Campaign themes
2016
Vance issued the following statement regarding his bid for office:
| “ | "My political philosophy is ""Do the most good, for the most people"
I decided to run after listening to my neighbors and community members share what they want from their representative in congress. I looked within myself to see if I could meet the things that they are looking for and decided that I could, that I had to at the very least give the people another option, another voice. [4] |
