My definition of patriotism is that it is unconscionable for you to disrespect the flag. You can be a patriot and challenge the government without disrespecting the flag.

My great-great-uncle Joseph Lorenz was a Private 1C in the U.S. Army. He was a member of the American Expeditionary Force, Rainbow Division, and died fighting in World War I in France.

I've never had a proper banana split in my life.

We have many valorous battle stories in our family.

Being a Raiderette is a part-time commitment but we call it a 'part-time full-time commitment.' It ends up almost taking more time than being an attorney.

My education, drive, and commitment have afforded me every opportunity I have ever sought.

OK, look, I just - I think that - I think everyone underestimates the power of an autonomy of every individual to make their own decision.

I lived on the West Coast my entire life and I've seen firsthand how the homeless crisis is spiraling out of control in cities like Seattle and Portland and Los Angeles.

My dad was a commander in the U.S. Navy with three daughters - you can imagine the tight ship that was our family household!

If I ever lost to someone, then I respect that person that out-competed me.

Before I could go out with friends I had to get my room 'ready for inspection,' and a good chunk of our family bonding time besides the kids' activities were definitely all the chores we did. Which I loved.
