Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 I visited a tardeada in the Democratic stronghold of Eagle Pass, Texas, in 2009. I was invited to the Don’t Quit, Spit Blood Ranch party. When I got closer, hundreds of heads turned and fixed their gaze on me. It was like an old Western.
#2 I had been trained for this situation. It was like being at a diplomatic reception when I was in the CIA looking to bump a target of interest. I gave the same answer to everyone: Why am I here. Because I like to drink beer and eat barbecue, too.
#3 The 23rd district of Texas is a prime example of how the Republican Party needs to change its mindset if it wants to win elections again. The district is dominated by Latino voters, and has been voting consistently half Republican and half Democrat for the last decade and a half.
#4 To make the Republican Party more reflective of America, we must take four steps. First, we must accept that the 2020 election was lost. Second, we must stop peddling conspiracy theories like those that led to the Capitol insurrection on January 6, 2021. Third, we must broaden family values from its historical views on religion, marriage, and family structure. And fourth, we must appeal to voters of color.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

I visited a tardeada in the Democratic stronghold of Eagle Pass, Texas, in 2009. I was invited to the Don’t Quit, Spit Blood Ranch party. When I got closer, hundreds of heads turned and fixed their gaze on me. It was like an old Western.

#2

I had been trained for this situation. It was like being at a diplomatic reception when I was in the CIA looking to bump a target of interest. I gave the same answer to everyone: Why am I here. Because I like to drink beer and eat barbecue, too.

#3

The 23rd district of Texas is a prime example of how the Republican Party needs to change its mindset if it wants to win elections again. The district is dominated by Latino voters, and has been voting consistently half Republican and half Democrat for the last decade and a half.

#4

To make the Republican Party more reflective of America, we must take four steps. First, we must accept that the 2020 election was lost. Second, we must stop peddling conspiracy theories like those that led to the Capitol insurrection on January 6, 2021. Third, we must broaden family values from its historical views on religion, marriage, and family structure. And fourth, we must appeal to voters of color.

#5

The Republican Party must champion new family values. These values are not new, but the party has failed to be ideologically consistent in the pursuit of them, instead pursuing a path of political expediency.

#6

The Republican Party must stand for freedom, opportunity, growth, and progress. It is what has allowed people across the country to turn their American Dream into an American Reality.

#7

I was asked at a town hall in Fort Stockton, Texas, in late November 2014 if I would round up all the Muslims and put them in internment camps. I responded that such a thing was a terrible idea. From then on, I didn’t hesitate to admonish constituents for offensive comments and push back when they got facts wrong.

#8

I was often criticized for being ideologically consistent, but I didn’t care. I learned early on from my elementary PE teacher, Coach Clark, not to be easily influenced or affected by what other people say or think about me.

#9

I learned that visiting all the places I was campaigning allowed me to understand the emotional state of my constituents, and I began to feel compassion for them.

#10

If you are going to show up, you can’t be afraid of your constituents. The worst town hall I ever had was in Alpine, a small town in the 23rd north of Big Bend National Park in the Chihuahuan Desert. People were upset about a natural gas pipeline being proposed near their community.

#11

During the COVID-19 crisis, I made sure to show up and listen to the people of my district, even if it was uncomfortable. I learned that no one wants to scream right in your face, so you have to be careful when dealing with crowds.

#12

Republicans need to go to places where the party hasn’t been before and listen. Listening shows that you care, and people will trust you more if they know you care about them.

#13

The country was having a long overdue reckoning with issues of bigotry and hate, including unjust police violence. Many Americans thought the entire Republican Party was a bunch of bigots that condoned racism, misogyny, and homophobia.

#14

Republicans cannot deny that people associated with our party, including former President Trump, have made racist comments that give legitimacy to hateful ideologies like white supremacy.

#15

While I was in Congress, hate-crime violence reached a sixteen-year high, according to the FBI. Republicans were portrayed as being unsympathetic to these vulnerable groups until their deeds matched their rhetoric.

#16

I was one of a few Republicans who voted in favor of the Equality Act in May 2019, which would have banned discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
