candice Duvieilh (D)

The United States is at a turning point in history and our greatest challenge moving forward will be rebuilding what has been lost in a way that benefits as many people as possible.

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Jeremy Devito (D)

Yes. Because populations change and sentiment changes. This allows for quicker adjustments and higher levels of accountability.

Candice Duvieilh (D)

I do. I think 2 years is enough time for constituents to determine if a representative is effective and accountable. While running for office year after year is a daunting task, the voters deserve to have a say in evaluating their representative's performance and acting accordingly.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Jeremy Devito (D)

Term limits is a reasonable response to unreasonable government. It’s a solution for a problem that people often express as the reason Washington is broken.

In my view though, the best way to limit someone’s term is to vote them out. And I believe the root problem is voting access. Systemically restricting how, when, and where citizens can vote impacts a lot about how long a person can serve and that’s why lifers in Washington consistently support voting restrictions- it keeps them in power.

In short- if the people want term limits, I’d support that. But I’d start with expanding voting rights and access to determine that.

Candice Duvieilh (D)

Term limits should be implemented to safeguard our nation and make sure power does not remain concentrated with one individual for too long.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Jeremy Devito (D)

Currently I am inspired by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes and Jasmine Crockett. They are unapologetic about their views and how they respond to disingenuous politicians is what inspires me to run.

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?

Jeremy Devito (D)

Since the 2024 election, I’ve been very involved within the district. I even coordinated a town hall within the district to hear directly from the people. The most common theme was: we are in a crisis mode of government. Our democracy is falling apart and our elected leaders aren’t capable or willing to stand up. That’s why I’m running.

Tell us your favorite joke.

Candice Duvieilh (D)

I can't think of a specific one but I love a good call back to humorous moment's passed or a play on words. "Lemon on a pear" instead of "Living on a prayer." Things like that.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Jeremy Devito (D)

In a lot of cases, yes. If you want to compromise it should be on spending and how to use government- that’s leadership. I draw the line on compromises involving human rights or how the constitution functions. There can be no substitute for human rights and the defense of democracy.

Candice Duvieilh (D)

Compromise is a key component of negotiations but it has to have boundaries. It is necessary within the bounds of one's ethical standards.

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?

Jeremy Devito (D)

It’s no secret that government spending is out of control. This is actually exacerbated by the current administration and their complete willingness to give further tax cuts to the wealthiest people and make the average person foot the bill.

My goal is to balance the budget by joining other Progressives. Progressives understand the impact of government spending, how to find waste, and how to spend responsibly.

Republicans only tokenize wasteful spending but they can’t make a cohesive plan to fund the government without ballooning the debt.

Candice Duvieilh (D)

Federal revenue mostly comes from income tax. Finding other means of bringing in funding without further draining working class families will be a priority of mine while in office.

How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers?

Jeremy Devito (D)

Through ethics and accountability hearings. Through investigations based on whistleblowers and evidence.

Candice Duvieilh (D)

The US House should use its investigative powers to protect the people of the United States. Some corporations and public officials have reached a level of unbridled power that is decimating working class families with things like, predatory lending, unethical banking fees, and public manipulation. Congress has a responsibility to investigate these entities/individuals and make sure that the people are not being taken advantage of.

What committees interest you?

Jeremy Devito (D)

House Judiciary, House Oversight and Accountability, House Committee on Education and the Workforce, House Armed Services, House Science, Space, and Technology.

Candice Duvieilh (D)

Appropriations: As a government accounting expert, I am uniquely positioned to be a part of these conversations and make sure our tax dollars are appropriated properly.

Education and Workforce: As an advocate for quality education and workforce development, I would like an opportunity to represent the people in this arena.

Small Business: Small businesses are currently struggling under the weight of administrative costs that their larger competitors are in a better position to withstand. This is a problem that won't be fixed unless working class people get involved in those conversations.

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Jeremy Devito (D)

Absolutely I believe in financial transparency and government accountability. This is why I listed it as a core principal.

Candice Duvieilh (D)

Transparency and accountability are imperative to the representative-constituent relationship. Representatives have a responsibility to be transparent and they should answer for their votes and actions while holding office. Representing people is a big responsibility and our elected officials actions and words should make it clear that they understand that.
