The recent unconstitutional war taken by the current administration is reckless at best and dangerous at worst. Putting service members in harm’s way should be taken with the gravest of consequences in mind. Unconstitutional consequences are as serious as the results they cause.
β€œThis is not Iraq” says the same people that have lied to the American people since day one. Healthcare costs have skyrocketed, grocery prices are out of control, and now gas prices are next. Forgive me if I don’t believe you. Forgive me if western North Carolina doesn’t believe you, because we don’t. Furthermore, we still have elected officials who haven’t even issued a statement condemning these actions. We still have candidates who are silent. Candidates need to be able to answer tough and fair questions from voters. Every single voter should know where each candidate definitively stands on issues. In my opinion, if you can’t stand against actions like this, then you have no business running for office...

The β€œNo New Wars” president just started another war, illegally, without congressional approval. FULL STOP.
He bombed children, put American lives one the line, and further eroded our international reputation. This kind of behavior will not stand when I’m in Congress.

Conglomerates don't know the value of a dollar, but the working class does. Every day is a painful reminder.

NC-11 Democrats rebuke DCCC over early support for Ager β€’ NC Newsline The DCCC added Jamie Ager to its "Red to Blue” program during early voting in the 2026 primary, angering rivals for the Democratic nomination in North Carolina's 11th Congressional District.

Before a single ballot was recorded, Washington insiders told western North Carolina to sit down and shut up. The establishment made this decision without even asking you. We do not need another dynasty or another Healthcare CEO. We need something that WNC hasn't had: a fighter. That's me.

Where's the money, Chuck? You promised $50 billion and you sat on the Appropriations Committee that is responsible for the allocation of funds. You failed.

Ager: You run with the system you have, not the system you want
The system's broken and we need a fighter!
Voters want money out of politics and he says this? They chose their candidate before you even voted!
Fun Fact: The DCCC already has a war chest set up for whomever wins the NC-11 primary.

This source is from a post WWII Germany. This is what accountability looks like. This is what responsibility looks like. This is what learning from your past mistakes looks like.

Look, I'm all for alternative career paths but this doesn't fix the issue. Large language models, aka the latest branding of AI, are never going to replace humans to the point that college education becomes obsolete. I value humans over machines and I will represent accordingly.

WNC deserves a representative that will not stand for any appeasement.

This rhetoric is extremely dangerous and disgusting. The Supreme Court ruled that law enforcement is under no obligation to protect, but when they do protect, it's framed as going AWOL?
