Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I’m Claire Wirth, and I’m a Builder. Like President Trump, I’ve built a real estate empire. Now, I’m fighting back against career politicians who are running this nation into the ground. It’s time we finally drain the D.C. swamp. The radical left has hijacked America, and unprincipled RINO Republicans are standing by and letting it happen. We cannot keep sending weak leaders to Washington. I’m running for Congress because my children – and all future generations of Americans – deserve a nation rooted in freedom, opportunity, and conservative principles.

Our nation has reached a critical moment, and I can no longer sit on the sidelines. I’m a Christian, a builder, a conservative activist, and now I’m fighting to take down the DC Swamp and champion conservative policy in Congress. My goal is simple: Build up our nation, and tear down the radical left.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Illegal Immigration - We must build the wall and support border patrol agents. Otherwise, every state is a border state.
• Second Amendment - We must stop the radical left's incremental gains on our God given liberty to self-defense.
• Term Limits - In order to support a healthy Republic, we must implement term limits. We cannot keep sending the same career politicians to D.C. and expecting a different result. No more lip service.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Election Integrity, Illegal Immigration, Second Amendment, Term Limits, Fiscal Responsibility, Pro-Life, No New Taxes.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

I have signed a pledge with US Term Limits which is critical to restoring our Republic. Below is a link:
