It may seem like a strange technicality of our electoral laws, but my campaign has been one built on Integrity and I am determined to continue that ethos and remain open about this issue,” she said. Contest this policy on a plan for a better future, that’s what we’re trying to do. I think it speaks volumes, frankly, and with respect of your approach to this job, and to this economy, and to the future of this country, that when you’re given an opportunity to ask one question of your opponent, you ask a question about the 2019 election. So, what do they think their opponent would do? We’re working to restore it.
