Alex Wagner

She is someone who's accepted millions of dollars from the insurance and pharmaceutical industries.

And so from my perspective, I think that there is no one who I would rather have the opportunity to run against in this election.

And I'll tell you, Tommy, when we defeat Ashley in November, I'm going to personally make sure that Candy and a couple of her neighbors come out to Washington, D.C.

for the swearing in.

There you go.

Not a fan, I guess, of Ashley.

Absolutely.

So look, I mean, it's an internal poll, very little detail provided about it.

But look, they've spent $5.5 million.

And when we talk about how super PACs have this disproportionate impact on our politics and primaries like this one, and of course, this is not our only race in the country where super PACs are spending millions and millions of dollars.

This is an example of, I think, something that a lot of Democratic primary voters are really frustrated with, because it feels like the super PACs are drowning out the voices of individual voters.

You've got, like you said, over $5 million spent so far, and that is a significant amount of money.

What I will tell you is that we've been traveling across the state.

Folks are really resonating with our anti-establishment message.

And it's not, frankly, just Gary and other Republicans or independents.

A lot of Democratic primary voters are not happy with what is happening in Washington right now.

They are not satisfied with the leadership of Chuck Schumer and they are ready for real change.

And so when we talk about how we need to make that change a reality, that is something that is resonating across the political spectrum.

And when you see.

to your point, candidates say, well, I'm opposed to dark money, I'm opposed to super PACs, and they're benefiting from millions of dollars of outside spending.
