Amanda Renteria

And I think if you ask anybody who has watched David Valadao debate Rudy Salas or debate Rudy Salas or debate T.J. Cox or debate...

Amanda Renteria or whoever it is, right? I think anybody that watched the debate between Randy and Valadao would say Randy was the one to perform the best out of any candidate that we've ever had run against Valadao.

And the reason behind that is because Randy on the debate stage was wasn't curating the perfect message of how do i say this in a way to where that one person that's sitting on the fence or that one republican that maybe will vote for me and give me a chance uh you know comes over and votes for me right he said i'm gonna be myself and i'm gonna be authentic and i think authenticity is something that is you know voters, especially apathetic voters, have a deep hunger for in politics.

And I think it's the missing ingredient that consultants and so many people leave out of the equation that is just not That is, it should be the most important thing.

So let's break that down.
