We doubled turnout compared to the last May elections. This was all done with grassroots work, and we will be duplicating it. #

Q #6 As a candidate in a border state, and with all the wall talk, can we ask about your stance on #DACA and immigration as a whole?

Yes. It's pretty simple for me. We are talking about human beings, and any discussion about this must take this into account. 1/

Ending #DACA is immoral and abhorrent. Their lives should not be bargaining chips. 2/

Beyond the humanitarian issues, immigration is a net positive for the country and the economy. 3/

We need to create a pathway to citizenship. #

Q #7 Those #DACA goals may require some bi-partisan teamwork, are you for reaching across the aisle if it's in best interest?

I get asked this question a lot. And I reply: how many of you have a job that requires you to convince people to get a colonoscopy? 1/
