Mikie Sherrill: 我对国会的资历制度和旧的做事方式感到震惊和沮丧。我原以为，凭借我们这些在各自选区取得胜利的新议员的经验，民主党会积极寻求改革。然而，我们却发现，新议员的声音不受尊重，旧的等级制度根深蒂固。我不能接受为了获得委员会主席职位而等待20年，因为我们现在就面临着危机。我认为国会的支持率这么低，就应该改变一些事情。那些在旧模式中建立权力的人不希望改变，即使改变会带来更好的未来。我在海军接受过危机应对训练，所以无法理解为什么国会不改变运作方式来应对危机。我竞选州长是因为我想成为解决方案的导向者，而不是在后座等待。我对民主党未能提出比特朗普更有吸引力的愿景感到愤怒。在联邦层面权力受限的情况下，州一级是实现变革的前线。
