- Properly funded, accountable and supported policing
- US production of energy and reducing inflation.
He sought out those that needed him the most. He never took the easy way out. He demonstrated through his actions what it meant to be a true servant of the people. Those are the traits I will use as a US Congressman serving the the people.
Even though it is sometimes hard to read through it and understand everything. There is always a good message or lesson to be learned. And even after you read it you can go back and pull out messages and really have a great discussion to learn more in depth about the meaning..
He is always looking at the bright side and wakes up everyday with a positive outlook.
It is a song about having hope, to trust in the Lord. Having the ability to overcome the feeling of disparity, of not being good enough.
No matter how desperate things are there is hope. We can change the direction of our lives. We are not alone.
I want to be a beacon of hope for others, to provide hope in a time of darkness.

Mann's campaign website stated the following:

POLICING We all see what happens when you DEFUND the Police, change bail laws and have DA’s that refuse to prosecute the law breakers. It is my mission to reverse all those community destroying actions. In Portland alone there has been a 200% increase in shootings and homicides. Car thefts, and catalytic convertors are the norm. We cannot let the radical agendas make our city an unsafe place to live and work. Our police have saved countless amounts of lives. With over twenty-five million public interactions a year they have served with honor and should be commended for the work they do. I will see to it that they have the funds and support they need to continue the great work they do, and all the funds for the training they require.
Parents should decide what their children are taught in school, as well as choosing the school their children attend. No longer should the unions and school boards decide what our children need. Test scores and graduations are at an all-time low. Yet the radicals think that teaching children as early as 6 years about gender identity is the right time and place. Some districts think it is okay offer children hormone blockers without the parents’ knowledge. Neither those or the inaccurate and damaging propaganda of CRT is something that is taught in schools. The job of the schools is reading, writing, and Math, the very subjects Oregon decided weren’t necessary to graduate. Elementary school is a time children learn social skills not crazy radical brainwashing.
Under this administration our country has become increasingly unsafe. More than 4 million people have entered our country. More than 1 million snuck in without documentation, some of those are on the International Terrorist list. Fentanyl has killed more than 140,000 people, and it is still pouring across the border. Sex trafficking and organ harvesting is at an all-time high. I will lead the change to close the border and put a stop to those egregious crimes. Meanwhile those that have worked hard to become citizens often get lost in an antiquated, and outdated immigration system.
No longer do we have a government that puts the people first. Long term politicians are only concerned with 3 things. Get elected, stay elected, and not cross the part lines. We need term limits to rid the corrupt self-serving people in office. How can someone vote 100% of the time with the speaker of the house, but still claim to be serving the people. My message is clear, as your congressman I will not sit back and be a fundraiser. I will work tirelessly for the people. My performance will win favor with the people, and it will be them that re-elects me. As a Christian there are countless stories of what is means to be a true servant of the people. This is not about me, but about you, the taxpaying people of this country.[2] |
