Expand all | Collapse all

My name is Maureen McArdle. I am a retired NYC firefighter. I worked in East Harlem for nearly 21 years. I want to bring common sense and hard work back to Washington.
  • I believe that all life is precious from before birth to end of life seniors.
  • I believe we need to turn Congress from blue to red to stop these needless impeachment hearings
  • I believe we need a wall to keep out illegal drugs and illegal immigrants
I believe we are over taxed and our hard earned dollars are wasted on programs that do not work. I believe in freedom of speech, even if causes uncomfortableness. I do not believe in safe spaces. I believe that gun laws only take guns from law abiding citizens. I believe that becoming a plumber is just as important as becoming a lawyer and a lot less expensive. I believe our public education system has a very liberal slant since 69% of teacher and administrators lean towards the left. I believe if you agree to sign student loan papers you should be responsible for paying back your loans.
I look up to my mother, she raised 6 children, while my dad worked 2 jobs. My mom Is very smart, she graduated from high school at 16. My mom never had the opportunity to go to college, but from the time I was little she always told me that I was going to college. My mom is sweet and never says a bad word about anyone. Her motto is always " if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all" I wish in my life I could be 1/2 of the smart, sweet generous person she is.
To represent the constituents, not to improve their own financial being
I have a very nice life. I don't need this job. I'm doing this for my 3 grand kids. I want to leave them a country they are proud of. I want them to live in a country where freedom of speech, Ideas and thoughts are paramount. I don't want my grand kids to hide in a safe space. I want them to speak up for themselves and right a wrong, not whine and complain about it.
At 13, I took over my brothers Daily News paper route.
Burying my 21 year old beautiful daughter Kerry Ann. Kerry Ann died of a undiagnosed electrical problem with her heart, called Long QT Syndrome. For more information check out the website......www.stopSADS.org. As a parent you are suppose to care and protect your children no matter how old they are. Kerry Ann died in 2006 and it still haunts me.
The House of Representatives is unique because it represents its districts and the issues that it's district has. Each district has its own problems. It has its own positives and negatives.
Only in the experience in fund raising and knowing all the players.
I believe voters are looking for a non politician, someone who doesn't owe any favors. Someone who will put their constituents first. Someone who is not power hungry, someone who will work for their constituents.
I perceive as the United States biggest challenges in the next 10 years internationally is China, South Korea.

I believe our biggest challenge will be keeping our capitalistic economy protected from socialist faction of the Democratic Party.

I believe we need to educate our children about not just the mistakes the United States, has made in our past, but the miracle that is the best country in the world. How my father left his family at 17 years old, to go fight in a war in Okinawa. Now our college students need safe spaces! What the heck happened?
Budget

Small business
Ways and Means
Oversight and Reform

Appropriations
Unfortunately, these races are multi million dollar races. You spend a lot of time doing fundraising instead of talking to senior citizens and other important people.
The positive aspect is, if you have a bad representative, you can vote them out in 2 years. The bad part is the fund raising is a time stealer every two years.
I believe in term limits. This job was not meant to be a life long career.
