Fourth and fifth destination is great but its not where we want to be. You identify the problems and try to attack them within the government. Why did you decide to run . Ultimately the odds of being born in the United States 126 plus or minus and the odds of being born in the United States to a twoparent household with some discipline and encouragement, ive been very, very, very lucky. As a prosecutor, i stand across the dias usually from a young man no different from me but had different influences early in life so i feel like from whom much is given or to whom much given, much is expected sort of if i feel like im Holding Strong opinions and am right on issues and can do something to influence the issues to sort of hand that mantel to the quality of opportunity to the young people moving forward i probably would be remiss not for try. So there it is, and youre perpetually humbled in the Fifth District of virginia because jefferson lived there, theres the father of the declaration and then madison was the first congressman so theres the constitution and John Marshall retired there, patrick henry, Barbara Johns started the movement in Prince Edward county in 1952. So great appreciation for the wonderful work done by people like that who preceded those who wanted to perpetuate that for the future. Where did you grow up and what were your influencers . I grew up in loosea county, virginia which ironically enough is in the seventh district. I loved history and studied history in college. My father, the decisions he made, my mom was diagnosed early on in my life with what was thought to be terminal cancer before the internet and my father would stay awake dialing phone number after phone number, the mayo clinic or Johns Hopkins wouldnt take her, u. V. A. Wouldnt take her and my dad doggedly pursued finding a place to treat my mother and she celebrated her 73rd birthday, ironically we lost my dad a few years back but that sort of determination and persistence and then when you decide somethings right, that the right thing to do is x, y, off z, then dam the torpedoes and full speed ahead in doing it. My first cousin ironically i think turned down baseball scholarships to go in the marine corps and people like like that had those opportunities and delayed the opportunities to serve something bigger than themselves, then when i sit in the military and looking around, again, with the women and men with whom i served, anybody who serves, you had brian mast on earlier, i agree really theres something in their lives bigger than them and worth sacrificing for and to be around men and women like that and then when youre having a bad day you think everything in perspective, its not so bad, so those were things that sort of shaped who i am and who i want to be, right . I tell my children its not about who you are but who you want to be. Youre not who you want to be yet but if you are, youre probably ready to go. So if you identify who you want to be and take steps to be that person, you should be able to look in the mirror and be happy. Any piece of advice that stands out to you from your dad over the years that you sort of carry with you . Just, you know, this may not be politically correct but i have no its not that i inherited it from my father, i have no admiration or tolerance for somebody who quits. If what youre doing is right and doing it for the right reasons and you get knocked down, so what . The successful woman or man is the one who has gotten up one more time than theyve been mocked knocked down and my dad was persistent and dogged and tenacious and those are the sorts of things if you think of dr. Martin luther king and what he went through and the people whose names we dont know went through, you just keep coming back and legislatively in the statehouse of virginia, we did that with some bills where i knew what was going to happen but we moved the ball further each time around and thats a good character straight. What will you be dogged about here in washington . We ran on a student security sort of proposal that would allow young people with Student Loan Debt to choose to defer to receive Social Security benefits to exchange forgiveness of Student Loan Debt and would make our Social Security promise to our seniors solvent for perpetuity and allow young people if they chose to and only if they chose to, to help erase some of that Student Loan Debt. Its a winner all around because youve taken an entire generation out of the producing class, you dont start a Small Business if youve got Student Loan Debt and you dont buy a car or get married to paraphrase mrs. Clinton, you dont move out of moms basement and dont mean it in a pejorative sense and that innovative thinking, im looking forward to have the opportunity to fight people across party lines. It doesnt make anybody do anything, right . You choose to enter the program. It doesnt change the benefits my mother receives, which you dont break that promise you made yesterday, you change maybe the setup for tomorrow but that sort of thing, to know when its over with we made a mark and moved the needle. Nobodys going to remember me but theyll remember what we did while we were here and thats made yesterday, you change maybe what matters. Appreciate your time. The new Congress Starts tuesday.
