Sheriff Mark Lamb

And so that's what we've done.

And I've actually gotten rid of a couple different consultants because I didn't want to go down the negative road.

And like most politicians, the second they get their back up against the wall, they want to attack.

They want to lash out.

As opposed to just having the cool, calm, cool temperament to say, what kind of problem I am and how do I get out of it?

And I think in politics, Americans are hungry for somebody that's authentic.

And the way they get out of it is just tell me who you are and let me decide if I want to vote for you.

And so the process has really just been a lot of hard work, speaking to a lot of people, going out and getting the signatures, being a positive person, addressing the issues, talking about the experience I have.

There is no other candidate in this race with more experience on the border.

I run an agency with a budget of over $60 million.

I'm expected to balance that budget and stay within that budget.

That understands national security.

Frankly, I will be the most knowledgeable senator in the Senate as it relates to the border and crime.

So I got a call from a guy that knows me, and he's in D.C., and he said, hey, look...

Some powers that be in D.C.

want to know.

And he didn't tell me who they were.

I suspect that they were probably the McCarthy guys because Eli Crane went against McCarthy.

What Eli Crane did was he went for the American people.

And then people in politics take offense to that when you're not on their team or whatever.
